A Simple Life Experiment as found on page 38. For best results, please follow these simple directions very carefully. 1. Get a piece of paper. 2. Get a pen or pencil. 3. On that paper, write your name, a note, a letter, a symbol, or anything you can think of. 4. Take a good look at what you wrote. 5. Now put that ink back in the pen or that lead back in the pencil. Aha! Couldn't carry out #5. Throughout our lives and maybe without our permission, others have taken the liberty to write on our paper and hand it back to us. Let’s be grateful there was someone to hand it back to. After that paper has been written on, what we do with it is entirely up to us. Our options are infinite. I came up with fifty-plus possibilities within thirty seconds but shortened the list to make a point. So with that paper in hand, you can do various things such as: insert between pages in a book, make a paper airplane, throw it out, etc. And even if you cry with all your heart; scream at the top of your lungs; pray, plead, and beg from your inner soul; and jump up and down with sorrow or regret, you and I cannot change what has been written on that piece of paper. The only area where you and I have control is what we do with it. Life is the same way. If we were abused, mistreated, or hurt as a child, it was not our fault. We must come to the understanding that we can’t change anything that has already happened to us. In order to live a happier and more fulfilling life now as adults, you and I must realize that we have the ability control what we do with those experiences. The core of this book is to imprint the fact that daily, you and I actually have a choice. The vital key is to know within ourselves that neither you nor I can un-happen anything in life. From this place, we can be grateful that we have the gift of today and the whole future ahead of us. Let’s stop ruining our today and tomorrows with things of the past. Let’s use the present to create a better future for ourselves. Are you ready?

About the Book
Your Positive Potential: Action Steps for Self-Empowerment offers a compilation of personal life experiences, overheard stories, anecdotes, and insight with encouragement to overcome obstacles for a more productive life. All adults have a past. Just the simple fact that we are alive today says that we have a past called, yesterday. We may classify our yesterday as years of experience, or we may classify it as one memorable experience in a single day — for example, a wedding day or a tragic accident. But one thing is certain, and that is that we cannot change our yesterdays, but we can make choices afterwards. As adults, we have the potential to change the results of our yesterdays, if we have the willingness to change them. It’s a fact of life that wounds happen without our permission, scars result from those wounds, and how those scars are perceived determines our peace with ourselves. Life is too short to settle for an unsatisfactory existence. Become proactive with your physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being for a more productive and fulfilling life. Find self-empowerment and a new path in life through self-discipline.
