Introduction

Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.

SAMUEL JOHNSON

1709–1784

THIS BOOK is an A–Z of experiences. Its aim is to help people with various aspects of their lives, to strengthen character and balance temperament. It can be dipped into again and again, whenever the appropriate help is needed. But the magic of this book will only be revealed when you have read every word.

Each word opens with a classic quotation to demonstrate that, although the world changes around us, human beings never change. We experience thoughts and emotions the same as people did centuries ago, and we still have the same problems. You may find that the quotation alone carries the age-old wisdom you seek.

Following a short insight from me, each key word also has a visualisation and an affirmation. The visualisation is short so that you can ‘live’ it as you read it. It is a trigger for the imagination and the self-healing process. See it in your mind, picture it from beginning to end, and you will find where the main problem lies. Then you can make the right decisions and change your life. If a particular visualisation does not in any way apply to your circumstances, you can modify it or create your own – that is why I have called the book A Mind of Your Own.

Many people believe that they cannot visualise, but if you ask them to remember a person or place that has been special to them, the pictures and feelings flow. Remember, the blockage is within you. Take your key and unlock the doors of your mind – you will be amazed at what you find.

Finally, you will find an affirmation at the end of each word to take with you when you close the book. It is the key to the rest of your life.

This is a book of life. In it you will find every emotion. You will laugh, you will cry, but you will never be bored. Enjoy!
