About this ebook

Between the lines of life, something occurs from within us each time we face situations that strike a nerve. It’s like we are reduced to robotic reactions without realizing it--reactions that consume time and energy, make you feel helpless, and rob you of your quality of life. Zero Adversity introduces you to a living process that allows you to stop the clock and think about how, or whether, to respond to any event, regardless of its severity. This course of action gives you the power and control to seize the moment and take back your quality of life.
In Zero Adversity, you will discover how to:
• Break free of the experience of adversity
• Reclaim time, energy, & productivity drained by adversity
• Successfully respond to every life event
• Eliminate worry, fear, frustration, anger & resentment forever
Most importantly, you will learn how to create a zero adversity lifestyle that fosters greater happiness, love, passion, prosperity, and optimism. No longer will events disrupt your focus, derail your attitude, commandeer your time, and consume your energy. You will be able to assume control, respond successfully, and then let them go.

    Introduction

    Between the lines of life, something occurs from within us each time we face situations that strike a nerve. It’s like we are reduced to robotic reactions without realizing it—reactions that consume time and energy, make you feel helpless, and rob you of your quality of life.

    Zero Adversity, a practical life tool, initiates a living process that allows you to stop the clock and think about how, or whether, to respond to any event, regardless of its severity. This course of action gives you the power and control to seize the moment and take back your quality of life.

    When you build your life around Zero Adversity, you put yourself in touch with your innate ability to be authentic by expanding your freedom to pursue the stuff you want to pursue, be more fulfilled by what you do, and be true to yourself in a culture where being authentic is an unnatural way of living.

    What would you do if you knew you would never again experience adversity? How would it make you feel to have the time to freely live your life? Where would you travel to? How would you design your life? What kind of livelihood would you direct your new found energies toward? What kind of relationships would you cultivate and nurture?

    In a world where our life experience is continually defined by stress, struggle, frustration, anger, and a lack of time, Zero Adversity offers a practical way for you to considerably upgrade your life experience.

    My view is that we have been preconditioned to perceive and experience certain events as adversity and react negatively to them out of habit. The pace that takes us from place to place, one day to the next, and from one year to another is often frantic, and it disconnects us from our own authenticity. When you deny the very essence of your feelings and desires, you deny your authenticity.

    When I refer to your own authenticity, I mean being in the present moment, loving, passionate about what you are doing, in touch with your talents and gifts, inquisitive, empathetic, compassionate, expressive, giving, vulnerable, and truthful to who you are.

    The beauty of having a process for dealing with events is it can be used to eliminate the experience of adversity in every area of your life, such as in romantic relationships, where Zero Adversity fosters an atmosphere more conducive to intimacy by preventing life’s challenging events, negative feelings and emotions, and old resentments from contaminating your relationship space.

    You have a fluctuating pool of personal resources—time, energy, attention, focus, self-confidence, and attitude. As you face events throughout the day, you invest these resources, sometimes to the point of their exhaustion. With drained resources, there are less available to invest in you.

    You are the protagonist in your own life play. You also happen to be the screenwriter, director, executive producer, editor, and financier of your play. If you are not happy with any aspect of your life, because outward changes begin from within, Zero Adversity can help you effect change.

    Adversity has been traditionally defined by the following words—extreme hardship, suffering, difficulties, misfortune, bad luck, trouble, distress, disaster, affliction, sorrow, misery, woe, pain, trauma, and tribulation. I am sure we can all agree that if we could eliminate the experience of adversity, we would be much happier and our lives richer, because we wouldn’t be weighed down by events of the past, present, or
