Master of My Universe: How to Get What You Want and Live Your Dream


An anonymous story is being passed around on the Internet. It’s about living life happily. The story might be true. It goes like this:

One day, a venture capitalist was visiting Peru. He met a man who was crafting beautiful metal sculptures in his back yard. These are a gold mine, said the venture capitalist. Let me build a factory to copy these. We can sell facsimiles of them on the Internet. You can be in charge of supervising the factory. We'll work day and night for twenty years. At the end, you'll be fantastically wealthy.

What will I do when I am wealthy? the Peruvian man asked.

Why, then, you can do anything you want, said the Venture Capitalist. You can fish. Play with your grandchildren. Make metal sculptures in your back yard. Whatever pleases you.

I don’t understand, said the Peruvian artist. I fish, I play, and I make art now. I’m already doing what pleases me. If you don't mind, I'll skip the twenty years of working day and night.

Money, and the price to get it, is just not all it's cracked up to be. As the Peruvian pointed out, time is what life is made of. If we give up our time, we have given up our life. Then, what good is money? Are we thinking of it as a measuring system? Do we value our selves by how much money we have collected? The Peruvian saw through that ruse. Yet, the Peruvian had success, by his own measure.

In mastering our own universe, our goal is to succeed by our own measure. We may have spent a lifetime trying to live up to someone else’s expectations. We may not know how we would recognize success. We may not have developed our own yardstick to measure our worth. We may be working too hard and living too little.

If you need help sorting out the conflicts and demands of everyday life --- from health problems to work stresses to family crises – How to Get What You Want is the step-by-step guide that shows you how to win at living. When you read How to Get What You Want, you will learn:
How to find out what success means to you
How to turn your dreams into a vision
How to turn your vision into a plan
How to make your plan become reality

If you're down to your dollar . . . spend it on this book.
