Waking to a Happy, Fulfilled Life

After being exposed, in the formative years of my life and beyond, to a negative, ignorant, judgmental, and at times, hostile environment, where prejudice was rampant, I had become that which had influenced me in terms of how I saw life. Then one day, I woke up and said to myself, This is not right. Why am I so unhappy? I asked myself why things didn’t seem to work out for me. Why didn’t I have good relationships with friends and family? Why didn’t I have a girlfriend when all my friends had girlfriends or were married? Why wasn’t I as successful as I would like to be? Why was I so angry? All these feelings were a result of the environment I had grown up in, and many negative traits had been instilled in my subconscious that I was not aware of. Once I realized where I was in my miserable life and how wrong it was, I started my journey of enlightenment—the journey that would lead me to what I now know to be true. I turned negativity to positivity; ignorance to intelligence and wisdom; judgment to nonjudgment; prejudice to acceptance and seeing everyone as the same; and anger to love. This has been an immensely enlightening journey that has turned my life around, allowing me to be a good loving, happy, patient, faithful, and productive human being. After conducting years of research in psychology, science, and religion, I have discovered they all correlate with one another, and I am now convinced that we live in a world of all possibilities. This has transformed my life, and I want to share this with all who have had a negative, dysfunctional upbringing. Psychologists say 85 percent of families today are dysfunctional, which was an eye-opener to me. And of course, I was a part of that statistic and didn’t even know it. If you fall into this category, my wish is to take you to a better place in your life so you can be a happy, fulfilled human being. Just imagine having the perfect mate, the career you love, high levels of energy and health, loving relationships, plenty of money to do what you want or to provide for your family, and being at peace. I wrote this book to take you through all the experiences I was exposed to and all the research I conducted in order to illustrate how anyone can change his or her life for the better and evolve to their divine purpose. There were many times in my life where I didn’t think things would ever get better and I couldn’t get out from under myself, but I now realize that is not the case. Waking to a Happy, Fulfilled Life is for you who feel the same way I did and have the courage to take this journey with me, not only for your own good but for the good of all who are around you—and maybe for the world.
