HARD-KNOCKS

This book is on reflections on my life. So I have reflected on my dreams of becoming a writer, my family life beginning from the '70s, and my quest toward wellness. I have also reflected on my journey toward an ideal career, my mistakes in being a people pleaser, and my mid-age crisis situations.Further, I have revisited the unfairness I faced at my workplaces, my heartbreak over the broken world, my reasons for gratitude in life, and my redesigned life for a positive impact.These reflective activities helped me understand my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors better. As a result, I have shown personal growth in the past two years. Also, reflecting on my past choices helped me make wiser decisions in the present time, and will help me in the future.Other than this, processing past experiences served me as therapeutic sessions that helped me to get healed from negative emotions and trauma. It also brought to my mind stress reduction, thereby bringing clarity to my thought processes.Also, looking back on my experiences helped me to have gratitude for what I have at this present time. Happiness depends on how you see your problems, as opposed to how big your problem is. Stronger relationships with others as a result of interactions also improved my communication and empathy. Further, learning from past mistakes and successes helped me acquire personal growth.Therefore, I recommend that people, especially adults, read this book so that they will have self-awareness, improved decision-making, and increased gratitude in their lives.So let's go flip the pages!
