I'm a middle aged married male from Australia who has interests in reading mainly in the Self Help and Spiritual fields. I have been lucky enough to write and author a recently published book, and currently am a bookseller selling books online under my Business Name ReadBefore Books.

My passion is ...

unfortunately my only real passion is my books and collecting books and now fortunately writing.

I know too much about ...

everything and nothing really. A little of most things a lot of nothing.

My parents always told me ...

I would never be a writer. My letters and school essays were too brief and I didn't seem to possess any early talents in writing, except I was of course a voracious reader.

My childhood ambition ...

to own a bookshop.

My favorite memory ...

Running my own bricks and mortar bookshop for several beautiful years.

Why I write ...

it gives me a certain connection to myself I had never experienced before. And really I find that I am almost driven to write by my contact with different ideas and of wanting to share my own view and position about them. Nobody much used to listen to me before. Now I am better understood in my writing.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am always reading New Age, self help, and spiritual material.

My first job ...

I stayed in my first job for 20 years. It was office based and clerical work.

My best moment ...

I think it was when I had my own completed and newly printed book in my hands.

My inspiration ...

God, and anyone that speaks truth which resonates to me. I admire someone who is confident enough to know and own their own truths.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Struggle in life

Do we really have to fight life and so struggle against it in any way? I have heard it said many times, for example and after a baby is born prematurely, or even when they are born as a conjoined or Siamese twin, that they are fighters. Or one is fighting and struggling more than the other to stay alive.

Is this true? Do we really fight life to stay alive?

Or does life fight and create struggles for us, to keep us alive?

Do children and babies really struggle and fight to survive and to live? Do some really fight more than others? Are we fighters naturally, and so have to struggle...
