Confidence To Love Your Life

Confidence To Love Your Life is an inspirational tale that reveals how to leave your comfort zone, shatter your self-doubt, and give birth to a more confident you.

In this enlightening story, three friends risk leaving the comfort of their homeland to reach a goal, win the gold, and live the promised happy life.

All believe that reaching their goal will make them successful and happy. They begin their journey with visions of greatness, expecting a quick and easy outcome…

… until an unforeseen challenge appears. Each must face paralyzing fear, emotional turmoil, worry and lame excuses, and feeling victimized by life before gaining the ability to rise up and step into each moment with confidence.

Their journey to reach a goal is a metaphor for what you want to achieve in life – whether it is money, health, weight loss, overcoming addiction, moving beyond depression, or attaining spiritual peace of mind.

The “gold” is where you routinely look for the happiness you want – the end of the goal.

Eventually, one of the characters, Aryan, discovers how to deal with the challenges successfully and experiences a dramatic personal transformation. He discovers exactly how to overcome the roots of fear, self-criticism, and his lack of confidence.

When you travel along with the other two characters, you will recognize that how you typically handle fear, stress, and setbacks actually keeps you trapped in a destructive cycle of doubt and undesirable habits.

As You Travel Along, You Will Gain…

Self-assurance to accept any challenge life brings
Trust in your decisions and actions
Inner courage to do new things
Bold new self-respect
Tremendous confidence to get “on a roll” and stay “on a roll”

Special Bonus!

Experience an empowering 9-step self-confidence building session that will dramatically increase your faith in own abilities.

Discover for yourself precisely how to gain confidence, so that you can shape a new life with less stress and more success.

This Self Confidence book will give you the tools required to easily overcome doubt when it comes to achieving your goals.

Here are just some of the Inspirational Tips revealed in this incredible bonus section…

Know how to “follow your bliss”
Understand what core confidence is and where to find it
How to trust your own abilities
Activate the untapped power of your imagination
How to stop struggling and easily move beyond obstacles
Gain irresistible, effective self-leadership
Move past knowing what to do, but not doing it
Release pent up emotional energy without getting caught in the turmoil
How to gain self-appreciation
Planting the seeds of hope and optimism
Feel tremendous freedom and inner peace

Can you gain confidence?

Absolutely! Confidence is not some mystical trait that some people are born with and others aren’t. Being confident in yourself and your ability to achieve your goals is attainable.

Building confidence is a ongoing process that evolves, grows, and expands as you place your attention on it. It is an ever-expanding realization that you are safe in the world, and that you have the ability to create change in your life.

A Daily Dose of Love: Everyday Inspiration to Help you Remember What Your Heart Already Knows

Have you ever found yourself trapped in your mind trying to figure out a problem or challenge, only to realize later that the wisdom you needed to get through the difficult time wasn’t in your mind, but rather in your heart? If you’re like most people, you occasionally suffer from “amnesia” of the heart… and you’re definitely not alone. It’s part of the human condition to forget that which you already know. Experiencing stressful times can make it even more difficult to access your inner wisdom; and sometimes the daily routine of managing work, life, family, health, relationships, finances, etc., is simply enough to leave you feeling depleted and forgetful of who you truly are and what you know deep inside. In A Daily Dose of Love: Everyday Inspiration to Help You Remember What Your Heart Already Knows, Christine Kloser offers a powerful resource that will help you quickly access the timeless wisdom within. Simply open the book to a “random” page and let the message remind you of what your heart already knows. ======= “My heart and soul are grateful for every word in this delightful book.” Janet “Christine’s ‘Daily Doses of Love’ help me to keep going on those days when I feel like giving up.” Maeve “This is a daily Spiritual Guide for renewal, remembering and awakening to what your Soul knows.” Marilee “Christine’s book of every day inspiration brings you back to the knowing of your heart – where true power lies.” Ruzica “A Daily Dose of Love offers just what you need to center into the truth of the day, of life.” Amy “It’s incredible how each ‘daily dose of love’ is precisely related to what I am experiencing the moment I read them. Well done!” Cali “I enthusiastically recommend ‘A Daily Dose of Love’ to anyone who wants to live a happy, heart-centered and empowered life!” Marcelle “This book contains wonderful thoughts that warm you up and remind you of who you truly are.” Evakarin

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” —Theodore Roosevelt

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Whether the arena is a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts.

In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. The book that Dr. Brown’s many fans have been waiting for, Daring Greatly will spark a new spirit of truth—and trust—in our organizations, families, schools, and communities.
