He grew up in one of Dublin’s most deprived areas, where a lot of the young people around him seemed destined to be headed for drug addiction, prison, or an early death (and indeed, many of their lives did end up as such). Derek, however, was always intrigued by the question “Is our life preordained?” In other words, is your life’s path merely an accident of birth in that if you were born into deprived and unhappy surroundings, you received a deprived and unhappy life, or if you were born into prosperous and happy surroundings, you received a prosperous and happy life? Could anybody have control over their life regardless of the start they may have been given?
Derek’s own life experience proved that people can, in fact, have a tremendous amount of control on their lives. After leaving school at just thirteen years of age, he went on to manage two PLC companies and own a number of successful businesses himself. As well as being successful in business, he also enjoys a long and happy marriage, rearing two children and having the joy of now spending time with his three grandchildren. His experience, and later his studies, introduced him the law of attraction, which ultimately results in an individual attracting the life they want directly as a result of their thoughts and actions. Vitally, Derek learned what he needed to do to attract the life he wanted. He became his own research laboratory as he explored this law and gave it the ultimate test—with his own life. Along the way, he also learned what he calls life tools, which had a major effect on his life. In this book, he shares his life experience and his learning in a way that, he passionately believes, will have a positive influence on the lives of his readers.показать меньше
