Do you own your life? It's an unusual question, but how you answer it is the primary determinant of your life's happiness and fulfillment.When you consciously choose to own your life, you become free--free from feeling controlled, free from the paralyzing fear of the unknown, free to chart your own course, free to feel peace and happiness, and free to hope and dream again. When you own your life, you go from challenge to challenge with a smile on your face; not because you enjoy tough times, but because you know you can do hard things and reap the benefits that come from pushing through them.Sounds good, right?That's because it is. It's a fundamental principle that supports success in anything worth accomplishing. But, living this way isn't easy for a lot of people. It requires persistent work and conscious discipline. It is a great prize that is won through purposeful, consistent effort--which is why most people don't do it. Why is that? Why would someone deny themselves such a valuable prize?Unfortunately, my experience has been that most people have been unintentionally taught and conditioned to think 'dependently.' Whether they have previously been rewarded for people-pleasing behavior, or, they have been taught to believe that dreaming big, taking risks, and standing out is irresponsible, most people are relentlessly coached through their lives to play small. These life experiences and influences shape the belief that there is security in embracing mediocrity, and in feeling a sense of safety and assuredness in the crowd.And the crowd does feel safe; it feels comfortable. But it only feels that way because it never requires you to grow. Instead, it encourages you to give up ownership of your life and just let it happen to you--instead of you happening to life. And living that way seems easier, but it's a well-traveled path to a life unlived, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied.Life's journey isn't about waiting for someone else to tell you what to do, it's about you asking yourself: "What do I want to do? Who do I want to become?" and, "How can I be the best I can be?" Then, it's about aligning your choices and actions accordingly--especially when obstacles and challenges try to push you in a different direction.That is what this book is about; how to take ownership of your life as you work your way through it by understanding five simple principles. I've seen the application of these principles change people and how they live almost overnight. They're empowering and ennobling. They're easily understood and mastered over time with each step forward bringing greater light and satisfaction into your life.I'll explain these five principles as I share a personal journey of self-discovery that happened as I navigated the challenge of finding out my children had special needs. As cliche as it sounds, my most sincere wish is that you will come away from reading this book with greater clarity for yourself, and with the courage to do whatever it takes to live on your own terms--to own your life.Cim (author)
