You were very patient with me in the first chapter of this book. With your cooperation and willingness, I evoked an emotion in you: Question the status quo.

Let me portray this for you. You probably do the same things every day: Wake up, wash your face, brush, shower, eat breakfast, go to work, work,lunch, work, return home, rest, watch TV or excise or socialize, sleep and the same cycle continues.

This is called LIFE ON AUTOPILOT.

You do this because you feel like you have to do this. You are destined to think that life looks like this. You might have questioned this life may be at the beginning when you graduated college but now you are so used to life being this way that you don’t even question it anymore.

So, when I asked you in last chapter:

How do you feel about your life?

It felt like a below to your ribs. It felt like a very poignant question.

Remember how we all have an urge to rush to thinking: “Oh, I should be very thankful: husband, kids, wife, a good job, and yes, I have nothing to complain about.”

Do you remember how your brain jumped so fast on this sentence that did not even let you feel: Are you really content?

Some of you are so afraid of even asking this question. You are afraid that you might jinx all that you have always dreamed of and you have gained. May be even it is not what you wanted but the society, parents, friends, that best friend, they all have a role in our life. Believe it or not, they play a HUGE role in what we do and how we live our lives. However, they can not make you feel happy if you are not feeling genuinely happy with your choices. Hold this thought. I am not diving into this further but we will really probe this thought among the pages of this book.

We established that this book is aimed at those of you who are NOT afraid of jinxing your life and asking this simple questions around happiness and satisfaction. When was the last time that you asked yourself this question? When was the last time that you examined where you are at with yourself and with your life?

Again, some of you shrug and say: hey, why should I even ask this question? As if I have a say in this. This is what life should be like. Why should I even ask such questions?

Good point. You are totally getting into that victim attitude: It is what it is. Weather or not I feel good about it or not does not matter. Let me just be.Suffering or not does not matter. I am just living life as is and not questioning anything. I make a living. I live where I want. I eat at places I like. I have a family. Honestly, I have work to do and do not really have time for this philosophical shit!

Philosophical shit?! Yeah, that is a good one to call it. You can call it this. As a matter of fact, if you don’t deal with this so called shit, this shit is gonna pile up so high that can drown you in it. How about that? I am not sure if this is the language you expected to see in this book but I want to shake you. This is a wake up call. May be the imagery of this language can help you want to revisit this attitude towards this question?!

May be, may be not.

But now let’s focus on anyone who is really into finding an answer.  I was a borderline between asking the question and being afraid of jinxing life and then being pushed to ask this question in full flesh. At one point I experienced the victim attitude too. Although I spent some time in the victim mood but it was not my favorite and I could not have stayed there my whole life. You know, I had this hint always that my single life in this world is too precious to be spent in that kind of powerless mood. May be this was the reason that a lot of seemingly HORRIBLE things happened to me in life but honestly I would not trade any of it back for that normal facade of a happy life.

I love what I learned . Trust me, many people who have gone through some sort of incredible hardship or challenge in life say the same thing: what does not break you makes you stronger.

You can take a pause here.

May be this whole concept was foreign to you. I really want to see you ponder about it as if it is a life-death matter for you. Believe me it is even if apparently no one is dying in front of your eyes and no one is having a heart attack that requires a 911 call.

Still, I can tell you by examining where you stand with this question, you can save yourself a lot of emotional, physical and neurological trauma and uneasiness in your life.

Do you finally feel ready to face this question?

If you said yes or even a mmm, let me see, we are good. If you said a firm No, that is fine. This book is not for you. Please return it and get your money back and save yourself time or just delete it if you have a digital version. After all, your life on the shiny running wheels is waiting for you to take you to that next stage: a bigger job, a bigger house, the ideal partner, a less modest car, and all the good stuff out there. What are you waiting for?

As for people who are still with me, thank you for trusting me. Let’s move on together:

Grounding Practice to Face Life

I want to invite you to clear your mind and look at this question as your right to live. You are not posing this question because you are ungrateful. You’re posing this question because you are your own God. You are in charge of your own destiny. Because you have a right to know where you are headed and how you feel about it. There is no reason to feel afraid, ashamed, and weird about asking this question.

Take it simply. You simply want to know if your life is what you wanted it to be and if you’re headed into the right direction. You’re basically checking with the GPS of life to make sure that the address you put in there is still where you wanted to end up.

This act requires stepping out of the life on autopilot.

You see in life on autopilot mode, you don’t need to make much mental effort. After all you are doing almost the same thing every single day. It is like following a formula. It is when you stop the auto pilot and start questioning it that the real work begins. That is when we will need to restart the brain in a whole new way.

Planing our exit of the autopilot is our focus in this book. I will show you step by step how we can go about stepping out of the race and stepping into realizing our full potential in our life and career. It is like a blue print for self realization in modern, digital, and fast paced world we live in.
