Others describe you as capable, confident, and successful. You make things happen and work hard to have it all and be it all to everyone. You rationalize, compromise, and make do, get by, and tell yourself you should be happy. You are doing a pretty good job living a life others define as successful. You have learned to please others, prove your worthiness, and polish your outer appearance. You don the facade of appearance and judge your success and the success of others based on the norms you have been socialized with from others as you participate in this big masquerade ball of life. The years pass and the behaviors you exhibit don't necessarily embody the person you want to be. You are too tired and overwhelmed to listen to that little voice inside of you that tells you that something is off. That familiar voice that knows you more than you know yourself-the one that tries hard to communicate with you about what is really important to you. You are just so caught up in the doing. Day-to day routines and dramas consume you. You lose sight of how much bigger you are. When you feel stuck or fixed in your ways, reinvention seems unimaginable, even unattainable. But what if you could define your life to be more fluid, curious, and exuberant? What if you were gently led through activities of introspection and empowerment in the setting of your choice, without an audience or need for any preparation? Deep, impactful change toward the breath of new life. Ultimate alignment of heart, mind, soul. It sounds breathtaking, doesn't it? Your guided journey in this book will prompt you to let go of incessant pleasing, proving, and polishing. You will integrate the voice of your inner wise woman into a declaration of who you are, what you believe, and what you are committed to. The personal manifesto you will create here is a decision-making and alignment tool for the actions of not the person you are now-but of the person you are becoming. You will commit to live and lead with LESS EGO and MORE SOUL.
