CHAPTER 1
Here We Go!
The club is pumping tonight. Bodies are moving spasmodic to the loud music and pulsating base. The smell of smoke, sweat, and wet soil from the outside rain brings back past memories of fun and joy.
I can feel the rhythm of the music vibrating through my clothing and it thrills me. The joyful shouting and chanting from the crowd in front of me is energising and fun to watch. Every beat changing the dance floor continuously with convulsing colourful bodies as lights and lasers decorate the darkness in flare and in tune to the loud music. This is truly an experience to enjoy.
But then I notice the crowd dancing in front of me, the people moving around me. I don't mean just seeing them and how they dance, smile, and move. I mean really notice them. The way they look at each other to find acceptance, the constant analysis of everyone dancing around them, and the longing most have for attention.
I find myself looking at their eyes and body language while they dance and interact. I start seeing the fake and momentary joy as they all seem to find courage in the alcohol they consume and people they surround themselves with. I see men hunting for beautiful and vulnerable girls and girls trying to show off themselves in seeking attention.
I see sadness and longing and hidden pain and rejection. I see false pride and neglect. There is a lot of longing for attention and protection, especially from the ladies. I see men disrespecting men and ladies. I see aggression, selfishness, and isolation. It saddens me.
It all seems to come clear that most of the people here are looking for temporary or long-term security, acceptance, or pleasure in people that seem to be just as lost as they are. Guys that use drugs to make themselves look bigger and more muscular, girls that dress in as little clothes as possible, guys and girls that are fit and well built, guys and girls that are obese or very overweight, clean people, dirty people, intoxicated people, well-dressed or poorly dressed people, and everyone in between all have one thing in common: trying to find who they are and obtain some value in people who are looking for the same thing.
As I stand there looking at all these weird and wonderful people each caught up in their own little world of the here and now, I realise a very simple truth once again. I realise that there are so many people in this world who are going to wake up tomorrow with the same question that they went to bed with the previous day.
In this place, the music is nice, the people are nice, the energy is nice, and momentary short-lived joy is great. But in waking up the next morning, will your life be different, changed, improved, or more exciting?
Maybe ...
Maybe you met this one person who changes your life for the better or worse. Or maybe something happens that opens your eyes or cripples you forever. Maybe we walk out of this club and someone decides to bless us with a fortune of happiness and joy.
Whatever happens or might happen and whatever the consequences of this night, the one thing that alters the outcome and changes the odds in your favour is the one thing that I realised not many in the club understands or knows. It's the one question that changes lives, households, communities, and countries. It's the answer to the question that everyone is asking themselves every day and most are looking for in the wrong places. This answer is the Holy Grail of all you can be and is destined for.
And the question that you need to an answer too is the one that made you curious about this book. You know it ...
Who am I?
CHAPTER 2
Who Am I?
In the recesses of what we call our individuality, there is a lingering longing to be accepted, to be adored, to be loved. Deep inside us is a realisation that we are worth something and that we are special and unique, that there is a reason that we are here. In the deep recesses of our mind is a deep longing to know who we are and what we are worth. It's what drives us to do the things we do and make the choices we do. It's what guides us on how to treat others or where we end up in life.
It is the single biggest driving force of you as an individual, and it is the central most important aspect of your individuality. In the end, it comes down to the one question that you not only ask yourself daily but that the others around you ask themselves about you as well ... that single question that pulsates through our reality and that governs our interaction is the one question that more than the majority population does not know the answer too ... that one question is 'Who am I?'
But then, it's not that simple, is it? How can I make a statement like that?
Well if you provide me with your time I would love to explore this statement with you and in doing so possibly empower you with the knowledge to take your life and understanding thereof to the next level. After all, knowing who you are and what your capabilities are will in essence enable you to tap into the very energy that creates success in faith, business, relationships, and life in general. If I ask the right questions and provide the right mental directionality of the answer to the question, would you want to be in a position to answer it?
We are all the authors of the rest of our lives, based on the truths we choose to follow and the risks we decide to take. Very few are in a position where success is given to them, and even then only time tells of whether or not they stayed successful in the major aspects of their life. If you look at how many seemingly successful artists and actors fall from fame through drugs, relationships that fall apart, health that deteriorates, and the total destruction of so many lives irrespective of their money and fame, only one question remains ... Who were they really?
So where are you currently in your path to the rest of your life? What are your goals and your vision for your future? What do you base your expectations and visions on? How are you limiting your future by your thoughts and negative views? Has others restricted your views and expectations by their negativity and influence? Are you where you want to be? Who are you?
Please follow me down this journey to unlocking the truths that govern our reality and how you can rise beyond your current circumstances and reality. Allow me to show you how you are...
