Chapter One
You have it ALL ... inside of you
No one in this world is better endowed than you when it borders on achieving set dreams, goals and/or objectives. It all boils down to your willingness to discover the Victor in you because every one of us has "it" in them ..., their very own Victor, buried in a debris of stale dust and grime, within the deepest recesses of their being; waiting and pleading that it be unleashed before it is time for the owner housing it to make that momentary exit to the next exciting phase of our journey.
Do you know that within you, right now, resides everything that you need to create an extraordinary life? Do you know that our number one hindrance to unleashing our Victors and living the magnificent lives that we each were meant to live is our doubts and lack of faith that would continually cripple us? Do you also know that our inability to apply or our misapplication of the most timeless, powerful and positive natural laws has kept us dormant, stagnant and static for years?
A lot of us are still trapped in our cocoon but will eventually emerge into the beautiful butterflies that we were meant to be by awakening and unleashing the Victors in us. I am guessing that for you to pick up this book, you must have decided that you do not want to be in a cocoon anymore. It is a major positive and commendable affirmative step in the right direction. This book will give you helpful tips on how to awaken and unleash the Victor in you and step out of that cocoon, and hopefully emerge into that beautiful butterfly we were all meant to be! You will learn how to take charge of every facet of your life!
Around 2007, it also dawned on me that a cocoon is the last place in the world that I'd want to be. Sometimes life does in fact feel like a cocoon; dark, stifling and suffocating! Ouch! Oh no, life is not meant to feel that way at all! Life is meant to be beautiful, and exciting and amazing! We are meant to shine that internal light that each of us possess outwards into the world and illuminate other people's life as much as we can, and in the process illuminate ours too. The more we deviate from the path of unleashing, the more that light dims and over time, a thick cloud of darkness overtakes our whole being and we fail to even believe, recognize or acknowledge that we harbor such light in the first place. We enter into an era of doom, gloom, mistakes, and regrets. Over the course of our lives, we have seen people who light their candles before us to help us and others see our own paths better because of their lights. They made our lives a lot richer and better. It is our time to now make others' live much richer, better and more fulfilled lives by lighting our own candles.
I have never been happier or as peaceful and as content as I have been in the past couple of years! I have been unable to stop myself from smiling and would not even be conscious of it until I am reminded that I am smiling with the question, "why are you always happy" or like my children will say, "Mommy, stop smiling we already know you are happy". I have not always been this happy but life generally had been a series of roller-coaster rides. This was before I realized that I had to take my life off the "auto pilot mode" that had been my default mode for as long as I can remember and begin to painstakingly apply a set of rules in order to awaken and unleash the Victor within me.
Poor me, like a lot of people that I know, I was pretty much just reacting to life. I was merely sitting down and being driven along and responding in ways that I knew best to events, people and circumstances that I encountered. Those years were my lost years. The yellow and red lights that I encountered while in transit were all constantly alerting me that I needed to make a detour. I needed to awaken and unleash the Victor in me! The head-on collision and the precise moment that stirred this curiosity in me finally came when I realized that nothing in my life was a chance occurrence. I had been consciously and unconsciously inviting every single event, person and circumstance that came into my life! Legitimate visitors simply honoring my invite!
I believed that I was living my life ... My life? Have I really been living my life? What does really living my life entail? I really need to ask you one important question before you continue reading, pause and think carefully about this question before attempting to proffer an answer. "Whose life are you living now?" Is it yours or is it someone else's? If your answer is that it is in fact your life, further ask yourself like I did back in 2007 whether you have been really living your life or merely going through the motions and reacting to what gets tossed your way?. If it is really your life, then you must step into that life today and for probably the very first time, announce your presence in it! You must immerse yourself completely into it; you must live it to its fullest potential; you must celebrate it as much as you can. You must be ready to be brazen with your dreams, whatever they might be! Make it really BIG and BOLD because the universe is in fact bigger and so much bolder than any dream you've ever had!
Have you ever taken out time to look around you? Perhaps you've gone to a beach, or in the woods or a remote place where you are all alone and dared to take a good look at the size of this universe? The sheer size of the people in the universe; the land mass, the bodies of water, the continents, the celestial bodies? When you are done taking in the sheer vastness and magnitude of what you are beholding, then it's time to really be honest in...
