Acknowledgments

First and foremost thankyou to my wife Catherine for your support throughout my life. You have always given me the space to enable my personal and spiritual growth and make the manifestation of this book possible.

Thank you to my friend (who to prefers to remain anonymous) for your time, patience and kindness while editing my book. You remained objective and non-judgemental throughout the whole process and for that I am eternally grateful.

Finally I would like to thank the people in my life that have bullied, intimidated or demeaned me. Without those teachers in my life I would not have built the resilience and courage required to give life the virtual middle finger and do it anyway.

Foreword

Human beings are an incredible species as we have the ability to reinvent ourselves as many times as we like. However in the process of transformation humans create virtual obstacles that prevent some from achieving their goals. In this book we explore strategies to differentiate between virtual and real obstacles. We will go on a journey of self-discovery with self-actualisation being our ultimate goal.

Stephen Covey (author) explains that we live in two virtual worlds when making decisions, the inner and outer circles of control.¹ Everything within the inner circle we can directly control by our decisions and actions. The outer circle we can influence however cannot control due to the factors external to us. Being aware of our inner circle and achieving balance within it will set you free.

We are all born free to be, do or have anything that is achievable considering your level of awareness, knowledge, physicality and intelligence. Yes free to choose the way you live your life, the work you do and the material things you acquire. The limiting factors include the laws of the land and most importantly the virtual limits you place on yourself. These virtual limits are usually the major hurdles that prevent a person from making life changing decisions.

Be aware that we are born with the ability to make choices therefore the ability to make decisions is innate. If we made no decisions in life we would atrophy
