Overcome self doubt and self sabotage without positive thinking or motivation.

Have you ever felt like something was POSSIBLE for everyone else, but IMPOSSIBLE for you?

That changes today. Enter 15 universally applicable life principles that will make you rethink what you’re capable of, and encourage and equip you to go after your dreams, whatever they may be!

THE WHY

I was closer to 30 than I was to 20…

I was approaching that age where society will convince you it’s all about to go downhill and your best years are behind you. The stagnation of my life was starting to convince me that that was true.

I started to rethink all my life decisions, look with guilt at the things I still hadn’t accomplished, look with envy at the things other people had accomplished, and evaluate where my life was headed. I felt stuck in every way. And I didn’t like it.

I started to ask myself questions like…

• If not now, when?

• If I continue on the same path I’m on now, what will my existence be like in the future?

• What might my life look like if I challenged my limits, tried new things, and made different choices?

After a tough breakup and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines watching other people travel internationally, I finally left the country for the first time. As someone who grew up surrounded by people with far more financial means than me, traveling internationally was a pipe dream–it was something for them and not for me.

But when I finally managed to get my very first passport stamp (shoutout to Iceland!), that experience opened up my world literally in a way that I never imagined possible, and caused me to also question if I could open my world mentally in a way that I never imagined possible.

I started to consider what other limits I had placed on myself and reinforced all my life, that I could shatter and prove to not be real or true.

That’s when I decided to tackle the impossible: learning how to swim.

I couldn’t swim a lap-no, not a single stroke-without sinking to the bottom. Literally. My movement in the water was exceedingly laborious. I was alarmingly weak. I had the buoyancy of an anchor. It was painful (or perhaps to some, entertaining) to witness. I was pathetic. 110% inept. And it had been that way since I was a child. All attempts (of which there were many) at learning to swim had failed spectacularly up to this point.

It was impossible.

Until one day I decided it was no longer going to be.

Fast forward to now, and I’ve completed three triathlons, swam a mile in the Hudson River (twice), earned four scuba diving certifications, and have used said certifications to go scuba diving dozens of times in six different countries.

I've fallen in love with the thing I once thought impossible, and in doing so, it opened up a whole new world (*Cue Aladdin*) of other remarkable things for me to fall in love with.

I made my impossible, possible, and you can too.

Finally learning how to swim as an adult transformed my life for the better in so many unimaginable ways that had a positive ripple effect into every part of my life.

As part of the process of overcoming this personal challenge, I discovered 15 universally applicable principles that can be applied to all of life’s challenges. And I wanted to record them as a handbook to refer back to whenever I’m facing a new challenge that I can’t see a way through. It's a timeless playbook for life.

These principles formed the groundwork for the mindset that would later allow me to:

• confidently walk away from 9-5 corporate life
• book a one way ticket to Thailand
• go all in on making money online
• terminate my apartment lease
  
• sell my car and belongings
• travel the world solo

That’s why I wrote this book.

There is something you have been wanting to do that you think is impossible. You see other people do it with ease, but it has been a struggle for you, and you have convinced yourself that you will never be able to do it. But if you do, it would change your life. It would change the way you see yourself, and open up possibilities and opportunities you can’t even imagine.

THERE IS A VOICE IN YOUR HEAD, SAYING LYING TO YOU…

• "Other people can do it, but I can’t"
• "It’s too late"
• "It’s impossible"
• "I don’t have enough time, money, energy, talent, [FILL IN THE BLANK]"

BUT WITH THE PRINCIPLES IN THIS BOOK, YOU WILL…

• overcome the mental obstacles that have been holding you back
• shift your mindset to prime yourself for success
• tap into the power lying dormant within you
• believe in yourself again
• change your life

It’s never too late, fear is an illusion, & just because something was a truth of your past doesn’t mean it has to keep you from your future.
