Dear Me,
After a two-year journey of pressing through to the other side of the lessons that you were meant to learn in order to be where you are, you made it and it’s time to get to work. Although life and learning doesn’t stop here, you now have an understanding of what it is to truly be alive, to be at peace and to be in total alignment with the reason you are alive. Your “mistakes”, the people you encountered, the circumstances you were in were all a part of the plan that was laid for you. This plan was designed to help your soul accomplish things that it needs to accomplish in this life time and as you submit to the process of the plan unfolding, your life blesses you abundantly in ways that you can never fathom. Your process forced you to disconnect from everything that you identified yourself with externally and helped you understand the importance of and how to identify with everything internally, as this is the source of everything and what connects you to everything and everyone. You cannot identify with things that parish like possessions. A sign of when you are not in submission to your process is if your life feels choppy or if you feel like you are resisting. Submitting to your process feels like you are dancing effortlessly to music instead of being off beat, floating with the current of calm waters instead of trying to swim against the current, or demonstrating mastery of a form of martial arts instead of fighting with no cadence. A part of the process that you struggled with at first was releasing control of how and when things happen because it is scary, especially after operating with the pressure of “what’s next?” your entire lifetime. The only way the universe can bring things together in a way you will never be able to fathom is through releasing control. The plan that was laid out for you could not be successful without those who came before you, the environment that you were born in and the people and places that you have and will encounter at different phases of your life. Your soul will never endanger your life but will always allow circumstances and people to bring lessons that mold you for the sake of fulfilling its purpose and giving you choice. Never lose or give away your sense of self, peace or power, trust your process by releasing control of the how and when, and live life in a way that you will not look back with regret. Continue to love yourself unconditionally and know that everything that you need comes from within. Show people unconditional love and no judgement and one person at a time, you can change the world.

Formula: Intention + Speak + Believe + Visualize + Emotion + Release + Action = What You Want
With all of the unconditional love from within,
The ME behind me
Dear Reader,
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for reading this book. My intention is to spark consciousness within you and format this book in a way that you can work through things at your own pace and with no judgement. In fact, I encourage you upfront to forgive yourself in advance so that you can tell yourself the entire truth no matter how difficult it may be to embrace. In recognizing that everyone learns differently, this book provides many ways to get to the same result in which you can also complete the separate self-guided journal. If you are open to my suggestion, read the entire book at your own pace and apply what makes sense to you. I assure you that you can overcome anything through mindfulness, optimism, patience, persistence, self-love and trust. It is my hope and prayer that at the end of this book you will have or at least know how to get peace in your life and you will be on or at least recognize the path to fulfilling your soul purpose in life. My goal is to capture not only that I survived what I thought was one of the worst things that could happen to me but also how my life experiences, people and circumstances, connected in a way that brought my entire life together so that you can do the same with yours without having to go through the headache of figuring it out like I did. This connectedness of life experiences positioned me to see how and why things were the way that they were. I hope and pray that you will feel encouraged to go on your own personal journey when you are ready and stay committed and optimistic as you will see in this book you can have peace and operate in your purpose. What’s at stake if you do not go on this journey is what is perceived as the negative side of life; repeating the same lesson just with different people and places, being stuck in certain phases of your life, or never achieving your full potential. I feel the weight of life lifting off of you! I feel you taking your first breath of being alive! I feel your happiness and peace for you before it’s already here! I see you in a place of peace and fulfillment while enjoying every moment of your life. I cannot wait to meet you and YOU.
With all of the unconditional love that I have,
Jeremy
