DEDICATION

TO MY AMAZING MOTHER and daughter, Jaqueline and Reyhan, with my deepest love. Also, to everyone who has played a part, knowingly or unknowingly, in my journey of unfolding, growth, discovery, and transformation.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

HAVE YOU EVER FELT stuck in a rut, like you’re suffocating or uncertain about where your life is going? Like, no matter what you do, you just aren’t making the type of progress you really want? Like, your enthusiasm and motivation is being pushed further away and lessening with each rough experience you encounter? Like, you are working hard, but nothing is genuinely changing or mirroring your idea of prosperity? Or, you just go through the motions each day because you have responsibilities and it is what you are supposed to do? Maybe you are observing your apathy towards things that used to matter to you or the quality of your life and health is on the decline.

I have been stuck there for years, but now I am living an upgraded life and able to help guide others to theirs. I cannot tell you how overjoyed, protective and grateful I am, to finally be where I am now, with a brand new perspective of life, on a progressive trajectory, at peace within the confines of my skin, and with every cell of my being sensing the electricity of renewal, intentionality, and expectation.

The journey to this point was no overnight feat. I have much more changes to undergo, but I have come to realise that this process was in train from the day I was born. Purpose was calling me to grow all this time, but I was deafened, hurt, and not receptive.

You will come to understand that your challenges occur to fit your life, inner state, and the level of training you need in order to step into your next level of growth. When we miss our messages and are unresponsive to the lessons of our challenges, that is when cycles repeat, and we often end up stuck in an undesired state.... until we are moved. As dictated by inertia, Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion, a body at rest, in a default state or moving at a uniform pace, will remain in that condition until a force is applied to it.  As you will guess, a strong force was applied to me and, interestingly, that force originated on the inside of me. Stay tuned for the details.

Life happens for us, and much of it is based on what we allow and attract. That is why success, in the details, is going to be different for each of us. We are different individuals and our circumstances are also different. Having understood that I attract my realities and learning pathways, my mission is to help you repossess time and understand how to lead yourself on a progressive track to greatness, success, and wellbeing.

Some wisdom from Frederick Douglass, Without a struggle there can be no progress.  Believe me when I say your current struggles are perfect for the growth step you need to make right now. All challenges, obstacles, difficulties, and problems are welcome here. You can only progress from where you are, so accept your life as it is and choose to harbour no self-judgement or resentment. Use this book as your personal self-care guide to reactivate your enthusiasm and chart your next steps forward.

I pray the contents of this book will create life-changing shifts in your life, as it did mine. The stage is set; the rest is now up to you. 

With all my love,

Andrea Nicole McGibbon

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

WRITING A BOOK ABOUT aspects of your life mixed with tips on how to push yourself forward into greatness is a surreal process. It was harder than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.

None of this would have been possible without my ride-or-die mom who is always there with me through my joys, fears, and tears. I could never have done this without your faith, support, and constant encouragement. Thank you for teaching me unconditional love and to believe in myself, God, and my dream.

I want to specially recognise three of my friends who were particularly instrumental and consistent with keeping me in check: Kimberly, Jayshree, and my daughter, Reyhan. Because of your messages, reminders, and encouragement I was able to push through some low moments.

Finally, to all those who have been a part of my journey, be it in a season, for a reason, or for a lifetime, thank you.  And to all the individuals I have had the opportunity to lead, and be led by, I want to say thank you for the inspiration.

To you, the readers, thank you for allowing me into your space. Thanks to the people who share the gift of their time to mentor future leaders and help others become better versions of themselves.

CHAPTER ONE

It Starts with Awareness

SELF-AWARENESS

I think you will agree with me that life often appears like a maze. You have to navigate through a lot of turns and paths, get lost along the way, retrace your steps, find new paths, hit some dead-ends, and retrace your steps yet again. To be fair, there is also quite a bit to guide and help us along the journey, and the more we learn, the more we get better at it. I am in my mid 40s, and I know there is still so much more to figure out, test, let go of and embrace in my life journey. Ironically, that is another beauty of life, the room it gives for continuous variation, adaptation, transformation, experience, learning, and enlightenment. Life is not just a maze but a purposeful maze, a school for each of us to benefit and develop.
