I've learned this moment is as it is and is as it should be. With all its trials and tribulations it is the only time we have for certain. What happened yesterday and what may happen tomorrow can never compare to the intensity of this instant.

As such, we can agonize about what we don't have and don't like or give thanks for what we do have and do like. We can be grateful for each breath we take, each sound we hear, each color we see, each caress we receive and each smile we share.

Life is lived in this precise instant, here and now! It is common to waste too much time feeling sorry for what could have been or longing for what might be. What we have in this instant right here and now is what it is and is as it should be.

Today my editor told me, "We are all teachers and we are all disciples." I am convinced this is true and I am delighted to have shared with each and every one of you! On this journey I have learned there is always something else to learn. As Socrates so aptly stated, "I only know that I know nothing."

When we think about the knowledge and experience beyond our comprehension, we begin to realize how little we know, regardless of our depth of understanding in any particular field. What is truly marvelous about this wonderful world in which we live is we can connect with the knowledge of the world by simply typing a few words into a computer.

While we live in an era where we can communicate with virtually anyone anywhere in the world in a heart beat; we often forget our ability to laugh, share and enjoy magical moments which arise most often from common everyday incidents, rather than from isolated extraordinary events.

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 which 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 paperback book is like a "best of" Trans4mind - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! 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 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 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 paperback!
