Marios Michail

I was born in 1970 in the occupied by Turks village of Kyra in the Province of Morphou in Cyprus. I currently reside in Avgorou, a village in the free Famagusta Province. I'm married to an adorable wife and I have two wonderful daughters. I've been a military officer since 1994. Studying (Life Coaching) at the EKPA University of Athens, was for me a turning point, making me realize that I had to reassess the priorities of my life. After facing major health issues, the knowledge I received proved to be the best medicine I could have asked for. I feel the need to share what helped me get through the toughest moments of my life with as many people as possible to aid them through their struggles. Finding a purpose and meaning in life is what I strive for and though it has been a difficult journey, I discover a new reason to smile every day. Armed with a deep love for humanity and a burning desire to better things, my goal through my books is to convey that each of us is capable of change, one step at a time. I only hope that some of my words will reach you and make you realize that you are worthy to enjoy the wonderful gift of life. My favorite phrase is: "Live your dream, not the dreams of others."

It is about being fully engaged in the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
