“Reality might bite your butt sometimes,
but it’s always REAL.”
- Coach Manuel
Speaking of perseverance, did you complete your I AM Committed To _________ exercise on page ix? If you did, congratulations! If you didn’t, what are you waiting for? Better yet, who are you waiting for? Good intention is just the starting point. In this world of dog-eat-dog cause and effect, intention is barely one-third of the equation; the rest requires your clear plans and, most importantly, your committed actions.
"What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end,
of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do."

I don’t know your life situation, but I suspect you’re probably reading this book because you’re discontented with your results. And I doubt it’s because you didn’t read enough self-help books - but probably more because you haven’t reflected, refocused, and redirected your actions well enough or consistently enough. Therefore, consider the exercise on page ix a huge benchmark! Its aim is to put relevance and focus on your focus from the very start. Its aim is also to empower you with clarity to declare you’re serious about your desired results.
I encourage you to not rush through this book; instead, slow down, and reflect with a calm mind while you consult your open heart. Yes, with your mind and heart. But what about my eyes, you may ask. But what about my eyes, you may ask. Our eyes don't want to see the magnitude of our collective problems, and they probably aren't yet trained to see the miracles required to solve them. Have faith. More importantly, have faith in your power to change - and I don't mean change things out there. The biggest and most necessary changes aren't external; they are internal, in our hearts and minds.
But you're not just challenged to elevate your commitment to change, you're now being challenged to elevate your commitment to change the way you think. If you felt your defenses rising after reading that, just flow with it and read on.

About the Book
Why should we consider change?
Part 1: Transformation, shares some observations about change through eight diverse perspectives. It also describes some experiences and typical consequences that happen when we focus on worry, resistance, scarcity, crisis, and/or fear. Here, readers will definitely gain more clarity as to what to change - and why.
How do I change?
In Part 2: Strategy, we trade our limitations, barriers and/or fears for resources that empower us. Throughout this chapter, you will be stimulated and challenged by the coaches’ questions. You will also have the access code to a FREE 30-day trial to a new software program that supports the achievement of your most desired goals and dreams.
How do I elevate my passion and fulfillment in life?
In Part 3: Passion, you’ll gather more supportive evidence as you confirm (or re-confirm) that the seeds of happiness are already inside you and that it would be wise to give them more conscious and compassionate attention. You will also be invited to reflect on and appreciate your existential perspectives -- the most important themes we all experience during our human existence. In this part you will also find elevated sources of inspiration, love, and passion. You may even find your most authentic self!
“A must read for everyone who wants to change their life… and doesn’t have a clue how to create the passion. When it comes to spiritual coaching and change, this is a masterpiece long overdue.”
- Dr. Paul Haider, Author, Puerto Rico
