Book Cover & Preview Text
We forget about what’s really important to us because it’s easier to get caught up in meandering through life rather than taking it into our own hands. For a moment, we tell ourselves it’s okay to not have any aspirations outside of where we are now, that we can’t afford things like ambition, and that it’s okay to take a break from our dreams. In a way, in a direct result of this way of thinking, we stunt our own growth. We keep ourselves from the true potential we have the ability to be alongside our dreams.
But it’s not our dreams we need a break from. It’s this mind-set—that we somehow have to settle for a life we no longer recognize—that poisons our reality. It’s almost as though it’s expected in our society that we’ll wake up one day and wonder how on earth we let our lives get this way. It’s as though people often expect us to choose to be miserable, yet still somehow expect us to be functioning members of society, over the versions of ourselves that have the ability to be such a force that we have the ability to steer our own course.

About the Book
There is no guarantee that the lives we lead will be easy, and our unique stories—both our inner and outer worlds—are shaped by our perceptions. But what happens when our self-defeating behaviors begin to take a toll on our lives—on these perceptions? What happens when we forget that our identities are not products of our mind or what we’re going through? And when we’re trapped in this endless cycle of misery and negativity we find ourselves settling for lackluster lives, so how do we instead choose to redefine our lives and embrace a world filled with vitality and color?
In The Dark Dictionary, author Andrew Kendall explores his own personal journey through the self—one that began in darkness but is now paved with self-discovery and improvement. From A to Z, The Dark Dictionary is about transforming the definitions in our lives into the ones we’ve always imagined living by. But it starts first with releasing ourselves from the very grip that more often than not keeps us stuck—anxiety, fear, victimization, poor choices, unhappiness, and toxic relationships. With new definitions of these concepts, new perceptions give rise to new lives.
For all those both seeking and willing to shed a little light on their darkness, this personal yet universal journey can transform a world of darkness into a world of optimism, gratitude, happiness, and abundance. And by applying the knowledge within, you’ll realize that the keys to success and happiness were qualities you already possessed—that just needed to be brought to light with the power of your thoughts.
