    About this ebook

    Startups are being added to the list of the fortune 500 hundred companies, giving their owners the ability to fulfill philanthropic pursuits. People with so called “disabilities” are rising to new heights and becoming well known for inspiring and helping others like themselves to accomplish things that no one thought was possible. In each case, everyday ordinary people are showing extraordinary resolve to reach unfathomable levels of excellence. This begs the question. What is it that spurs these individuals to become so focused and so accomplished while so few of us ever do? The answer lies in what is hidden inside of each of us. The secret of their success lies in the fact that there was something inside of them that when awakened provided the catalyst for them to not only change themselves, but indeed the world.

    That having been said, this book has been written to awaken that which is inside of each of us and to provide individual access to the necessary tools needed to overcome those barriers. It is designed to equip those who struggle to reach their true potential with the mental software necessary to overcome whatever stands between them, their success and true life happiness. It is a book about personal power and personal development, but unlike other books that are designed to sell you on how to market yourself to the world it has been written to offer you guidance on how you can create a much more meaningful life. It is an instructional manual on how to create a life that you can regard in the highest esteem because of the difference that you will make in the world. My desire is that this writing will provide you with the most important tool needed to reach the highest possible level of achievement, and to create a life that will have meaning not only in this world, but in the principalities beyond.

    There are many reasons why people never reach their true potential, the most important of which is that they either: 1) don’t know that the tool that I am referring to is in their possession, 2) have forgotten about it or are unaware of its importance or, 3) they simply don’t know how to use it. Once you understand that you have access to this tool and learn how to use it, you are then able to tap into what I believe to be the most valuable resource available to humankind. That tool is our spiritual power. Our personal power is multiplied when it is fueled by our spiritual power. The body, the mind and yes, the universe, is made up of energy and of spirit and it is this spirit which when accessed, magnifies our personal power and unleashes our true potential.

    For many, this spiritual power remains dormant which in most cases leads to a life that is only half lived. Psychologists tell us that as human beings we only use a small percentage of our mental capacity. We know this is true because few of us ever accomplish things like inventing penicillin from molded cheese, or giving humankind the capacity to fly to the heavens and beyond. But even more importantly, many of us never use all of our spiritual capacity either, let alone learn to merge our mental and spiritual capacities together to create a life full of commitment and satisfaction. Mostly everyone wants to succeed and to stand out from the crowd. My desire is to help you to become accomplished in such a way as to leave your mark on this world, while also making a good impression in the world beyond. This book is not just a motivational tool. It is a method to help you find yourself, find your spirit, and make your life one for the ages.

      To God Almighty who had his hands on me when I didn’t even know it, and who kept his connection to me when I had forgotten about my connection to Him. To my parents Charlotte and James Hawkins, whose teachings, encouragement and examples led me to realize that the important things in life are to be responsible, articulate, educated and above all, a service to others. And also to Rasool Jackson, whose friendship, mentorship and belief in my abilities gave me the inspiration to be the best that I could be and whose teachings also culminated in the writing of this book.

      FOREWORD

      From the top executives at multinational corporations to individuals trying to make a living from day to day, we are all bombarded with media images which attempt to define for us what it means to be successful. However, finding your passion in the midst of the media maze is a task which crosses cultural, ethnic, and spiritual boundaries as we all attempt to find life fulfillment in what we do on a day to day basis.

      For nearly two decades, I have been working with business professionals and entrepreneurs teaching them how to achieve significant business growth through business networking and internet marketing. In my Blogtalk radio show: Let’s Talk Strategies, I have been privy to conversations with millionaires and highly successful entrepreneurs and can bare witness to what makes one truly successful in the world of business; and it is with great confidence that I say that Making Preparation for the Coming Separation outlines exactly what you need to know in order to not only experience personal, professional, spiritual, and career satisfaction, but also to leave this world a much better place than when you arrived.

      In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hawkins identifies and corrects some of the deceiving misconceptions about the definition of success and empowers individuals to overcome the hurdles that are preventing them from thriving in their lives and in their careers. As a respected, counselor, educator and community leader, he offers the keys to redefining yourself for maximum effectiveness and provides the tacit information necessary for us all to reach higher and higher levels of achievement. By sharing this information he redefines success in ways that take into account the bigger picture and prepares the reader to experience happiness and success not only in this world, but in the one beyond.

      From cover to cover, this book is filled with solid, proven strategies for life fulfillment. With each lesson, this book becomes your ultimate guide to choosing careers that will maximize your personal and professional development as it teaches you how to become successful in the most meaningful sense.

      Dr. Hawkins innately understands how to assist individuals to redefine their lives by forging the human and the spiritual connections that make ultimate success possible. By using his experience as a master educator, clinical counselor and problem solver, he gets straight to the heart of how to turn our one chance at life into a thriving, life changing experience through the use of this invaluable, step-by-step guide.

      This book bears great testimony to Dr. Hawkins’ lifelong passion for helping people to succeed and to be productive members of society and I am honored to be a small part of it. I commend you on the wise investment you are making by reading this book and I wish you all the best as you venture forth in your journey toward ultimate success.

      INTRODUCTION

      I believe we are created in the image of God which makes us the highest form of evolution and since we are created in His image, that we are born full of creation. If this is the case, then why is it that so many of us never come to reach our full potential? The obvious answer is that in these cases barriers must exist which prevent most of us from being the best that we can be. Even so, if you look around you you’ll find certain instances where everyday people are doing extraordinary things. Scientists are finding cures for diseases. Startups are being added to the list of the fortune 500 hundred companies, giving their owners the ability to fulfill philanthropic pursuits. People with so called disabilities are rising to new heights and becoming well known for inspiring and helping others like themselves to accomplish things that no one thought was possible. In each case, everyday ordinary people are showing extraordinary resolve to reach unfathomable levels of excellence. This begs the question. What is it that spurs these individuals to become so focused and so accomplished while so few of us ever do? The answer lies in what is hidden inside of each of us. The secret of their success lies in the fact that there was something inside of them that when awakened provided the catalyst for them to not only change themselves, but indeed the world.
