Do you sometimes feel like you are chained up in a cage? Or feel like you are inside prison walls? If so, why do you think that is?
Is it possible that you are not being completely true to yourself? That you are living a lie? In other words, could it be that you are not living who you "really" are? Not doing what makes you happy or what makes you at peace with yourself? Listen...
Listen closely to the answer you get from within. Do you hear a voice saying yes? Then you know something's not right.
Now, the question is... When are you going to start paying closer attention to that voice? That part of you that's crying out for help? That part of you that's constantly begging to be set free? And, more importantly, when are you going to start doing something about it?
When are you going to start doing what you love? What you enjoy? What gives you a deep sense of fulfillment? What makes you feel whole? When are you going to put into practice William Shakespeare's good advice below?
"This above all: to thine own self be true."
The truth is, you can start now, right now, just by deciding. You don't need anyone's permission, except your own. You can start doing and living what makes your heart sing.
I'm sure you can remember many times when you felt intense joy... when you felt complete. When things just felt right... very right. When deep down inside you, a part of you said something like: "Yes, this is what I love. This is what I am meant to do." Well, there's no reason why you can't have that feeling all the time. You don't need to remain chained up or to continue living a lie. You don't have to allow society or others to dictate the way you should live, the type of work you should pursue, the types of activities you should give priority to, and so on.
No, you don't have to stay helpless inside that cage... inside those prison walls. You have a choice. You can decide, here and now, to break free. To do what you love... and to do it as often as you wish.
Who cares about the past? Leave it behind you. That's where it belongs. You can decide to live life to the fullest - starting today. Remember, it's "your" life. And you don't have to give power to anyone (or anything) over it.
Although others may be well-intentioned when they try to discourage you from pursuing what you love--thinking they know what's best for you--it is "you" and not them who will end up either happy or miserable, in the short-term and in the long-term. I mean, just imagine what it would be like, if one day, in the future, you looked back and couldn't help but say, "I wish I had lived my life differently, pursued what I truly love... I wish I didn't allow others to dictate the course of my life. 'Cause then I wouldn't be so miserable today."
You decide how you should live your life - of course, always making sure that your motives and actions are in line with what pleases God.
Life is short... fleeting ...like a vapor. George Mateljan knew this when he said: "Life is too short to spend time doing anything except what you are passionate about." So live life to the fullest. Do whatever makes your heart sing... whatever makes you at peace with yourself. And remember to contribute to others in positive ways whenever you can.
Do it now... while there's still time.

Daring to be Yourself
The aim of the new book, Daring to be Yourself by Peter Shepherd, is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities that set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture.
This 264-page eBook is like a "best of" the Trans4mind site, all brought together for your convenience. But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and reveal your full potential with this step-by-step approach... Daring to be Yourself. Also available for Kindle (or the free Kindle Reader application for all platforms) at Amazon.com.
Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links.

"I realize many people use praise in ways that sound frivolous...but I must tell you that your book has changed my life AND I mean that in all ways. I found the entire work wonderfully upbeat, readable and valuable! It really was quite a wakeup call. In the midst of my "trials and tribulations" I had failed to be "me." Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA
