The Journey Of Self Discovery

The foundation of emotional intelligence is self- awareness. How do you learn to become more self-aware? The Journey Called YOU takes the reader on a journey into the world of self-awareness and self-wonder. It shows you how to discover yourself, to know yourself better, to accept yourself without judgment, and to make decisions that honor the highest form of you. In the end you feel more confident and grounded in yourself enabling you to be more authentic, manage yourself and your emotions more effectively, and lead others more assertively. There is as much to wonder about within you as there is in the world outside of you. Most of us look outside ourselves to find the answers. We look for pleasure in chasing goals and trying to accumulate stuff under the illusion that collecting things is what life is all about. We spend our time either berating and harshly judging ourselves or comparing ourselves to others to determine our successfulness based on some predetermined idea of what success is supposed to look like without really considering our own answers. In this book, you will learn how to discover your true nature and unleash the greatness within you. You will learn how to release yourself from the limiting beliefs and obstacles that hold you back from being all that is possible for you to become. You will learn how to create a vision for success and liberate yourself from the rules imposed by society and others so that you can make your own rules about how to live your life. And you will learn how to be authentically you, how to come to a place where you feel grounded in being you so that you feel comfortable in your own skin. You feel good about being you, you enjoy your life, and feel confident about the choices you make. As you increase your self-awareness, you access the power of choice and are better able to manage yourself and effectively lead others. This book shows you how to live a life that empowers you to be who you really are. A mixture of teaching tales, coaching tips, journaling exercises, and narrative divided into eight chapters, this eloquently written, easy-to-read book is designed to help you understand and accept yourself so you can make decisions every day that move you closer to the happy and fulfilled life you desire. You will learn how to use your personal power to free yourself to be you. After all, as Julie points out, "You are the most important person in your life! Without you, what do you have?"

Self-discovery begins with desiredesire to understand more about what makes us tick, to break from routine, to heal a hurt, to express ourselves in new ways, to explore our hopes and dreams. Identifying the objects of our desire is important, since our focus has great impact on our attitude and self-awareness, which in turn are directly related to our happiness. In The Me Book: A Journey of Self-Discovery, author, healer, and life coach Jane Marin shows us how to use the combined art forms of journaling, painting, scrapbooking and collage to increase self-knowledge and self-confidence and improve our lives on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Marin developed the idea of The Me Book while researching her familys history and coming to the realisation of how rewarding it was to discover more about her history and record her own life as well. She realised that using creativity in expressing herself was therapeutic and healing, bringing forth all her positive energies. Marin unearthed the history of the real her, which gave way to life changes both large and small, changes that immediately increased her self-esteem, her health and her perception of her lifes purpose. These are changes any of us can make. All we need are the motivation to begin the journey and the desire to create something truly worthwhilesomething like our own true life.

"The Buddha never compelled anybody to have blind faith in Him. He just exhorted us to depend on our own wisdom. It is not because we are born as humans that we become wise or foolish. It is because we can bring our defilements under control that we become wise, and it is because we can’t bring our defilements under control that we become foolish. We all have both good and bad qualities. Snakes, chickens, and pigs are not created for you to eat. It is in such existences that you yourself have been born before. We can’t harm anybody without harming ourselves. We can’t disturb others without disturbing ourselves. Patience means accepting. Very beautiful! Accepting both the desirable and the undesirable is the perfection of patience. You make friends with the defilements all the time, but the defilements never treat you as a friend in return. They treat you as an enemy. The Buddha never says, 'Come and believe'. He says, ‘Come and see; the wise can know, the wise can see’. ‘One who sees the Dhamma, sees me. One who sees me, sees the Dhamma’." [From a book published by Pa-Auk Meditation Centre, a Centre of Theravāda Buddhist Tradition]
