It Is What It Is

Most of what is written in this book is common sense if not downright obvious, but much like a riddle, the answer only becomes apparent when finally pointed out. Until the answer to the riddle is revealed it remains obscured, confounding and confusing our minds as we try to unravel the solution. When the riddle is fully revealed to us we are astounded at its simplicity and wonder what eluded us, we were blinded until the lens of logic helped us to see. From the day we emerge from our mothers’ womb, perhaps even whilst still in the womb, we think, the mental chatter takes form, thoughts eventually give rise to actions, actions help to form habits, and habits carve our personality. We become as we think. There is no action that we perform without the volition to act and there is no volition without the thought that motivates it.

This book therefore is simply a guide for how things really are, it has no religious constraint nor complicated philosophy and it is elegant insomuch as it can be put into everyday practice regardless of race, creed, religion or faith. The ideas and principles discussed here are not in the least bit new; indeed many have their origins in the distant past. Perhaps what is different is that they are presented in context to modern day life. The aim of this book therefore is to provide meaningful explanations and potential solutions to the problems we encounter in life.
