Manifest Destiny (Paperback) | Released: 12 Feb 2012

What's your story? How does it determine your place in life? Do you have control over what you believe? Can you make your story the story you desire? Boldly transformative yet unbelievably practical, this unique self-help book by author Greg Beckham sheds light on how what we believe, true or false, creates our lives for better or worse. Manifest Destiny: How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Shape Our Lives is the sort of book that will change your life, how you live it, and how you share your life with others. Beckham's promising approach to self-awareness and self-actualization is a refreshing change from acceptance, denial, or years of therapy. His tactic is to help others perceive their story of themselves in an empowering way and create the future with a sense of purpose and intention that serves our well-being for --"we are the product of our stories." We have every opportunity to write our destiny and influence what the future holds. In this book you will explore the power of your story, and learn potent and practical concepts that will help you become the author of your life! There are always at least two sides to every story. So if your current story doesn't serve you, you can be sure that there is another, equal or opposite story that will. The goal of this book is to help identify the stories harmful to your growth and well-being and to reframe, or retell, them in ways that will help make real, lasting and significant changes and breakthroughs in your life in the most harmonious way possible. Beckham helps readers tweak their fodder to "rewrite" their story and create their destiny. He helps them understand that anything is possible by transforming the sad songs of the past and the troublesome visions of the future. He speaks of Emotional DNA, the Physics of Experience, the Feeling Cycle, Emotional Alchemy, and how each of us can best rearrange the details of our lives to make us a willing receptor for what we want. This book is wholly centered on the individual's "life story" as the underlying catalyst as to how their lives manifest. By changing our narrative to suit our specific needs, we're given the chance to change what comes next. By understanding what shapes our lives--Beckham shows readers how to get back into the driver's seat. Instead of allowing experience to shape our lives, we often allow the 'stories' of our experiences to shape our lives. The time is now--this is how your story begins.Show More
About the Author: Greg Beckham is a transformational speaker, trainer, author and coach, certified by Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) of California as an NLP Master and Advanced Health Practitioner, as well as a hypnotherapist, and advanced language patterning specialist. Greg was born in Stockton, California, and adopted at birth in 1965. He began his path of self-actualization at an early age with studies in spirituality, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology and religion, with a particular focus on the science, art, and practice of manifestation and material-emotional balance. Greg is also an accomplished musician, writer and entrepreneur. In 2005, after a long and very successful career in the real estate and mortgage industry, Greg's life began to shift in the direction of human potential and creativity. Having personally experienced two decades of material satisfaction and financial security, Greg then endured a series of emotional trials and economic hardships that wreaked devastation upon his world, and the story of who he was... This havoc would turn out to be the exact set of circumstances needed to show Greg that a deeper sense of satisfaction and achievement was missing in his life - one that no personal tragedy or economic hardship could take away. One that could only come from within. One that would lead to success and happiness.
