Dear Reader…
I hid in
the school library again today. This is my safe place. The world around me is
so cold and full of people who judge me and make me feel inferior. All the
other kids have better parents, better lives, better friends, better clothes,
better everything. I have nothing. I don’t fit in anywhere. Not at home. Not at
school. Not anywhere. Life is miserable and so unfair!
The anger
inside me boils. It’s fiery hot, so hot, that when it explodes, I am completely
powerless against it. I don’t like being this way. This is not who I am. I
don’t like violence or the pain it causes, but I am helpless. I have no power
when my mind takes over. I’m at the mercy of my anger and the damage that my
anger causes. It doesn’t matter if they were the perpetrators making me
feel bad or an innocent bystander, when the anger erupts, the evil inside of me
takes over. There’s nothing I can do but look back at my path of destruction
with horror, regret, and sorrow. That is why I’m hiding from the world again.
This is the only way I know how to quiet the anger.
That was
me in my high school days and those were my beliefs. I truly felt as
though the world was against me and every one of my actions were judged and
criticized. I hated my life. I hated the world. I hated myself. Because I
couldn’t see the goodness within me, I couldn’t see the goodness within others.
Through a
lot of healing work and mindset training, I learned that all the judgments I
felt from others were really judgments I held against myself. These were my own
insecurities and self-doubts projected outward at others, so I have someone
else to blame. I wasn’t strong enough then, nor did I know, that if I took
control of my thoughts and feelings, I could change EVERYTHING about my life.
I wrote
this book for you and all the teens out there who have ever felt like I did—
sad, hurt, scared, isolated, angry, overwhelmed, different, helpless.
Once you understand the power of your thoughts and how to control them -
you will have the power to change your life.
Imagine
being able to stay calm and in control regardless of how chaotic your life
might feel. How about being able to stop the worries and negative chatter in
your mind to calmly go after what you want? What would you be able to do? How
would your life be better?
Through
my difficult and often painful journey into adulthood, I learned a very simple
truth, “change your thoughts, change your life.” I hope this book gives you a
good understanding of how your thoughts create your reality, and how much power
you truly do have. The power to create the life you want and deserve is in your
hands! Use it wisely.
Love,
Jacqui
