Book Cover & Preview Text
This twelve-week adventure is designed to build more positive feelings towards ourselves. No matter how high a person's self-esteem is, isn’t it fun to know it can always go higher? As each person learns more about his or her wonderful creative self, self-esteem grows. Then, as each person becomes more positive and self-accepting, so does his or her life. What we think about, we generate more of. What are you thinking about regularly? What are you dreaming about? Are you retelling the tales of your old negative life events over and over again or are you talking about your new positive life dreams? It makes a difference, you know. That self-fulfilling prophecy comes into play. If you are worrying about something, haven’t you noticed that it often comes to pass? And conversely, the more expectant you are of good things, the more those come to pass. Learning to find your creative self is an adventure just for you. Does the adventure ever stop? No, it continues each and every day of our lives. Abraham Lincoln once said, “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” How happy do you want to be? Are you ready to reach your own personal “happiness best"? Why not try? Intrapersonal communication (communication with self) continues every day as long as we are alive and kicking. The more positive we feel about ourselves, the more successful the day becomes. The more positive we feel about life and living, the smoother our communication becomes and the happier our lives become. I have lived a long time and I have read many, many books and experienced many varied life adventures. I have studied under many fine teachers. However, there is a master teacher—a master creator, if you will—inside us all who has something to say. If you don’t let that creative self have its voice, there will probably be angst in your life. I’m letting my creative self speak in this book—in the life lessons, in the choice of questions, and in this introduction for you…. We all have such busy lives and schedules. I have endeavored to make this book light and tight. Beginning to make changes to attitudes and beliefs takes time and energy. Space is needed to create. By reading a book like this, we are creating a new chapter in our lives. We don’t need bitterness and misery to create. We don’t need to be verbally abused or beaten to perform better. We don’t need to be alcohol drenched or to ingest massive amounts of drugs to create whatever masterpieces we want to give to the world. Creativity flourishes in an atmosphere of love and respect and encouragement. Forget the negative past. Focus on building a positive present and future. To find one’s creative self does not have to be a difficult and unpleasant task. It can be joyous and fun. Oh my, having fun while learning—my favorite! That’s why I became a teacher. I love communication experiences that bring joy to our hearts, don’t you? This one has the added benefit of building self-love at the same time. How could it get any better than that?
