Introduction

My mission through this life’s journey is to ignite, motivate, and encourage individuals to reach their full potential. The journey to self-actualization can be a profound experience. I know from experience that examining oneself, what one does and how one feels can be the most challenging undertaking that one will ever encounter in life. In order for growth to occur one must be willing to self-reflect on where he/she is in order to get to where he/she wants to be.

This book presents a collection of issues that we face through-out life. It is designed to focus on a different issue monthly. It will guide you through daily reflections related to the issue. In doing so you will process where you are and ignite your desire to change and move forward.

I am indeed honored that you have decided to take time to devote to self-discovery with me. I am so grateful to share this journey with you.

Forever Grateful,

Dr. Teshia
