The quest to become your self-ideal demands that you become the best version of who you are. Your self-ideal might not necessarily mean you attain untold wealth. On the contrary, many great men and women throughout history attained their self-ideals as martyrs, entertainers and people who impacted the world in remarkable ways. Men and women such as Joan of Arc, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Albert Einstein, Napoleon Hill, Oskar Schindler and Charles de Gaulle. These great men and women did not die millionaires, however, the impact they made when they had become their self-ideals was greater than that which could been ever achieved with a million dollars. You cannot bestow to another that which you do not have. Thus, you must become your self-ideal before you can impact your world with the uniqueness of that self-ideal. This book contains no quick fixes nor silver bullets, rather, it contains ten notable habits which when practised to the degree to which they become a hypnotic rhythm, you could indeed become your self-ideal in whichever field you choose. These ten habits teach you to;
Appreciate and value your uniqueness.
Appropriately respond to any crisis that confronts.
Be resilient by exploiting the opportunity within every challenge.
Submit to a process of personal development.
Gain some perspective over that crisis that confronts you.
Be deliberate about becoming your self-ideal.
Manage your time well and avoid time wasters.
Harness the power of Synchronicity and Serendipity.
Each chapter of this book concludes with a real-life model who mastered and used the habit under discussion to attain a goal or become a self-ideal. Indeed, there is nothing new under the sun. Thus, if these real-life models could do it, then you can do it too. You might not be facing an invading army of the Third Reich, a Medusa or the Philistine army but no matter the challenge you are facing right now, I believe mastering some or all of these habits can help you overcome your challenges. You have within you the power to become the best version of yourself. Believe in yourself and when you have done that many times over, others will begin to believe in you as well. Enjoy!
