Live Better from the Inside Out

By John Hitchcock

"Live Better from the Inside Out" is an intense look at the mental, emotional and spiritual battles in the author's life. Inferiority feelings did constant battle with an exterior life that kept the internal terror well-hidden.
Seen from the outside, John's life was filled with peace and activity; hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, golf, bowling, amateur radio, reading... all activities were enjoyed fully and no sense of the awful feelings he felt when alone with his thoughts. Living in a home with great parents only enhanced the apparent well-being of the author. Even during the activities done alone (reading, amateur radio, hunting) he lost himself in the positive aspects of whatever was happening.
Then came those demanding thoughts which produced the enigma of the external and the deep-down inner self. He struggled with self-doubt, massive inferiority and thoughts of his total "alone-ness" in the world.
Over a period of time yet culminating in a moment of miracle, John's spirit learned to accept the fullness and completeness of God into his life. From that time till the present he has understood how to live with the freedom of expression, removing all hindering thoughts. The thoughts and ideas expressed in "Live Better from the Inside Out" are a compilation of the many concepts inherent in all of our lives that keep us in bondage to full freedom.

My Story

Introduction

Life isn't always easy.

Sometimes we feel trapped, even out of control.

Stuff happens, and is hard to deal with or even comprehend. When our life seems out of control or spiraling downwards, we have this internal feeling that we should be able to overcome, or at least cope with, the travail that troubles us.

Even though we think we should be able to beat our problems, we often have something that prevents us from learning how to live a better life.

If that is how you feel, you are not alone. Many people feel the same inner turmoil that might be consuming your life, but somehow they seem to be handling their problems differently and successfully.

There is no magic bullet to fix all our problems. There might not be a magic bullet, but there are fundamental principles that can enable us to put our difficulties in perspective and live a better life starting today.

Read on and discover these principles and how to bring them to reality in your life.

Define Yourself

It takes courage to grow up

and become who you really are. 

e.e. cummings

You are not defined by what goes in, but what comes out.

Obviously, our thinking can be affected by the multitude of signals that enter
