It All Begins With Desire

When describing a personal transformation, many scholars throughout history have written about a motivational place that exists in the hearts and minds of mankind that can be found with a simple desire to want something more from life, and having the willful intention to seek out the truth. For centuries, the key to unraveling this mystery was a safely guarded secret, and it was not until more recent times, where these motivational and inspirational teachings emerged from individuals like Napoleon Hill, who introduced a new thought movement that would forever change the world.

Although, it has been called many things, Douglas W. Guy refers to his awakening as his Never-land, and invites you along on this 60 Day motivational journey to witness the events that would forever alter his life. As you follow his footsteps, you’ll discover the individual paths he took that were essential to uncover his one true destiny. Along these paths you’ll learn how to apply the knowledge he’s learned through his daily journal entries or short stories as he likes to call them, where each has a valuable lesson that can help you along your path to personal growth and discovery. This book challenges you to answer the question; what was I put here to do?

By taking the time each day over the next 60 days to record what is happening in your life, you'll begin to appreciate its fullness with this spiritual new thought process. Creating these daily records allows you to slow things down, and analyze your thoughts and emotions in a different light. They will enhance your personal growth, and serve as your daily motivational and inspirational affirmations that are absolutely essential to your personal transformation. It enables you to put things into perspective, and discover what is meaningful, or what is not. It teaches you to be grateful for all the things you have in life, and helps you notice all the beauty that surrounds you always that may have once obscured your vision. No matter what your current circumstances, or situation may be right now, traveling 60 Days To Never-land will forever change your life too!

"Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best."

This book is dedicated to you!

It is my hope, that 60 Days To Never-land inspires you to make a journey of discovery where you’ll achieve all the abundance in this life you so richly deserve. That is my wish and my prayer!

Personal Acknowledgements

Before writing this book, I was extremely fortunate to have a family that stood by my side through all the ups and downs in my life; never judging me for my of my decisions, or mistakes I’ve made. They have always been supportive in a way that nurtured my creative energy to write this book, and to become the best man I could possibly be. For that, I owe you all a huge debt of gratitude. Thanks Lizzer for always lending me your ear, and for your unwavering belief that I would make something of my life someday. When you’re right, you’re right! Thanks Maskeeta for worrying over me like a Mother Hen, and for keeping me in your prayers even when you thought I didn’t know, or wasn’t listening. Thanks Goggs for always defending me no matter what I’ve done, and for keeping us all laughing over the years; I don’t know what any of us would do without you!

Then, as the inevitable additions to the family came, I’ve been blessed with the most incredible people that God could have ever given me. Thank you Jeff for all the early days hunting, fishing, and the long philosophical talks that still inspire me to this day. Thank you Captain for your congeniality and for the silent love you have carried in your heart for us all; you’re not as tough as you look. Thank you Scarry Peach for being the Angel you are, and for putting our welfare in front of your own always. Thanks Miss for helping me to look beyond myself and for the timely kick in the pants when I’ve occasionally needed it. Thanks Bean for being the voice of reason with your humorous commentary at just the right moment; you are your father’s son without a doubt. Thanks Dev for all your little quirks that have taught us all to be grateful for the things in this life that are often overlooked.

When I first sat down to write this book, I thought my journey was a solitary affair. But, as I began to write, I understood my gratitude needed to inevitably widen to include the individuals that were most responsible for creating the man I am today. Thank you God for putting my little soul in the hands of my grandparents when I first came here to greet this life, because the lessons they taught me with their love and understanding are with me to this day. Thank you for the Dad that I did not really understand, nor really appreciate until his passing. Now, I’m more like him every day. Somehow I know he knew the important role he played in my life, and was at peace with that on the day he passed. May you keep and bless our loved ones always until we are reunited again in heaven. And, for my darling little Corky that departed from my life without me in it, but not without my love. Not a day goes by when I do not think of you; I miss you sweetheart.

And, to my Mud Boys I want to thank you for opening my eyes to the glorious wonders that can be seen through the eyes of a little boy. Even though you are not old enough to understand this right now, it is my hope that someday you’ll read these words when you are older, and know you were partly responsible for helping me find the child within me again. There are two Angels I know that live to the east across the Big Pond that I want to express my love and appreciation for having you in my life. The courage they’ve demonstrated in the face of some of the most extreme adversity has inspired me to be a better man. Thank you ladies, I know we’ll be together soon.

Mom, I do not know how many ways I can say thank you, and considering I’m a Guy who is never short for words, they fail me. How do I quantify my undying gratitude for having you in my life? Without your support, in more ways than could be mentioned here, this book would have never been possible. From the bottom of my heart I love you, and can only hope to return my gratitude through the success of this book. Thanks! Bud, you have been my hero since you were just a little shaver, and it has been my honor watching you grow into the beautiful man you are today. You have not only inspired me to the best I can be, but you challenge others to follow your fine example through your deeds, and actions. You are truly one of a kind, and you make the world a far better place by being in it. Thank you for sharing a journey that inspired me to walk 60 Days To Never-land.

"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."

