About this ebook
Take the journey of a lifetime as you find a renewed you. Do you ever wonder if all the bad things that happen to you are all there is to your life and that there is nothing you can do to break the cycle? For the first time, you are honest with yourself and note that you have lost self-confidence, self-love, and self-worth. It feels like you have no more self to lose, and that you are running on empty, going through the motions of sleeping, waking, working, and eating, with no real commitment to anything. Life is happening around you and you are following the formula of life, surviving as best you can. As you focus on the bad things, you get deeper and deeper into despair and the murky waters of depression.
However, your life does not have to play on repeat, as there is an opportunity to move beyond the here and now to a place of being at peace with yourself. The decision to grow from the place of fear, despair, and hopelessness is a journey of self-discovery, hope, and growth. This book explores ideas and concepts to assist you as you awaken from the deep muddy waters of despair, emerging into the light within yourself, finding your happiness and passion.

Notes
Introduction
It’s never too late –
Never too late to start over,
Never too late to be happy.
Jane Fonda
Taking up the challenge to transform your life is hard, but it’s an incredible period of growth as you explore your why?
and find out what makes you really happy, what it is that brings about fulfillment and joy in your life. Taking back your power and finding your voice brings a sense of elation, fulfilment of self and of knowing that life, is, after all, exceptional. Becoming your authentic self is an amazing journey of self-discovery and love.
How many times have you thought?
•Why do bad things always happen to me?
•How can I stop all these bad things and change?
•Why do other people succeed, move forward, whilst here I am, stuck?
•How do I feel that all I am doing is treading water, hoping not to drown in the life I have?
As you look into your future, it’s easy to see a journey of more of the same. You may, for the first time, really become honest with yourself and note that you have lost self-confidence, hope, self-love and self-worth. It just feels like you have no more self to lose, you are running on empty, going through the motions of sleeping, waking, working and eating, with no real commitment to anything. Life is happening around you and you are following the formula of life. As you focus on the bad things, you get deeper and deeper into despair and even depression.
However, your life does not have to play on repeat, there is an opportunity to move beyond the here and now to a place of being at peace with yourself. The decision to grow from the place of fear, despair and hopelessness is an incredible journey of self-discovery, hope and growth, of breaking through the chains that hold you back on your journey to take back your power and find your voice.
This book shares personal lessons on the journey of self-discovery. I had to find a new reason to be alive, a new dimension of me. I’ve had to dig deep to find my real me, who I am, and why I am. I have found a new sense of love, for myself, for those in my life, and mostly for the greatest love there is, love from my God, my maker.
Using short stories from other people’s transformations, this book invites you to find out what makes you happy and how to make changes that transform your life as you move forward into the life you want, filled with passion and happiness.
I share some business tools, concepts and ideas, with related guidance on how to use them to apply to your own life as you move through breaking free from the life you have now to the life you want. The tools are not rocket science, so please don’t panic, but they do assist to guide your thoughts.
I found my voice.
Chapter 1 - Bad things happen
When things are bad, it’s the best time to reinvent yourself.
George Lopez
Challenge to reinvent yourself
Nothing stays the same, nor should it. Businesses are continuously reviewing ways, methods, product upgrades and product innovation to remain relevant and competitive in their market segments. The same is true for you, as you look at ways to meet your new desires and challenges.
Change is not something you
