Are you dreaming or are you being dreamed? Determining your own course in life is not as straightforward as you may think. Life seems designed to make us lose ourselves little by little from birth. Influenced by others, our past experiences, and our adaptations to circumstances, we can unknowingly end up living a second-choice life—a life that isn't consciously chosen and doesn't lead you on a path to what you truly want. When we live a second-choice life, we fail to achieve our true potential, creating a hole within ourselves and in the universe. In this book, author Thea Rotteveel will guide you to recognize how you have fallen into a second-choice life, discover how you can break free of it, and unlock a path toward a first-choice life and true fulfillment. Following Thea's own journey of personal rediscovery—an odyssey both internal and spanning across continents—and equipped with exercises and prompts for self-reflection, you will learn how to redirect the course of your life to align with your unique, individual source and reconnect with your true self. For those who feel there should be more to life or aren't completely content with the way you are living, this book will equip you to find passion, purpose, and happiness. Existence is not complete without your unique contribution, so start living the life you were meant to lead!
