you are badass part 1

Here we are, the first part of my review to You Are A Badass. I actually quite excited about this book, because the introduction pretty impressed me.

This book starts with a quote:

         "You can start out with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made."

Just like another self-help book it is legitimate to put a quote as an introduction. However, the author as relatable as she can be, she didn't deal with self-help and motivational crap. Meanwhile, at the same time she desperately need that self-help to change her life.

Actually, she is not in the position to be stressing her life about, she got everything, she doesn't starve nor let alone living in a war zone. However, the ability to know what she capable of is quite disruptive. She said that

"...Maybe you have everything you’ve ever wanted but for some reason you still feel unfulfilled..."

      It’s not about how much you have what you want but how much you have what you need. Maybe a dazzling chanel bag or a glass-looking caramel doughnut can lighten up your life, but deep down you know that's not what you really need. And that is the most stressful feeling, when you know what you need but you are incapable to reach it.

      “You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life.”

     

      What make us incapable to reach it is we are afraid to even begin to start. Instead, wanting to life a live you desire, you should do what you have to do to reach it. You’ll probably have to do things you never imagined you’d do.

      The author almost do all sort of things like going to the life-coach seminar, that she’s forced to fake laugh and start doing high-five, hug or even crying with stranger next to her. But, that never enough to change her life.

      And it’s not about having a millionaire life to begin with. It’s about living a live that give you the sufficient amount of state in mind, when you are helpful for the rest of people, especially you, yourself.

      To begin, she said that we have to be smart people that feel happy so we don’t harm ourselves, or another creature from the earth. We need to be surrounded with self-love-radiated people so we won’t back to that dark side of the world again. We need to be a kickas* people to know what we are capable of.
