Better Now Than Never: Book 1 Why

By Elle Croxford

This is the first of four books in the Better Now Than Never series of books.

Better Now Than Never: Book 1 Why is not another “how-to” guide, rather a “what-if” guide for the why, what and how of Life.

These books give an overview of the importance of self-worth and its impact on one’s journey of personal growth toward finding one’s purpose.

Barry Rosenbush – Film Producer (High School Musical, High School Musical 2, High School Musical 3: Senior Year) Los Angeles, USA

"Elle has truly found her life's purpose in writing ‘Better Now Than Never.’ Her book is a journey of self-discovery in learning how to live a fulfilling life, and sharing her experiences so others can learn from her. This is truly the shared journey of a lifetime."

Marty Katz – Film Producer (Love Ranch, The Great Raid, The Four Feathers, Reindeer Games & Lost in America) Los Angeles, USA

"’Better Now Than Never’ is not a simple 'self-help' book but rather a beautifully constructed, truly inspiring and insightful book which will appeal to all those questioning their existence, their purpose and their life."

Kathryn Jakeman - Yoga Teacher (calmayoga.com) Brisbane, Australia

"I died and came back to life…a real life…whilst reading this courageous and spontaneous book. A must for any person interested in social sciences as a guide to transformation, and an adventure for the soul. One is lead to the unfolding of the delights of the unknown self. (In fact) you’ll want to carry ‘Better Now Than Never’ in your pocket!"

Margot McDonald – Film Producer (Dead Gorgeous, Peaches, The Real Macaw, Sweat) Melbourne, Australia

"It takes a persistent and patient willingness to discover our own core values. ‘Better Now Than Never’ is a simple, practical and well-ordered inspirational book for any reader seeking answers and for those ready to uncover the hidden radiance within. The message is clear, concise and honours each person’s deeper being and core values. The book itself inspires courage, hope and the joy of achievement for anyone willing to undergo the process of change and transformation leading from darkness to light, from the unreal to the real. We are all one, coming from the same source and moving toward the same central point of synthesis. ‘Better Now Than Never’ is an integral part of the process of change and transformation that we all have to undergo sooner or later, for the purpose of the expansion of consciousness. Why not NOW?"

Jocelyne Larghi – Reiki Master & Life-Guidance Counsellor (reikihealyourself.com) Brisbane, Australia

"Sharing the deeper Self of who we really are is an act of courage. At this point in our collective history we need acts of courage to turn inside, be honest about what we see and then bring that honesty out into our decisions and life actions to benefit not only our own lives, but also the lives of future generations. ‘Better Now Than Never’ is an act of courage that provides a map for that essential journey. Travel well."

Carol Shantal - Convenor of Banaitja Integral and Author (The Great Love Story - why aren't we living it?) Brisbane, Australia

Who am I?

I am that which I am being in the present moment.

This is who I am…an eternal soul having a human experience called LIFE.

This life is to consciously evolve on a soul level.

We are all connected in this purpose.

Through our mind–body–spirit in balance, we achieve that.

I am no different to you.

You are no different from me.

As eternal souls, we all come from and return to the same source.

We are one part of the whole.

Therefore, the Source is part of me and I am part of the Source.

My life experience is an expression of my awareness of this knowledge.

Every single one of us has access to this.

This is the true essence of our being - to consciously evolve on a soul
