'It's not what happens to you that defines your life, but how you react to it that matters.' Epictetus
Let me take you to the end of this book. Who you are, here at the start, will no longer exist. You can try and cheat, flick through to the end, skim it, but you'll still be here, back where you started. I'm Stevie Kidd and this is the book you never knew was for you. Until now. My own journey through the twelve steps is here in black and white. A life lived in ten-year chunks, refined by reinvention. By reading every chapter and undertaking the exercises at the end of each chapter, you will rise to self- discover how far you can actually grow. Live your Pathway. Be in a position to understand how far you can take yourself with a 1% mindset. I'll be by your side.
So, let's start by getting you to sit quietly and ask yourself these questions:
• Who are you? • What do you want? • How will you know that you have got what you want? • Question to ask yourself right now? • Are you happy? • What IS happiness to you? • Does knowing who you are, create happiness? • What do you now know about yourself?
Two choices of how you live your life
Pinnacle Moment: I'm 12 years old - ahead of me are two lanes of a 400m running track. One lane is I run my lifeline and live my life how it's being conditioned for me to live. At the finishing line, I die a miserable death.
or
I choose to run the other lane. In this lane, when I get to the finishing line of death, I see myself sliding into my grave with a smile on my face saying, 'what an adventure!' It's like a Harrison Ford movie. Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I choose stillness, I choose to listen to my whisper, I choose to create, I choose to Innovate. What do you choose?
