Are you looking for a better life, one that is more fulfilling? It is often that we look for answers, answers on how to achieve this – answers relating to different themes – subject matters about health, work, relationships, friendships, passion; also themes of emotions such as love, hate, anger, joy, frustration, and happiness. I understand your search for a better life, and your desire to understand how to achieve this in the complex world we live in.
Could you have a better life right here and now? The answer is yes!
Questions that you should be asking yourself –:
What does a better life mean to me?
Is my response to life and daily activities a good one? How can I make it better?
Do I get the results I’m looking for?
Why do I do things the way I do?
Am I self-sabotaging myself from having that better life I dream of?
What limits my determined efforts to do right?
Actually - Who determines right and wrong for me?
Whom have I given permission to have control over my very existence and my ability to have a better life?
The questions go on and on. You are left in a state of confusion and haven’t gotten further.
To begin - You analyse, then define, then re-define.
To analyse is to understand. To analyse is for the search of meaning, of purpose, of reason. In search of your happiness, you need to understand yourself. Then you define - You define your thoughts and your perception of things. We then define our actions. Daily self-reflections are necessary as an important part of this process. “Appropriate or not appropriate? Could I have done this better – with more love, with more conviction, with more passion, with less intensity? With less thought? Am I overthinking? Who is the judge of all that I do? Am I my best critique?” – Personal questions with complex answers. Maybe it is just simple. Everything is quite simple once we know how.
You set your own standards based on your morals, ethics, culture, and experience. What is your intention for every action? You redefine again, and again and again, until every aspect is polish to your liking, not perfection, but it leads to a better being. The process is simple, and it repeats itself as you continue to seek to live the life of feeling at peace and in oneness with your spirit. It’s life evolution. You are forever changing in thoughts, words, and deeds. Nothing remains the same. Nothing remains forever. Your ideology of a better life is changing too.
To live in true oneness of a truly better life, the mind, body, and soul must all be in alignment with the physical and spiritual world. The work in progress is daily, it’s constantly analysing, defining, and redefining all aspects of our being. Each day is therefore a perfect day in our own imperfection.
Let us look closer and deeper into how you can live your better life right here, right now.
Introduction ... by Nolene Sheppard
I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer.
20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for.
Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy.
It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy.
I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul.
I totally forgot that i was chasing for success.
I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist.
This is not a poet … and not a writer.
Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet.
And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject.
But maybe i am not an essayist… either.
I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker.
Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow.
And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that.
Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy.
I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls.
I personally continue to … write.
It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life.
But over all … i am glad … i am doing it.
I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but …
Well …. most probably… i am on a good path.
And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
