Chapter 1

What Do You Want?

Let's start with what it is we'd all rather have more of... the reason most likely you're reading these words, for the sake of a greater happiness as a root's cause. Happiness connotes a sense of pleasure and delight, intertwined with joy, feelings of expression which exude a presence of satisfaction. As peace... its correlating factor eludes of an inner contentment or serenity and harmony. Based on this definitive reasoning, how do we attain this state of happiness... how do we attain this state of peace without first defining or deciphering that which makes us feel the feelings of pleasure and delight... that which makes us feel the serenity in a world ever evolving... How do we ever begin to know or find of its ways? Don't worry, as you read along your mind will become enlightened at every turn to understand what your life is telling you... to understand what your life defines itself of personal happiness.

Let's go a step further... ponder this for a moment, not that you'd have all the answers... just think about What Do You Want? … What Do You Expect To Happen? What do you want in Life... what do you want out of Life... what do you wish would happen... Think about this truly and absolutely without any limitations upon your mind. Think of what it is would bring about the aforementioned feelings of happiness, joy, excitement, pleasure... for now just think about this not hastily answering for this is a question that begins to form a beginning to our own roadmap along the journey, along our path of life to each his own finds of unique answer, not in what you think you should do, nor all that you've been told to do - for it is your life worth living - for it is your life you must find satisfaction and reason for being.

As I posed myself the question upon journaling one day, it wasn't sufficed to say at the onset I had all the answers. It took many moments of quiet pondering, if not days to find of absolute truth. You will find it may take some time to find Life speaking to you in and of a mind's subconscious. Life cannot speak in and of a chaotic world, in and of a mind of chaos, Life cannot speak destiny to you in a world of busyness. For the quiet moments, the quiet times are important and necessary to reconvene with nature at one's doorstep, to reconvene with a sunrise speaking life within its walls. Listen and heed the calling of late night or early morning, mid day or later evening, whatever a time Life chooses to adhere or send its messages upon you should a listening ear be not of pretension. Just take some time and remember we're enlightened one page at a time, one step at a time we're finding our own meaning to Life.

Here's another thing... for anyone having a time trying to ascertain the meaning of a journey unsung. Try this. Think of all that you know 'characteristically' to exist within yourself... anything at all you'd consider a gift or talent, anything at all for instance to be of creative qualities, uniqueness of character, for instance. Think of this as a notation you can call 'What I Know' ... just jot down anything that comes to mind. As in the present, this list is never all encompassing, and in no way reflects future or unknown desires or attributes attainable. Let this also serve as beginning source to position oneself upon that wavelength of life speaking… upon that visualization stream thereby constructing the initial footprints to one’s own roadmap.

As you continue to read more throughout these pages, you'll find yourself increasingly enlightened and with a much greater focus and courage that you may want to expand

Reviews for What Is Life Trying To Tell Me?

[lisanne624_1 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Um . . . this book was very hard to get through. It was very wordy without saying much. Take, for instance, this sentence from the first chapter where the author is attempting to get the reader to identify what's important in life: "For the quiet moments, the quiet times are important and necessary to reconvene with nature at one's doorstep, to reconvene with a sunrise speaking life within its walls." Sunrise speaking what? Or this sentence from chapter three: "Write of that Monday afternoon or morning, while the caroling upon a world of intuition finds the same name calling" (I have no idea what's going on there). Unfortunately, the whole book was like that. The formatting was also strange. Nearly every paragraph had several sentences with ellipses. Sometimes the following word would be capitalized, sometimes not. It seemed to be written in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style that made for hard going. There might be some good and useful information in here, but I wasn't able to puzzle it out from the awkward grammatical constructions and strange punctuation.I received a download of this title from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers programUm . . . this book was very hard to get through.
