After reading The Maestro Monologue, how do you, now, see yourself differently? [Featured Question from May BOTM Author]

[Emmanuela Amasiobi]

I definitely do. It is a reminder that I am a master of myself and my thoughts. The book made me constantly conscious of my personality.

[seyi Aralepo]

In The Maestro Monologue, the author talked about immobilizing our focus and monopolizing our attention. Before reading this book, I used to be easily distracted by my emotions, and situations around me used to shape my judgment about issues. After reading this book, I decided to start concentrating solely on my assignments, and I stopped being discouraged by negative thoughts.

To take off from my last comment, realizing that I am much more than my flaws allows me to work on those flaws. I am not at a place where I perceive myself to be the best version I can be, but I am better than who I was before this book.

After reading this book, I honestly employ more courage, and it compelled me to believe that success is indeed achievable. Furthermore, the concept of “intruder” is quite engaging for me, and I couldn't agree more that we have our own intruders.

I feel empowered after reading this book. Now I remind myself a dozen times daily that I've always been and always will be a rich and majestic child of infinite intelligence, and "greater is He" that is in me.

It helped me realize that in a way, my biggest limit was being generated by me. By being aware of this, I can open myself to everything that helps me to eliminate this self-sabotage from my life, and consequently, I can do more to exploit the capabilities that make me better every day and help me grow.

I believe I can do better now. Though it may tardy buh I'll surely get there... The intruder has power only if you let him in

[Zolex Paula Avina]

After reading the book, I could almost feel lump leave my chest. A lump of doubt and utter surrender to the elements of the world. I have come to realise that I am more in control with the direction of my life than previously thought.

I am also learning how to deal with the intruders in my life. Such issues as procastination and concession to self-negativity. I'm really excited about reading the book. Emphasis on "am".

My thoughts about my dreams and goals have changed a little bit after reading this book. Many of the times I was a few steps away from my final destination, I lost everything just because of my self-doubt. Self-doubt completely shatters my confidence and I start to compare myself with everyone. After reading this, I think my way of thinking has changed, and now I have taken one more step closer to removing my self-doubt from my life. 

[Shelby Ayres]

Personally, I see myself as a person with flaws from previous intruders and am actively working to be my own Maestro. I am continuously growing as a person daily and am planning to continue to use the topics given.

[Onyinyechi Orji]

Before reading I had the wrong ideology about discipline but after reading this book, I can now boldly say that I have mastered habits.

[Glorious Jack]

After reading this book, I understand and accept that I am flawed, there is no one that is perfect, and comparing myself to others does not help.

[Kenneth Onyenwe]

This book opened my eyes to the power of being yourself and not always following the trend. Don't allow outside voices stiffle/cloud the inner true voice. Be original, be yourself, be happy!

[Nathalie Elsa Nelson]

I believe every self-care book will give the reader something to gain and this book gives me a better insight into life. I have started looking at myself in a different light, in a more positive way.

[Mechito Mecherchito]

Now I am an intern at the National Archives, until now I was wondering if I would be chosen at work, if I could be the best, however after reading this book I just know that this is my place and I am already successful and the best!
