Almost all of us feel as though we are falling short of achieving everything we want to and everything we can. Most of us did not even choose the path we currently find ourselves on – we did not choose to work in the career we currently work in and we probably didn’t actively choose where to live either. Or at least that’s how it feels. For the most part, we are therefore often dissatisfied with what our day-to-day lives end up entailing. We end up spending the vast majority of our day working in a job that we’re not particularly passionate or excited about and then we get home so tired and worn out that we can’t do anything exciting or interesting. So we end up just lying in front of the TV, watching junk. Is this really what you want to be the highlight of your day? Is this what you want to spend every day looking forward to? Watching trashy television?? 6 WIRED TO SUCCEED The answer for most of us is of course going to be know. We once dreamed of being rock stars, of being pilots, of being movie stars… maybe you just dreamed of being rich and standing at the top of some high-rise building while you looked down on the city below, wearing your finely tailored suit no doubt… How did it end up so different? How did you find yourself stuck in a dead-end job? Too tired to pursue your dreams? And too beaten down to truly thrive? Well… that would be telling! In the interest of ‘no spoilers’, you’re going to have to keep reading in order to discover just what led you down this path and how you can change your fortunes. But suffice to say that you are in the position you are in because you let yourself get into that position. We really do have a choice when it comes to what we want to do with our lives, how we want to spend our time and who we want to be. If you’re working a job you don’t enjoy, if you’re overweight, if you have never had the chance to see the world… then that is the result of your choices. It just doesn’t always feel that way. The singular purpose of this book then, is to empower you. To give you back the power of your choice and to help you recognize the power that was yours all along (without meaning to sound like an episode of Captain Planet). More than this, we’ll be looking at some concrete and straightforward steps that you can take to begin using your freedom and your power and exercising your will so that you can get the life you’ve always wanted.
