I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE...

My dear friend, soul sister, Judy Van Niekerk, is putting together a book with the above title and is looking for contributors. Below is a note she recently posted on facebook. The project is fantastic and all the contact information necessary is included in her note. Hope we can find many with the desire to inspire and change the lives of millions of people across our small globe..

JUDY'S NOTE:

Hi Friends, I am writing/compiling a book with the working title of –

‘I am Who I am Because...’
(a remarkable series of inspirational stories about amazing people from around the globe who have used the challenges they have experienced in life to master their lives and become enormously successful by unlocking their inner genius)

And I am looking for contributors!
The book will be made up of 22 chapters from 15 contributors, who can say without a doubt that they are grateful for what they experienced and have mastered their life as a result of having experienced what many people would label horrific and the cause of their apparent destruction.
My experience is being ‘incested’ by my father and gang raped twice, shot and ‘imprisoned’ for over a decade, but I can say with hand on heart Thank You to each of my ‘rapists’ for it has been through them that I have my mission in life and the where with all to fulfil that mission.
What is your experience?
Part of my mission in life is to inspire millions around the world to find their mission and master their lives and this book is part of that mission.
Too often in life we don’t allow ourselves to acknowledge our mission.
We don’t allow ourselves to live according to our own values and master our life as we find tens of thousands of excuses why we ‘can’t’.
Very often when we look at others who have done just that ‘in spite’ of (as many people see it) experiencing major life changing challenges – we make excuses like – ‘they have plenty of money’, or ‘they had more social support’, or ‘they are better looking’ or ‘more talented’ or just downright ‘lucky’....the list goes on.
By doing this we minimise ourselves to others and further block ourselves form truly mastering our lives and living the life we would love.

The purpose of the book is to demonstrate that it is within each one of us to accept responsibility for our lives. We have the ability to unlock our own inner genius, to accept that there is never challenge without support or support without challenge and by experiencing something major which we view as traumatic is actually a gift from the universe to break our addiction from living our lives in quiet desperation and according to others values thereby not being true to ourselves.

The book will highlight and feature people from around the world who have found international fame like authors, actors, speakers, business people as well as the man/woman on the street who has found fulfilment in mastering their lives who can say that they are who they are because of the challenging circumstances they experienced in their life and they would never change it for anything and would not want their life to be any other way.

If you would love to inspire millions of people around the world to find their mission in life and master their lives, to help them see that whatever they have experienced in life is a benefit and a gift for them to grow, I would love to ask you to contribute a chapter to this book which I believe will also give you an opportunity to widen your sphere of influence to further share you own unique message to the world.

‘If you can stand up and speak, you rise to the top 20% of the world.
If you can stand up and speak and speak concisely and clearly and move an audience, you rise up to the top 4% of the world.
If you can stand up and speak and speak concisely and clearly and move an audience and have them discover their mission, you rise up to the top .8% of the world.
If you can stand up and speak and speak concisely and clearly and move an audience and have them discover their mission and have them reach out and inspire others, you rise up to the top .16% of the world
If you can stand up and speak and speak concisely and clearly and move an audience and have them discover their mission and have them reach out and inspire others and impact millions across the world you rise up to the top .032% of the world’!
If this is important to you and part of your mission in life, I believe this is an opportunity for you to take a step in this direction.

I do have an agent for the book who will present it to a publishing house for consideration – and I know, like I know, like I know that this book will be an international best seller.
I would love to receive in your words a chapter in line with the ethos of the book, about 5000 words or thereabouts, for consideration.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me! Otherwise I look forward to working with you on this exciting venture and being a part of a magnificent journey. So far I have a few absolutely amazing contributors from around the world which I will announce shortly.
Each submission will be considered carefully and if it not selected as part of the published book it will be included on the website.
Please send any questions and submissions to judy@tinyandjudy.com.
Lots of love and gratitude
