contains that thought and was written with that thought in mind.\u003cbr\u003e From a small question, I found many answers and gained the courage to accept myself, free from the lies.\u003cbr\u003e I really liked the sense of liberation I felt at that time, so I wanted to share it with you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.8, from the “Preface to the Revised and Expanded Edition”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My life has many limitations and no guarantees, but even in a normal life there are many things that are permitted.\u003cbr\u003e An adult's adolescence ends when they can accept their current self and fill their life with it, and at that moment, we become true adults. \u003cbr\u003e--- p.53, from “Being Ordinary Enough to Be Happy”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you find yourself constantly fueled by anxiety, or feeling ashamed that your life is far from the future you envisioned, you need to let yourself know.\u003cbr\u003e Life is just a series of possibilities, and no life is wrong.\u003cbr\u003e Live hard and study hard to your heart's content.\u003cbr\u003e But no one's life can be insulted.\u003cbr\u003e We each have the right to live with respect for our own lives.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.68, from “I will speak about the right to respect my life”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Of course, there is partial truth in every story.\u003cbr\u003e However, success cannot be derived from a single, unchanging formula, as it is a result of each person's individuality, circumstances, timing, and luck. \u003cbr\u003eThat's why we need to go through the process of self-examination and judgment about the superficial truths that rely on authority, the self-help theories that inflate their utility like a bag of nitrogen-filled chips, and the greed of someone who wants to create a following.\u003cbr\u003e The moment we stop this process, we become someone's tool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.121~122, from “Any good words must be verified by oneself”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You must persistently persuade yourself to let go of your self-blame, walk away from the wounds of the past, face your true self, and strengthen your inner strength.\u003cbr\u003e The map of self-love is completed through this process.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, this process is never easy.\u003cbr\u003e But only those who endure that tedious and arduous journey can complete their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.154, from “It will go through a sufficient process”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt's not self-esteem to think that you can break off a relationship at any time, and the pain of a relationship will never end as long as you run away from self-expression.\u003cbr\u003e Learning how to express yourself fluently, developing healthy relationships, and building your life within them.\u003cbr\u003e Even though it may be difficult, and even though it may not be the answer we want right away, it is the path we must learn and move forward on to find happiness.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.207, from “Expressing My Feelings”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What we need is to go beyond the question of legal logic and ask, \"What is a human being?\"\u003cbr\u003e Questions about humanity are likely to sound naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, and may even make you sound like a hypocrite.\u003cbr\u003e But without this question, would we really be okay?\u003cbr\u003e Isn't it vain?\u003cbr\u003e Is there really happiness there?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.248~249, from “What is a human being?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Life is a long journey.\u003cbr\u003e You need to keep your body as light as possible so you don't get tired. \u003cbr\u003eSo, if the weight of life has become burdensome, you need the courage to face the things you couldn't let go of due to anxiety and let go of them.\u003cbr\u003e Luggage that was never taken out during the entire trip, worries about things that haven't even happened yet, unnecessary desires that weigh down life, shame that wasn't done wrong, and excessive relationships that only tire you out.\u003cbr\u003e An ultimatum on all of this.\u003cbr\u003e That surrender will set us free.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.264~265, from “Living Lightly”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For me, this book was a guide and a pledge to my heart.\u003cbr\u003e Although I've been a bit defensive and have polished some of the sharp edges, I feel like I've lived by the book's message in many ways over the past five years, and I've now internalized it.\u003cbr\u003e And fortunately, my clinical results

adult, I discovered that the world was a cold place, people were needlessly harsh on each other, and even ordinary people enjoyed discrimination and contempt when given the chance.\u003cbr\u003e He had a hard time understanding why he, who had done nothing wrong, had to feel miserable and inferior, so he read several books and found his own answers in sociology and social psychology.\u003cbr\u003e We have come to the conclusion that individual unhappiness and anxiety arise not from chemical reactions occurring within oneself, but from relationships with society and others.\u003cbr\u003e The book that explains the enlightenment gained in this way in the form of an essay is “I Decided to Live as Myself.” \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, the author uses warm and precise language to explain why we must accept ourselves as we are and how to live that way.\u003cbr\u003e And at the end of every piece of writing, a cheerful and affectionate picture is added to convey the message more fully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This revised and expanded edition also continues this unique charm.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, as five years have passed, we have removed text and pictures that are not appropriate for the current time and added new text and pictures.\u003cbr\u003e The existing manuscripts were also revised and edited one by one to improve the overall completeness.\u003cbr\u003e In the final 'Thanks', the author confesses that this book, published five years ago, also served as a guide for his heart.\u003cbr\u003e I've tried to live by the message of this book, and now I've internalized it, and as a result, my mental structure has become much healthier. \u003cbr\u003eReading this book will allow you to feel the same pleasant coolness that the author felt.\u003cbr\u003e The reviews of countless readers who have already read this book prove this fact.\u003cbr\u003e A book for all modern people who are tired of earning a living and living as adults in a cold reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSupport me with all your heart\u003cbr\u003e Lovely book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reason why “I Decided to Live as Me” has been loved for so long is because it accurately points out why our hearts suffer.\u003cbr\u003e It deals with ordinary stories that we all have likely experienced at least once in our lives, whether at work or in relationships.
