Chapter 1: Introduction

The author says, “Do you want to know who I am? Let me tell you my story.” My name is Alexander-Jordan and I am a first generation Bulgarian-American that was born and raised in the beautiful golden state of California. The land of beaches and bridges; mountains and deserts! No matter where I go, this will always be my home and nothing comes close. The purpose of this book is to share my wisdom and experiences. Through education, compassion and kindness can the world become a better place. The pain and suffering endured through these experiences has molded my character into a humble person. It is often necessary to learn to listen rather than to speak. That is how the greatest stories of all human history have been passed down. There are many things in my life that have been destroyed by others who are full of selfishness and greed.

Throughout life, two people in this world have motivated me to share the story with the world; my mentor and my favorite person. Without them I would lack the energy needed to explain the journey. Helping people has always been a specialty of mine. Enjoying the ability to offer assistance to people who struggle in life brings the author joy. Changing the trajectory of their course has always been a pleasurable feeling. Money is no object; when friendship is the goal! There were times where the author felt hopelessness and the world was against him. He couldn’t stop thinking about ending the pain that came with each and every day. Something inside the author spoke one day saying, “do not give up!” That is when he began to work on his health. It started with great food, exercise and fresh air.

Creating excuses is easy, but pushing yourself towards the goals you desire to achieve is difficult. Reaching your potential is one of the most challenging aspects of life. Each chapter will have the keys to success. Whether they work or not is up to the individual who chooses what they desire to accomplish. In this story, you can be the hero or the villain. There is also another force at play; one we call the spectator. The person who watches the story develop and evolve in the moment. The brain is more valuable than gold so use it wisely! Most people lack the energy needed to fully unlock its capabilities. Depression will drain you of purpose and motivation in life. Some characters choose to stay in the storm, while others push through to see the rainbow on the other side.

Surround yourself with amazing friends and always push each other beyond the limits. Learning how to meditate and reach complete peace of mind is one of the most powerful things the human mind is capable of achieving. Such as beginning to clear your thoughts of all negative energy through breathing exercises. Each chapter will describe how to complete all the necessary things the author believes will lead to a good life. Meditation helps you master your mental focus through certain exercises such as breathing, stretching and relaxing. Yoga is a form of meditation where a person moves their body in specific postures to achieve ultimate relaxation.

There is power in words that can be positive or negative based on the tone of voice projected by the character. Every person has a shadow and persona. The real question is which one do you show the world? Carl Jung pioneered the terms for shadow and persona relating to the fact one is hidden expression while the other is a public appearance. Neither are good or bad, but both are similar to how a character portrays himself in the universe. What you choose to show the world is ultimately up to you as the character of the story. Nobody needs to know the truth, but yourself. Share what you find important, but remember you are not obligated to give any information. The mouth chooses to speak and the voice is the reason it speaks!

Priorities should always come first, then everything else should be considered secondary. Otherwise, you will fall behind and struggle maintaining your objective. There are types of people who let addiction control and destroy their lives. The people you surround yourself with are the people you become. There is no need to impress anyone, but yourself! Work with what you have and build towards what you want. Stop saying and start doing! The time is now!

Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Join me if you dare and continue on because I am going to take you on a ride of a lifetime. Prepare for greatness and the ability to achieve what most people will not in a single life. If you are not ready, then stop here and come back when you have the time to read my story. It is all up to you as the reader to go forward, but beware when I say I warned you. This knowledge is not made for everyone in this universe. It was made for a certain type of person who was willing to go all the way through the chapters of life. Seek the truth and the doors shall open unto you! Find my secrets and let them be known!

Chapter 2: Trust and Friendships

The reason for trust and friendships is simple; there are specific people in life that you want to surround yourself with that will help you grow positively and exponentially. Not everyone you meet in life is trustworthy. Many people will be your friend, but not support you when a time of crisis presents itself and there are certain risks involved. We all have one friend we can call in case of emergency. Keep those people close, but do not always rely on them because help is temporary; otherwise you will become dependent on that person. Learn to become independent and free from all forms of traps and binds designed by society to keep you in one place. The author had to grow up quickly when his parents passed away at a young age. Both within a year apart from each other. People change when their priorities are different from your own. When the author experienced this tragedy it made him realize that it is time to grow up. One day there will be no one else to help the character. Everything you worked up for will now decide where the character ends up. Some people in this story get lost, stuck, hurt, broken, or even worse they don’t come home to their families, but you have endured and found my story. There is hope in this story, but you must find it before it is too late. Many characters have regrets before their time ends.

There are people in this world who will only use you for their own gains. Those people take advantage of the weaknesses humans possess. Playing with a person’s emotions or feelings is wrong when they are in vulnerable positions. Humans must learn to think logically and realistically to prevent manipulation from other individuals. Do not believe everything you hear from another person; some people purposely deceive while others intend to teach with reason. There are liars, cheaters and even those who steal just because the opportunity presented itself and the character saw it as an easy way out. When you notice red flags in other characters behavior begin to isolate or distance yourself from their vibrational energies. Look out for yourself and the well being of the character. Happiness is your priority and no one else should interfere with that experience. There is no point in having unhealthy relationships or friendships with people who do not respect your boundaries. Energy is contagious and can affect the mentality in a crowd of people. Be careful who you choose to share the time and energy of your character.

Oftentimes, people become comfortable with friends or family. Be the one to speak up when you feel different; just do not come off as demanding or full of entitlement. Characters prefer guidance and suggestions over commands. Alan Watts once said, “thinking is like a good servant, but a bad master.” There are people who do not give others second chances in life.
