Engaging LIFE!

Excerpts from the Introduction

As I considered our living life in the modern era, this writing evolved into a broader and deeper scope than I first intended. Not only did I want to convey a crucial message for each of us to apply in our own lives, but I found my perspective elevated as I fixed my sights on principles we could all associate with and stand for. The message I will share with you applies to everyone — whether a young adult embarking on life or a seasoned professional who needs a kick-start.

As we look across the landscape of society, we see all the massive advances on the outside, but why are we not that much better off on the inside? It is as though the masses are asleep; completely taking their gift for granted. Is the modern lifestyle, so obsessed with ‘more, more, more,’ really answering the deeper nagging questions people seem to have? We have evolved a modern era that has become fixated on massive consumption, consumerism, and commercialism; which is fed by widespread greed, selfishness, and control. This trend has produced interesting social results we can easily observe:

• - Overwhelming personal stress
• - Unrelenting financial strain
• - Appalling divorce rates
• - Abysmal broken families

I am excited to share with you what I believe really touches the true "Essence of America." It is not a ‘thing,’ and it is not ‘out there somewhere.’ It is inside of you! I trust this message will serve you well no matter what your upbringing, your background, your education, or your lifestyle. No matter where you are on your own life journey, at the end of the day, we either exist in life, or will be deliberately Engaging LIFE! We will explore the profound differences, and you can decide which it will be for you.

Through a series of personal life events, I discovered a powerful breakthrough process that transformed my life. It is something that can bring greater meaning and purpose to every endeavor of your life; for the rest of your life. My mission is to move you into action, to help you get where you want to go. This just may be the best investment in yourself and your life that you have ever made. We will explore many profound things in our time together; however, if you want better results in your life, you will need to be in the driver’s seat as an individual; for your own future. This is about your choices, decisions, and the actions you will take from this point forward. After all, it is your life!

This writing really focuses on Life, the quality of it and how to improve it, as well as the Pursuit of Happiness, how to focus on and empower it. This writing is in no way political, so I leave the issues of liberty on the table for future exploration. This writing is in no way religious, so it will integrate with any belief system you may practice.

There is no magic pill; there is no secret potion you can take to just have everything be miraculously better. No matter how quickly 30 or 60 minute television shows, or two-hour movies portray it, Life does not work that way. You must be awake, alert, aware, deliberate, intentional, and determined to shape your life the way you might like it to become different than it may currently be; if that is, indeed, what you would wish.
