Good Day!
About a year ago I started getting into the "self improvement" thing. A year before that time my wife of 11 eleven years decided she wanted a divorce and up and moved 6 hours away with my kids in tow. I was left with no home and very few friends to rely on.
In fact friends that we had in common were, apparently, no longer my friends. I guess we were a "package deal." That kind of hurt.
And so I had to learn what was important to me and how to get my life back on track instead of feeling sorry for myself. In another post I'll talk about how I improved my health and personal outlook and other things as well.
I watched "The Secret" and learned about the Law of Attraction. As many of you who watched it I felt, "Hey! I can do this! AND my life will be so much better!!" But, it wasn't as straightforward as that. So I started to read some other self help stuff.
Soon after watching "The Secret" I read "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen (if you haven't read it, find it. It's free on the web.), and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and other stuff. (Don't let the title fool you. It's more about being considerate and understanding than anything else.) Another book I read was about the Universal Laws and how they interact and how simply understanding them can greatly help one's life.
All of the things that I've read and continue to read all aim to do one thing - improve who you are from your own perspective. And the responsibility falls on you to do that. Change can only come from within before it can happen without.
Hopefully this blog will help to enlighten many and bring to light the wonderful and special nature that each and everyone one of us has.
Come and let us reason together,
