About this ebook

If you’re leading a life of “quiet desperation” rather than a vibrant, fulfilling life, and you want that to change, this book is for you.

Do you want more freedom in your life? More time to call your own? More energy? Work that you love?

Developing that kind of freedom only requires three basic steps: setting your priorities, eliminating obstacles, and taking action. This book walks you through each of those three steps in detail. If you apply the information provided in this book, you will be able to make the changes in your life necessary to take back your life; that is, to make the positive changes that will lead to greater freedom for you.

If you don’t like the way your life is going right now, and you’re ready to do what it takes to change it, download this book now and read it from beginning to end. You’ve got nothing to lose.

    Take Back Your Life - Emily Josephine

    Introduction

    The snow fell relentlessly, and the bitter cold was seeping into the girl’s bones. She’d lost her shoes earlier that day, and now, as the daylight quickly turned to night, her threadbare clothes did nothing to protect her. She sat down between two houses, knowing that if she went home, her father would beat her for not having sold any matches that day.

    The night wore on, her body grew colder, until the little girl froze to death.

    If that sad story sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a summary of the Hans Christian Anderson classic, The Little Match Girl. But it may seem familiar in another way. You may feel that much of the time you are wandering around, trying to fight against storms and expending all of your energy just trying to survive. You may even have a subconscious fear that your dreams and hopes will never see fruition.

    Sure, you have a nice home to live in, food to eat, a decent job and perhaps even a partner who loves you. Yet, something is missing from your life, and it’s frustrating. In fact, you may sometimes get frustrated to the point of depression, and wish you could just somehow be swallowed up by a black hole. At the very least, you look at people who are living the way you want to live, and often ask yourself why it’s happened for them and not for you.

    I completely empathize. I know exactly how you feel, because I have been there. At times, I just resigned myself to the way life was; at others, I railed at God for my circumstances; and still other times, I decided God had stuck me where I was and I would be out of His will for trying to get out of the difficult place, so I would rationalize myself into a false sense of happiness.

    And all the time, I was shriveling up and dying inside.

    I had done what so many Westerners do: I had followed the path set up by society, the path of going to college and exchanging my dreams that made me feel really alive for a sensible career. The path led to work that, in my youth, I really thought I wanted, but that I would feel trapped by soon after beginning it.

    And I began to feel guilty for wanting more. After all, I was doing better than either my parents and two of my siblings. And for a person of faith, being ungrateful is a sin. But I couldn’t help but want more. And it wasn’t about material things. I was one of the last people on earth to buy a CD player, and still don’t own an iPhone. I hardly ever shop for clothes, and the décor in my house rarely ever changes.

    It wasn’t about wanting more stuff. It was about wanting more freedom. Truth: nobody has ever lived – or should ever live – a life of complete freedom. If you think about what that implies, you realize that this would lead to a world of chaos and misery! So when I say freedom, I’m really talking about abundance. And abundance in every area of life, not just finances!

    What about you? Do you want more out of life? Have you been frustrated by the constraints on your life that keep you from doing what you really want to do, where you really want to live, going where you want to go, and – yes, this is okay, too – owning the stuff you’d really like to
