I was recently told a story about a woman from Texas who was making the Sunday lunch. Her husband and children were around and at one point her son came into the kitchen to offer his help (things must work differently in Texas!) and the woman replied, "Thanks honey, just cut the end off the beef and pop it into the roasting tin." Now as the son was doing this he realized he was slightly puzzled as to why, so he asked his mum. And she replied, without even blinking, that it was because that is what her mum had always done. Now the son being more inquisitive that the mum decided he wanted to know why grandma had cut the end off the roast so he went into the front room where grandma was sitting and asked her: "Gran, why do you cut the end off the roast?" She replied, again without even blinking, "Because that is what my mother did." Now the son was really curious (always a good place to be) and he decided to phone up his great gran in Houston and ask her, "Why did you cut the end off the roast of beef?" And her reply? "Because I was feeding a family of 8 and my roasting tin wasn't big enough to hold the joint!"

Sometimes we just do what we do because that is the way we have always done things. And sometimes it's because that's the way we have always known how to do something. And that's OK if we know WHY! How many things in your life are done without thinking and how many things could be better if you examined new ways of doing things?

Next time you are walking in the sun, or maybe just sitting enjoying the warmth, why not take a few moments to just breathe deeply. And as you breathe, consider the warmth and the energy of the sun entering your body and warming the very center of your being. You may notice the warmth all over or it may just be in one specific place. There is not right or wrong, just notice what you notice and hear the sounds that you hear. And after a period of time, for some this may be 10 minutes or so, and for some it may be a little longer, you could start to become aware of the patterns in your life that could be improved. Just allow whatever thoughts that come, to come. No judgment or censorship is needed. Just acknowledge the thoughts and let them flow through.

When the thought process seems to have gone quiet, you may realize that one particular theme was recurring for you, one area of life that would benefit from further attention. And this could be your starting point for answering the question, "Why do you do what you do?"

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...

"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 A digital copy of Daring to be Yourself is included with purchase of the Start a New Life! home-study course - which is effectively the practical "workbook" that accompanies the book by Peter Shepherd.
