I think as a parent you will be very interested if I tell you there is one thing in particular that almost all my introverted clients have complained about in way they were raised. They have all said about same horrifying and tragic thing: "My mother told me I read too much and took my books away."

Introverts love to read. It is our favorite thing in whole world. Years ago when I picked up my extroverted daughter from school, she talked non stop all way home. When I picked up my boss's introverted daughter from school, she got in back seat and read a book.

Please take time and effort to understand qualities of introversion. Help your child understand his or her special needs and build a positive self image. Don't make your child go out and play with other kids if they don't want to. And above all, let them read! One day, when they get into a fantastic college, you'll be glad you did.

Are you facing any of following situations or something similar?

When we come up against challenges and obstacles in our lives we generally do one of three things. We fight against it, we run away from it, or we embrace it head on. Using our friend rabbit as an example again, consider rabbit’s particular behaviour patterns when venturing outside its burrow. There are those that sit right on edge of burrow ready for an immediate bolt down hole again, those that perhaps venture a little further afield, and those who really know what adventure is. Where do you fit? What are you doing with your existence right now?

If you are going through any of above situations what are you doing about them? How are you handling them? Are you just sitting on edge of your safety zone read to bolt home again? Or are you perhaps just cautiously dabbling in an effort to see how “safe” it is? Or are you of more adventurous type and have thrown caution to wind and dived headlong into sea of life? Which of these do you think is “right” path to take? Maybe you can think of an alternative path.

My wife makes very good stew. It doesn`t consist of simply one ingredient. If it did, it would not be anywhere near as appetizing. It does not consist of just two vegetables. You will find a whole range of vegetables swimming around in there fighting for space amongst meat. (My mouth is fair watering just thinking about it!) When it comes to embarking on your future, there is something to be learned from stew recipe. You could attempt a stew with just one vegetable, but it would be pretty bland and boring. You could be just a little more adventurous with it, but it still wouldn`t be enough to give it that special something. No, you really need to add some of everything to give it that special taste.

Is your recipe whole, or are you simply on edge, ready to bolt down your hole again? Have you perhaps ventured a little way out, but at slightest opposition ready to dive for safety of your burrow? Or are you out there just waiting for moment to come when you launch out into that unfamiliar territory?

I would like to think that you are considerably smarter than even smartest of rabbits! This being case, you can handle a little self examination and some planning before you set off on your great adventure.

What have you done in preparation for your great adventure? We examined briefly and in a very basic way, preparations necessary for a space craft to attempt a landing on earth. We talked about need for everything to be prepared and in order before attempt is made. So, do you have everything possible prepared and in order prior to your attempt at landing that new job, new partner, new qualification, new baby and so forth?

As nice as it would be, you cannot be prepared for every little eventuality that happens along, but you certainly can for main events. All you need to do right now, is provide solid answers to a few questions:

1)Do I really want this in my life? 2)What steps do I need to take to make this happen? 3)What would I do if it really happened? How would I handle it? How would I feel? (Okay, so I squeezed a few questions into that one!) 4)Are your “ingredients” complete?

In my ebook “Take Control of Your Life”, one of chapters is centered on “Living In The Now”. Aside from attempting to change our concept of time, (you have to read it to believe it!), it points out that preparation is key to meeting eventualities successfully. If you really want to leave your “hole”, then before you set foot to floor, thoroughly examine path ahead and do as much as you can to prepare for what may lie ahead. Your success may depend on it!

Enjoy your future – it`s up to you what road you take.
