Who says you can’t? You do, written by Australian author Daniel Chidiac, is a seven-step guide to discovering your true self, committing to your own life, pushing hard beyond your known limits, and gaining what you truly want in your life.

The book contains seven steps and twenty-seven different sub-topics. Every step deals with a different aspect of achieving true success. The book provides a detailed guide from self-discovery to fulfillment-the of real success. Let’s analyze each step separately.

There are powers inside of you which, if could discover and use, would make you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
-Orison Swett

The very first step deals with self-discovery and the absolute power of questioning. This chapter introduces you to the importance of self-questioning in life, as it is the only way to self-discovery. Ask yourself, what you truly want in your life? , are you going to live an ordinary life? , do you desire for the life that most people live with no comfort, no happiness, no purpose, and no satisfaction? , are you going to settle for less? Or, are you going to push beyond your limits and live that successful life most people dream of? Ask yourself questions, discover yourself, set big goals, and clear your vision. Because, unless, you don’t ask yourself questions, you cannot know yourself, your true potential, and your goals. Life is like a puzzle, unless and until, you don’t have the final picture you cannot solve the puzzle, likewise, for achieving a valuable life you must discover yourself.

Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
-Oprah Winfrey

The second step deals with energy, a driving force that we need in our life for consistency. In this chapter, Daniel suggests that, do what makes you happy and content because happiness is what fills you with energy for doing more. Enjoy every moment of life and do everything in such a way that it should excite you for doing more. He also emphasized the power of focusing, as rays of the sun don’t burn unless they are focused on one point, likewise, we may not achieve that dreamful life unless we focus on what we want.

Permanence, perseverance, and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this that in all things distinguishes the strong from the weak.
-Thomas Carlyle

The third step deals with the system of achievements. This chapter shows you true path to success. The key lessons of this chapter are taking charge of your life, accept what you are and what you have, breaks old and bad habits, change yourself according to your goals, work towards what you want, keep persistency, and visualize what you want and put efforts to make it a reality. Do not fear too much. Fear also plays a small part in our success, provided if it does not cross the extent to become a hindrance in our way. Think about what you want in your life, speak it, take physical action and create it, because, we achieve what we think and believe.

We should not have a partner to fill our emotional gaps with their presence. They should be there to complement the gaps that we have already filled and help us find a way to fill the ones we haven’t.
-Daniel Chidiac

The fourth step is about relationships. In this chapter Daniel suggests some simple solutions to heal your relationships. He says you can heal broken relationships by hoping for the best, believing your partner, compromising on each other’s mistakes, and killing your ego. Peer pressure helps in achieving dreams but it should not cross the limit to stop you from achieving what you want. For a successful life, set fewer expectations, give and receive love, and above all, do not make your happiness dependent on someone else’s mood.

An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
-General George

The fifth step is about healthy physical existence. As we know that our health plays a major role in our way towards success, so, we must work on our physical existence and health. If we are healthy and fit we can achieve more. Here Daniel emphasizes the myth that; visualize that physical body and eventually you will get it because when you imagine it your all muscles start making it a reality. Exercise at least thrice a week and work towards achieving your wishful physical body.

Living in the moment is not the absence of care for the future; it creates the future with awareness.
-Daniel Chidiac

The sixth step is about awakening our minds and unchaining our hearts to broaden and vast our thoughts beyond our limitations. In this chapter Daniel says, live every moment of life with joy but do not be unaware of your future. Our circumstances are the results of our thoughts that later become our actions. So, we must shift our thoughts towards positive things and associate ourselves with great people, because, we grow according to our surroundings.

Shift your focus toward things that matter in life and you will notice your power to create true happiness.
-Daniel Chidiac

The final, seventh step, is about fulfillment-the real success. In this chapter, Daniel says, people often do a mistake; they search for the things they want outside of their being. We must search for happiness, motivation, and success inside our being. We must focus on the joy of end results that is the way to remain energetic and persistent.

This book is a faithful guide to success. Daniel can explain very complex things in very simple ways. The book is easy to understand and its tasks can be implemented in daily routine easily. The language used in the book is very fair and easy. And I have personally found this book very useful and helping especially for teenagers and youth.
