24 Questions

It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.Mohandas Gandhi

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6 NIV)

Welcome to 40 Days to Discovering the Real You! The volume you hold in your hand will accompany you on this eight-week journey. I am on a mission to reconnect you with the true essence of a healthy soulto lead you to a place in God where your soul can be healedto reacquaint you with your authentic self. The next 40 days of getting to know the real you are going to be the best 40 days of your life! More importantly, when you learn to live authentically, from a healed, whole soul, no leaks, no punctures, no woundsfree and clear from artificial, socially modified, cultural toxinsyou will not only change your life, you will be poised to change the world.

We have all heard the phrases, Shes a beautiful soul, Bless your soul, or Hes a mean old soul. These phrases describe our perception of an individuals nature or character. We are all soul-people, and I believe that strengthening people at the level of their soulsrestoring the soul and establishing it as the core and essence of who they really are as self-directed people of value, intelligence, and greatnesswill change the world. We must break the false perception that as individuals, what we do does not make a difference in the greater scheme of things. We are as a nation, as a people, nothing more than the sum of our parts. As the giant world-changer, a small man by the name of Mohandas Gandhi, once said, A nations culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. We will only be as whole and healed as a country as we are as a people. Oscar Wilde, the famous Irish poet and novelist said, Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you. To reiterate a soul-searching question posed by Jesus, What does it really profit us if we gain the whole world and lose our soulsthe essence of who we really are and what it means to be human?

If you are here reading this today, I imagine you have asked yourself that same question. For those of you looking to reclaim your soul and recapture the essence of who you really are, you are in the right place. I created this 40-day journal to guide you step-by-step, day-by-day, into a more authentic life. I am so glad you have chosen to join me on this journey to greater mental, emotional, and spiritual health! If you are looking to transform your life, you need look no further!

But before we begin, I want to encourage you to make sure you have a copy of both The 40 Day Soul Fast book as well as this journal. You will benefit from the deeper teaching and depths of insight offered in the book that are not touched on here.

Also, because it is a proven fact that we increase our probability of completing a task or reaching our goals if we have someone supporting usI encourage you to ask four other people to join you on this journey.
