For my parents
As Rumi once wrote, You were born with wings,
why prefer to crawl through life? I thank you, with
every part of my being, for demonstrating this for me.
Everything I am is because of your love for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

INTRODUCTION
FROM SERENA

Some years ago my father wrote a book called 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, in which he outlined the ten secrets he hoped his children would live by. Since I am one of his children, and have been raised on these secrets, I have a perspective on life that is quite different from that of my friends and peers. Growing up, I often found the advice my friends were gettingfit in, listen to adults, follow your parents examplewas completely different from the advice my dad and mom were giving to my seven siblings and myself. My parents were teaching us to follow our own destiny, and to go within and trust our innermost voice. They were teaching us that we are all pieces of God, created with our own purpose in this world.

Recently, I wrote a letter to my father that details what being raised this way meant to me:

Today I sat behind you in Ephesus, Turkey, while you gave a lecture to a few hundred people who had traveled from all over the world to hear you speak. I was overcome with emotion as I saw you standing there, fulfilling your dharma while touching the lives of so many. I know you as my father, but you have always been a teacher to me as well. You have taught me that the solutions to all of lifes problems are inside of me, and that I only had to go within, be silent and present, and know that all is well
