Preface
What if you could retain your sense of self, your sense of equilibrium, even in the face of life’s most difficult and painful lessons? What if you could let go of what others think about you, your actions, and your choices, thereby reclaiming your personal power? Instead of being consumed by your problems and emotions, what if you could respond to them with grace and ease? What if you could connect to your deepest wisdom to feel safe and secure, regardless of circumstance? Imagine if you could do all that and still retain an open heart!
The truth is that you can! You have all the resources you need right inside yourself; you just have to learn how to tap into them.
The words "What I Know to Be True" offer freedom from the perceived chaos, unhappiness and lack of control in your life, to a sense of internal balance and harmony, whatever storm is raging on the surface.
That’s a bold statement, for sure. How can six simple words offer such a big promise? We wouldn’t have believed it either, if we hadn’t experienced the remarkable benefits firsthand.
What I Know to Be True is a book, a practice, a way of life. It is the key for you to connect to the Truth–or knowing–that resides deep within each of you and acts as your personal GPS for how to live with greater ease. You will learn to know your Truth, trust that you can depend on it, and use it as a guide to live by.
You are the gateway, What I Know to Be True is the key.
