We all have periods in our lives where we face the uncertainty of our future and this usually brings the emotions of anger, fear and insecurity. Once these emotions are set in place and we allow them to take over, we find ourselves in a power struggle. This power struggle is inside us, forcing us to try and control the issues of our lives. It's a survival instinct. We simply have to know what's going to happen so we can be prepared. But life doesn't always work that way.
When we constantly worry about our future, we aren't staying focused and centered in the events taking place "right now." The decisions made today are what the future is based on. So if you send out worried thoughts on a daily basis, tomorrow will bring you nothing more than worried thoughts.
The human mind is easily programmed. It repeats what it already knows, thinking this is the only way to handle situations. To change this takes conscious effort. Remaining in the present and dealing with each thought individually, gives us the opportunity to change the thought patterns and programming that no longer move us forward. It's easy for us to fall into the habit of the way things were, but this will lead us down the road of living in the past. We can't change what happened yesterday. We can only learn from it and apply it to the events of today. So if it didn't work yesterday, chances are it won't work today. This tells you it's time for a change.
Uncertainty is a part of life. Learn to deal with it because it's part of the lesson of life. Blind leaps of faith and pushing through the unknown will bring tremendous personal growth if it's approached with the right attitude. Fearful thoughts will get you nowhere. Anger and stress will eventually make you ill. Trying to control the individuals and situations around you will only lead to more anger and fearful thoughts when it doesn't meet your expectations. It's a circle of circumstance you can't afford to get stuck in.
The one thing you have control over is yourself. Your emotions and the way you react to those emotions is entirely in your hands. Your life will unfold according to your reaction to it. So stay present. Remain focused on the emotions of right now. What are they telling you? Why are they present? What happened in the past that makes your programmed mind react in the way it does? Does it still serve you? Chances are, the answer is no. So let it go! When you let go, fearful uncertainty has lost control.
The heart of your attitude brings you everything or nothing. The choice is yours. A new emotional reaction today, means a new way of life tomorrow.

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 for Kindle (or the free Kindle Reader application for all platforms) 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

"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
