INTRODUCTION

Imagine for a moment that you are able to live


a life in which you have everything you have always
wanted. A life in which every morning when you wake
up you feel a tremendous urge to leap out of bed and
get on with doing everything that you plan to do with
your day, because it fills you with excitement, passion
and motivation. A life where there are no worries, stress
or obligations. A life that fills you with energy, one that
makes you feel more alive, more capable and happier day
after day, because you have perfected the art of making
smart decisions that are in line with who you are and
what your purpose is here on Earth. A life where you feel
everything happens exactly as it should.
Imagine feeling such self-confidence that you
are able to achieve everything that you set your mind
to, including your most fantastic dreams. Imagine that
you are capable of achieving this with the tools that you
already have within you.
It may seem impossible to achieve, but it is not.
And the best news of all is that you can do it by simply
being true to who you are inside, and I mean your real
internal and most pure “I”, not the “I” imposed on you
externally by the roles that you play within society.

INTRODUCTION

Normally, when we define ourselves, we use our


name, where we live, what we do, our character traits,
etcetera. However, this definition of who we are is a
definition that simply focuses on the superficial aspects
of our being. Going beyond that and defining ourselves
at a much deeper level; really understanding who and
what we are is a much more complex task.
This internal discovery is what I propose in this
book. And how by taking responsibility for your thoughts,
emotions and actions, you can shape the life that you
have always wanted.
If you are prepared to live a life of passion and
purpose, then you are in the right place. I feel honored
that you have decided to read these pages and let me
help you on this journey of self-discovery in which I
am going to share my most inner experiences and the
things I have learned which have helped me understand
life from a much broader and liberating perspective. I
hope that these pages you are about to read contain
the small treasures that revive the flame of your real self
within you.
Let us begin.

WHO YOU ARE

Who am I? All of us at some point in our lives ask


ourselves this question seeking a much deeper meaning
in the answer than simply our name, surname, where we
were born, where we live, what we do, etcetera.
And in spite of being what seems to be a very
simple question, in reality it is very complex to answer, and
very often -especially if you have never really stopped to
think deeply about it- we go straight to the obvious and
respond according to the established social parameters.
Normally, this definition that we create of ourselves
is usually an external definition of ourselves, in other
words, a definition that others have created for us based
on what they think, value and see in us. And it is based
on this external definition that we gradually believe our
internal concept of who we are and what our position in
this world is.
This is what we learn from the moment we are
able to think for ourselves and begin to understand the
world around us. From the first time, at the age of around

Discovering the reason why you are here, who you


really are and what your infinite potential is, is a process of
awakening. It is a process that involves gradually chipping
away at those layers of clay, like in the story of the Golden
Buddha, to discover the Inner self that is hidden in the
deepest part of each one of us and which is excited
about getting out and enjoying life in its most pure and
true form.
The awakening process is something marvelous,
but it is also a long and painful path on many occasions
because it means having to face the fears, wounds,
frustrations, and so on, that you have been hiding within
yourself, denying and even ignoring them.

YOUR INTERNAL
RESPONSIBILITY

In order to reach the point of co-creation with


the universe, attracting the opportunities, people and
situations that you really want into your life, it is necessary
to realign your internal world with the pure energy of
creation. To do so, everything begins by learning to
love yourself and accepting yourself internally, just
the way you are, defects and all.
It is important to do this deep internal exercise
to prevent the subconscious blockages of the patterns
acquired throughout your life from continuing to
interfere between what your life is now and how you
see yourself, and the life that you really want to have
and the version of yourself that you want to become.
Many people spend years of their lives repeating
affirmations to themselves and trying to have positive
thoughts every day, but even so, they continue to be
trapped in the same old downward spirals without

AND YOUR
PHYSICAL
WELL-BEING

Your body is the physical part of your being designed


to experience the world through our senses, feelings and
emotions. Your body allows you to live within this physical
dimension of reality and it is directly connected to your
mind and soul. So much so, that having a healthy body
to a large extent depends on your state of mind and that
of your soul, and vice versa.
To attain the highest possible state of well-
being, you need to achieve consistency and balance
between your body, mind and soul. When this occurs

healthier. The same happens with exercise and physical

CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING THE LIFE YO U HAVE
ALWAYS WANTED FULL OF PASSION AND PURPOSE?
We tend to think that the perfect life does not exist and we assume that it is
a complicated path full of unexpected moments that prevent us from being
able to take control. We tend to think that our dreams are just that, dreams,
and we get used to walking through life knowing that what we would have
really liked to achieve is not possible, because somehow, we are victims
of life.
Without realizing it, by doing this, you empower your environment and ex-
ternal circumstances to decide for you. You forget that in reality You are
already everything you need to live a life in which you feel truly fulfilled and
happy. You just need to remember it and take control.
You are already everything you need invites you set out on this path of
self-discovery and continuous awakening through techniques, examples
and exercises that will guide you on this journey towards a life that is perfect
for you. A life in total harmony with your deepest desires and that energizes
and thrills you day in and day out.
