What You'll Also Discover Inside...

Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you need to first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. This way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

Think positive. It's the oldest trick in the book. If you know how to think positively, then things will be easier for you. Why? Because positive thinking might really do wonders. Aside from that, once you think positively, you will notice that you'll actually feel good about yourself, and that you will feel good about what's going on around you. And, even if things go wrong, you'd know that these are just challenges and that you can rise above them.

Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple walking, you'll notice that you get this surge of adrenaline. This is because happy hormones are released and thus, you feel more confident about yourself, and more confident that you are actually capable of doing great things. Plus, once you exercise, you'll get to be happy and very beautiful, too.

This book will help you to improve your self-confidence to overcome social anxiety and shyness.  

I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

The next step is to put the useful information you found here into practice day by day, and begin to enjoy the wholesomeness of life.

Chapter 1 –  How to Make the Most of Your Day with Morning Routine

What do you do the moment you wake up? Do you start your day by checking messages on your tablet? Or by checking your news feeds from different social media sites on your laptop? Or by doing nothing because you don’t really have any time for any morning rituals because you’re late for work or school? Or you simply woke up late and have nothing to do but sleep again?

Sounds familiar, right? You may be a night owl but being a morning person is not so bad. According to researchers, whatever you do first thing in the morning actually affects the entire day ahead. You may be wondering how.

Let’s put it this way: you’re a writer and you’re starting a new book but you find it hard to start writing because you can’t seem to make up your mind or better yet you have no springboard. In another context, you’re an entrepreneur and you’re starting out on a new venture but then you’re having a hard time since you don’t have enough resources.

Just like a good book having an awesome springboard or a fortunate business having enough resources, you too must have an awesome springboard and enough resources in order to your day would end up being an awesome one! Here are some of the springboards you ought to have:

Say a Prayer

Prayer is the best way for starting your day right. When you start and end your day with a prayer, you will have a peaceful heart and a peaceful soul. Your prayer does not have to be lengthy and full of sugar coated phrases. Just pray to be thankful for another opportunity in life and to pray for strength to hold on through all the challenges you are currently facing and for all the challenges that are to come. Pray with an open heart and surely you will be heard!

Work that Body

Once you’re finished exercising your spirit, why not exercise your body? Exercising is one way of keeping your body healthy and in shape. Health experts believe that there are many benefits you can gain when you exercise. Here are some: You get energized and surely you’ll shake off that lazy feeling. You’ll have an increased metabolism which pretty much helps you become more resistant to common sicknesses. You would feel great about yourself and start to build your confidence. Those are just some of the benefits you would get when you work that body. So, start working that body and show the world what you have benefitted from exercising.

Don’t forget to Eat

Experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t ignore breakfast. It is important because it generates the energy you need to start your day and because it is linked to many health benefits. Also, eating breakfast helps you feel less tired and helps keep you focused on the tasks you need to accomplish within the day. You may be conscious about your body which is why you may be concentrated on dieting, but you still should have a breakfast each morning.

Show that Smile 

As you say your prayers and be intimate with the Creator, why not try to smile? Aside from being thankful for another day, smiling to a new day actually helps you start your day with a positive vibe. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It reduces all that stress in you and replaces it with a secured morning. So smile but don’t just smile; show the world your biggest smile!

Go Crazy

One of the greatest ways to have that extra special cup of happiness is listening to your favorite song. Music helps calm your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It motivates you to be magnificent and to be who you want to be. So turn the volume up, sing your heart out and shake that body to the beat of the music!

Simply You

Simple joys in life are worth more than the happiness you get from having fame and fortune. You may be rich and famous but somehow there would come a time that you won’t be happy anymore and all that fame and money would somehow cease to exist. Don’t miss out on all the things that make you happy. What matters most is how happy your heart is and how your happiness infects others.

Meditate

Meditation and exercise may have a lot in common but these two are really very different things. In exercising, you are rewarded by a lot of sweat and that fat burning sensation you would feel after rigorous physical activity, but with meditation, you will get that relaxing feeling and the calmness you’ve always desired.

Being able to have a daily drink of your own fresh cup of happiness in the morning surely makes you the happiest person that is awake. Add a dose of positivity and it will be a perfect mix for starting your day and having a great day ahead.

Chapter 2 - How to Uncover Your Passion

If you have already uncovered your talent, then it's time to discover your passion in this world. Passion is a solid feeling of enthusiasm for something or about doing something. Unlike talent, passion can be shared. Thus, people who have diverse skills can have the same passion. While those individuals who share the same passion, do not automatically have the same talents. An individual can be interested in his talent but also with other activities in his life. However, a person's talent can't be automatically his passion. If your passion is your talent, you should have more chance of achieving your goals. There would be less stress and inconvenience. Doing something that is already second nature to you and loving every minute of it would likely inspire you to have success than completing something difficult and uninspiring.

So what are the steps to discovering your passion in life?

Meditate. Passion is a huge force. It is unseen when it is not propelling something forward, such as talent. Thus, passion can be more difficult to see than talent. You might have several inner talents such as drawing, dancing and carving. One of these skills could be your passion in life.  It isn't easy to decipher our large number of wishes and dreams into passion or just momentary obsession. You need to think from your inner core. To be able to access your internal core, you need to meditate. Find a place where you can be still and be at peacefulness with your surroundings. Dive right down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest aspirations in life. Consider these questions:

a. What's my objective in life?

b. What takes up the majority of my time?

c. What do I really like doing?

d. If I will get the opportunity to do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

e. What would I do even if I don't get any payment or received anything for it in return?

f. What is it that I really do that animates me?

g. What makes me forget everything else aside from what I am doing?

When you can answer these questions in all honesty then you'll find important signs that will help you define your passion in life. You will need to really focus on your inner self, before you try to answer these questions. If you're in touch with this self, you'd be able to perceive the situation more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

Create a list of what you want to experience. Before you start your list, you should consider things which you have imagined doing but never got around to. You might not have done such things because of some factors such as - you didn't have courage to do it; you do not have the money for it; your loved ones were against it; you were too afraid to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. To make this particular list though, you need to include everything that you have imagined doing without thought of the factors which have hampered you from doing it in the past. Go over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you before. Include all you have imagined doing even though you think it's highly impractical, high-risk or bold. Maybe it's not really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly find your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging flame in you.

Make an effort to experience at least five of those included in your list. At the soonest possible time, you should try to experience at least ten of those which you have included in your list. Personally experiencing it'll give you an inkling of what really interests you, what lights you up more than anything else. Passion is what makes a usually silent person talk animatedly in regards to a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can't ever know very well what drives or excites you most if you have not done a lot of interesting things in your life. Have a firsthand experience of the possible things that could get the adrenalin going. Take a shot and who knows? You might discover just what it is that you would love to do for the rest of your life.
