For my mother, who never gave up on me
and insisted in helping me find happiness.
I am grateful.

Introduction

I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet, and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.

Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Did anyone ever ask you this question? Did you have an answer? Do y ou have it today? Are you doing what you have dreamt of as a kid? Did you have a dream? Do you feel like the woman in the Sylvia Plath quote?

Most people live their lives from paycheck to paycheck, trying to provide their families with the best life they can. They save for vacations, for college tuition, cars, and other materialistic items. They go through life in pursuit of these tangible goals and believe that they will only feel satisfied once they have achieved the items on societys checklist but never really focus on what they really want.

Lets go together through some of the common items on that checklist:

• Finish 12 years of studies
• Attain a degree
• Get a well-paying job

• Get married

• Have kids
• Buy a car and house

• Travel somewhere exotic occasionally

I want to know, is this list enough? Do you think accomplishing everything on this will make you feel fulfilled? Will checking the items on this list make you feel happy? The answer is clearly no. These things are important but they will not make us happy.

How many of us are enthusiastic about living in this world? How many of us are so ecstatic about what we do to the point where it keeps us up at night? How many of us know how to really focus on the fig that we want and make it our own? Not enough of us. Happiness is a tool that will allow us to wake up every morning in pursuit of these goals, thrilled to start our day. Now, what if I told you that I know some people who live this way? An enjoyable life exists out there, and it is waiting for you to tap into it. Life is waiting for you to grab what it has to offer you!

The purpose of this book is to provide you with the tools and techniques that I have learned and created to help both my clients and myself create happiness and fulfillment for ourselves. The results of your life today are the reflection of the thoughts and actions that you made over the years. If youre not happy with it, its time to make some shifts and turns, and start with a different outlook in life.

This book will teach you what already worked for thousands of people. Most of us will experience thoughts of skepticism upon reading these words. But before you go any further in reading this book, I ask you to put that skepticism aside. In order to benefit from this book, you must try to keep an open mind. One cannot pour water into a full cup. And those who are not open to changing the way they think will find it difficult to achieve the happiness they desire. Even if some of these ideas are familiar with you, keep reading. Sometimes all one needs are things to be said in a different way in order for you to actually internalize it and act upon it. Keep your eyes and mind open to what you can discover about yourself and your life.

Today, at this very moment, you are starting a journey to discover your new and better self. Your new identity is on its way, ready to create a liberating life that exists in your reality, making every day a day of progress, fulfillment, and true happiness. Be kind to yourself when reading this book. Its okay to read things twice. Its okay to take a break if you must, but leave a mark on your calendar when you plan to continue. Then, go back to the chapter where you left off and continue. Take yourself and your time seriously. Turn off your phone, go to a private room, and do the work. Forget the person you thought you were. Get rid of all the names and labels you gave to yourself and your personality. You have the power and will to put this into practice and achieve positive results. I will be there with you along the entire journey.

Welcome!

I am thrilled to begin our short,

yet transformative journey together.

If you bought this book, it means you are searching for more.

The one who is a seeker shall always be a finder.

To honor that first important step,

theres a surprise reward waiting for you

at the end of this book!

Now, lets dive in!

Table of Contents

Chapter 1

Discovering Your Identity =
Life Creation

Ask yourself, What is it that I am good at? What can I do with it? Then ask the universe to help you create that.

- Sara Blakely, Businesswoman and Entrepreneur

O ur identity started developing at a very young age. We were feeling emotions since the day that we were born. Each situation we encountered shaped our identity and our idea of the person we think we are. Imagine you were a child, running inside the house and you accidentally broke a flower vase. Your mother screamed and got mad because it was a gift from a friend. It made you feel worried and sad. You knew that your mother was disappointed and, in addition to that, the realization that what you did was wrong left you feeling at fault. The situation created guilt and unpleasant emotions within you. To make up for negative feelings, you told yourself, From now on, I will never run inside the house. Although you have learned from the situation, it also made you create a pattern in your mind to avoid having that guilty feeling again.

The brain is flooded with millions of bits of data every single second of every minute of the day. However, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in his book, Flow, demonstrated that the human brain can only effectively process around 134 bits of data per second. Our brain makes the work easier by creating automatic patterns of behavior, which I call automats. It tries to create shortcuts so it wont have to think again how to react in a recurring scenario. For example, while you were baking cookies, you accidentally touched the hot surface of the oven. The brain sends signals to your body the moment your skin touched something hot. Your automated response would be to remove your hand from the oven. When you did that, the pan of cookies you were holding fell on the floor. Your mother may have then screamed at you. In addition to the automated responses of your physical body, this situation may also impact you emotionally and leave you feeling guilty. You try to make it up to your mother to, somehow, feel good. Automats are learned responses based on our previous experiences, to protect or prevent ourselves from physical danger or unpleasant feelings.
