From surviving each day to knowing I can achieve everything I want
Once trapped in a cycle of weekend escapes and self-doubt, this student transformed from someone afraid of the future into a person who knows exactly how to fulfill their dreams and already tastes the amazing life ahead.
Before knowing Paul McKenna I was just an arrogant, unconfident shadow who was just thinking about surviving the day. I never thaught too much about the future, because I was afraid of it, afraid of staying trapped in a life that didn't fit me in any way. I was an automaton who used to go through the working day just waiting for the weekend for escaping the unsathisfaction of life having fun with my girfriend and my friends, always drinking to soothe the mind. Now I'm a totally new person. I'm not even able to desire escaping reality, cause now I know that I can achieve everything I want in life. I adore my new reality! Iswear it, this is not some kind of self-conviction or autosuggestion: I know exactly how to fulfill my dreams and almost every action of mine is delightfully focused in that direction. I have no doubt: theres an amazing life in front of me. In fact, I'm already tasting it!
