But as someone said earlier, it seems much easier and less risky to change your life when you are young. I want to, and have a strong will and intention to do a big change in my life, but I am 43, a daughter on my own, and struggling to get money at the end of the month. It may take a bit of courage and positive thinking to make a drastic change when your life situation is completely different, don't you think? I really like the way you make things simple and easy to understand, but is it realistic? Does it work for everyone? Maybe I will be able to write to you in two years time saying, wow, I am there, right where I wanted to be, I am happy. Who knows? Meanwhile, reality is sometimes too real to even dare to put into action. Besides as to the wanting, I am afraid!

I think it's a rare privilege to have such experiences in this modern culture. Many of our ancestors had such opportunities, but the world has changed a lot since then. I count it as a personal blessing. Hi Robin, I know that your life included a similar experience. I think it’s a rare privilege to have such experiences in this modern culture.

True success involves every aspect of life. When we experience personal success on a core level, it tends to spread to everything we do. I like to think of success as multidimensional.

The truth is, we can change any aspect of ourselves if (and that's a big if) we learn the right skills. That's why I wrote 7 Simple Steps, because people have not been taught the the skills they really need. That's also why I named this site Advanced Life Skills. It's not because the skills are difficult (they're not), it's simply because they are not being taught.
