The 3 Facts of Life
()
About this ebook
You have 3 super powers that you can either use to your advantage or let them take advantage of you. You can take control of these powers and use them to create the life you desire, achieve anything that you set out to achieve, set any goal and accomplish it and steer your life in the direction you choose.
You use these powers everyday whether you know it or not, yet most people have no control over them, so they are controlled by them. When you are not in control, it means someone, or something else is, be careful who is controlling of you because you may end up with a life that does not live up to your expectations.
It is never to late to take control of your own life and use your own super powers to get the life of your dreams.
When you know the power you possess and how to use it, then there is no limit to what you can achieve.

Hi and welcome to my page.I am Robert and I love life, which is why I write about how we can make life better, not just for ourselves but for those around us and for the world in general.I am passionate about helping people to improve their lives and am a firm believer that we can all have and do exactly what we choose to, when we understand how life really works. My work reflects this fact and is all about how to use our natural tools to improve our lives.I am British and originally from London, but now live by the beach in a small village in west Wales where I enjoy the beautiful rural surroundings. I love writing, running, food, wine, travel and socializing, but then I guess who doesn't?I have only written two books so far, but have my third planned and will add it as soon as I finish it. I sincerely hope you enjoy my work and that it helps you on a personal level.

Acknowledgements
As always in anything we do in life, there are people to thank and express our gratitude to, for the help they have given, because we all need help in the things we do to get what we desire in life. Whether people know they are helping or not, it is still a great thing to do, to express your gratitude and thanks.
There are many people to thank for the creation of this book, some who directly helped with their involvement and some who indirectly helped over my lifetime so far, without even realising it, but by just being themselves. So the list could be long, but for those who have helped indirectly, I will just say a big thank you, I have learnt a lot from you all, good and bad, and as a result of your involvement in my life I am who I am today. The rest who were directly involved I will give a special mention below...
First off, I would like to thank Louise my wonderful wife and Joseph my wonderful son. Louise for her continued support in my life and my values. Her help and encouragement has been and continues to be an inspiration to me and the things I want to achieve in life. Just as Louise helped with my first book 'A Fabulous Life', she has done it again and has to take some of the credit for the creation of this book and for that I am truly grateful. I would like to thank Joseph for constantly inspiring me to be a better person, and to keep searching for growth, if not only to set an example to him and in turn to help him grow.
Second, I would like to thank Karen Bourne, a great friend who took on the task of proof reading the book, again giving up her own time to help get this book to you in its current form, just as she did with my first book ' A Fabulous Life'. I am truly grateful to Karen and thank her for her continued help and support in my writing journey.
I would also like to thank Natalie Ledwell, Liam Naden and Yaro Starak for their participation in Chapter ten of this book. I approached many people to take part and give me their opinion on the question I sent them and Natalie, Liam and Yaro were kind enough to give up some of their time to help me in my quest to express the three facts of life. So a big thank you to these great people.
Preface
Life is an amazing thing, it is a wonderful thing and it is all around us, yet we miss much of it, even though we are a part of it. Have you ever stopped to think about what controls all this life we see around us? You know what life is because you are it, so what controls you?
This book is about the true essence of life, how we operate in life and how our lives work and I have written it in a way as to not get too technical or heavy about this very complex subject. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, I wanted it to be easy to read and therefore easy to understand.
I believe there are three things that we all possess and all use in our everyday lives that determine our life’s path. Believe it or not, we do have control over these three things, which means then, we must have control over our lives.
There is a problem though, you see most people are not in control of all of these three things, and you have to be in control of all three of them to be able to have complete control of your life. If just one of them that is not under your complete control, then it means that you may not have total control over your own life. You may not be getting the results in life that you think you want, this is because you are not controlling all of the three facts of your life.
I am going to explore each one of these three things in turn and in some depth. I am going to explain how to take control of them and change them at your will, then use them altogether for the best results. If you can do that, then you can control your life and steer it in the direction you most desire.
By taking control of these three things you can then achieve what you want to and live your life exactly how you want to, get what you want and be who you want to be. These three things are so important that they literally are your life, and not one person can escape them or the influence they have on their life.
Take it from me, learn about the three facts of life, how they work and how you can control them, and then see your life change before you.
Now you know what this book is about and what it can do for you, why did I write it?
That is very easy to answer, and the answer goes like this...
I have written this book to help myself and everyone that decides to read it, as it really is all about improving life and I would love to improve the lives of as many people as possible, as well as myself. You might think it is a little weird that I would write a book to help myself, but it is true. You see I find it very therapeutic to write and as I am on a journey of discovery, just as you are, writing about what I have discovered helps me to cement it into my own life, so it helps me, whilst helping you. Think of it as part of my own personal development, whilst also becoming part of your personal development, our growth in life together.
This book is not fiction, it is about real life, my life, and your life. What I write about here is real, I am living it and I am changing through it, so I know it works.
So I am helping myself whilst I attempt to help other people; that has got to be a win - win scenario, right?
Just remember that all the information in this book, everything that I have written here is completely my own interpretation of how life works. I may be seen as technically wrong on some points I make, in some people’s eyes, but I am writing from my own perspective and understanding, my own experience of how life has worked in the past for me, and how my life is now working for me in the present, and that is actually what life is all about, our own perspective and understanding of life, is life.
Anyway, it is time to get on with the book and learn the three facts of life. If you, the reader get from this the solution to your life, then I would have succeeded in my quest to improve the world just that little bit more, and that is a great feeling. So read on and let me introduce you to my life, your life and everyone’s life.
I hope you enjoy the information in this book and that it may help you in some way to improve your life.

Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful, amazing thing we call our lives. Let us take a quick look at what I am covering in this book, I will start by asking you a couple questions;
Do you ever question your life?
Do you ever question life in general?
We all have questions from time to time, we might not ask anyone else these questions, but we do ask ourselves because we are talking to ourselves in our minds constantly. Our days are like running commentaries and we are the commentators. We may ask ourselves a lot, or a little, but we all ask ourselves questions. These questions may include the following:
What have I done in my life?
What have I achieved?
Why have I not got everything that I wanted in life?
Am I running out of time?
Why do I always feel so tired?
Why do my kids never listen