The Path of Truth

Three years ago, I was sick of my life, hated my job, and was just coming off a devastating breakup that had consumed my every waking thought. Things had gotten so out of hand that I found it difficult to get out of bed in the morning. My world was in shambles, and I knew I had to change the way things were before I became another sorry statistic of mediocrity. It is a moment frozen in time. A moment I will never forget. The chain of events it set into motion would alter my life forever, and put me on a collision course with my destiny.

It all started one evening in early April of 2010 while I worked late into the night. As I glanced around my office, I realized the only thing hanging on the walls that meant anything to me among all the awards, certificates, and college degrees, were the pictures of my family. At that moment, I realized how much I had missed in their lives, and I would give it all away, if I could get back just a little of time I'd lost. Suddenly, I had this uncontrollable urge to just leave, and it wasn't just for the night, I was obsessed with the thought of leaving for good. That's was the night when I first conceived a picture of Never-land, and where my journey to find it began.

At the time, I knew nothing about the Law of Attraction, or the uncertainty of my future. The one certainty I had, was to regain control over my life through any means necessary, and eliminate the negative external forces that plagued my thoughts and emotions. Things had gotten so bad that I could not discern the difference between what was real, and what was not. The only way I could foresee moving forward, was to end this vicious self-defeating cycle by closing that chapter of my life, and pursue the path of truth.

So many things raced through my mind. One question in particular kept gnawing at me more than anything else. How did I get to this awful place to begin with? It played over, and over in my mind like a broken record moving me ever closer to the edge of an emotional cliff I'd never experienced before. Maybe I'd been numb for so long, that it was only now that I could feel the pain of this empty existence. Maybe it was a culmination of many things that had blinded me from seeing the truth. Maybe there was no easy answer to my dilemma. All I knew for certain was a change had to come or I'd go crazy.

As I contemplated my next move, I knew I had no other option to stop this downward spiral without leaving. To right all the wrongs in my life would require me to expend more of what little energy I had left to give, which was not an option. The only way I would survive, was to burn every bridge that connected me to this life, and begin the slow process of moving forward. My decision to leave it all behind, quite honestly saved my sanity, and ultimately my life. My awakening to the truth had begun, and there was no turning back.

Fast Forward, April 2013

Closing that chapter of my life was the easy part, while understanding how I had gotten there was another matter entirely. What seemed as an accidental discovery at first, I would later reason that it was more by design, rather than something that happened by chance. When my mind, body and spirit felt like they were no longer my own, I began to question things as they were. It was like I had been stuck in a bad dream that I could not wake from, and it took the awakening I experienced in my office that one late night where everything boiled to a head. It was the night when I was finally brought back to life.

My decision to leave my former life helped me to understand that I have the power to control any situation through my thoughts and emotions. And, the secret to experiencing an abundant life is through living the one true calling that was meant for only me to live. Considering all I'd ever done throughout most of my adulthood was in the construction industry, I figured the field of dreams was wide open, and the possibilities were endless. All I needed to do in my immediate future was to keep trying new things until I discovered what I was put here to do.

In the three years that have passed, I’ve accomplished many goals that I would consider modest at best, and not monumental in terms of living a blissful life full of purpose and passion. There is no question in my mind now what I was destined to do, and this book is living proof that I've finally got at least part of the bigger picture figured out.

Although, I've changed my life drastically, I became complacent after attaining the peaceful side of life, and my personal progress became stagnant. The old homestead that has been my refuge for these past years, had become as much of a tomb as the life I left behind. My spirit was restless once again. The time had come for me to finish my journey, and get back on the path to my ultimate destination; Never-Land!

This book is a compilation of my journal entries from April 15th, 2013 to June 13th, 2013, which encompasses 60 days to be precise. This journey, I've often compared to ascending Mount Marcy, which is the highest peak in the Adirondack Mountains, and one that I've made many times. Each path along the journey upward presents its own unique set of challenges, and can be very doable for anyone that sets their mind on reaching the top.

By the end of this book, you will come to know as I did, how your positive thoughts far outweigh the external forces that are constantly working against you, and how you are exponentially more powerful than the thoughts you had only a moment ago. Unleashing this inner power may seem like a foreign concept at first, but once you learn these techniques, you'll understand it is far easier to have a positive thought than a negative one. With this knowledge you'll understand that your Never-land is only as far away as the thoughts you can conceive and believe in the most, and is your God given right to claim.

Tomorrow I am embarking a journey homeward along the path of purpose to a place I will refer to as My Never-land. There was a time that I thought I would never find a place where my soul resides in happiness and joy believing I would never find Heaven on Earth the way I do now. Had it not been for God sharing his infinite wisdom with me, for the family that caused my awakening, and for the help of the luminaries I credit at the end of this book, I would've never found the courage to discover my Never-land. My gratitude is eternal, thank you one and all!

Swami Vivekananda, who lived between 1863-1902, wrote these

profound words about the human journey that is still true today!

All the powers in the universe are already ours.

It is we who have put our hands before our eyes

and cry that it is dark.

We are what our thoughts have made us;

so take care about what you think.

Words are secondary.

Thoughts live; they travel far.

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind,

it is transformed into an actual physical

or mental state.

We reap what we sow.

We are the makers of our own fate.

None else has the blame, none has the praise.

There is no help for you outside yourself;

You are the creator of the Universe.

Like the silkworm

you have built a cocoon around yourself....

Burst your
