    About this ebook

    Discover the Keys to A Lifetime Embracing Congruence!
    The Story of Alec is a story of how Alec, an alpine parrot, managed to stumble upon a lifetime of congruence through various important stages of his life as he learns about himself and the world around him.
    The Story of Alec will bring you through the various locks in life and help you get started on the process of understanding how you can free yourself from the misery of living life according to the standards and expectations of others and to start making active choices in how you can leave your own legacy in this world.
    In this book, you will learn:
    Why the Standard Lock makes no sense and is the cause of false inadequacy
    How our dependency on the Approval Lock can cause undue pressure
    How the Self Preservation Lock stems from insecurity and is not in our best self-interest
    Why the Settling Lock is a passive source of doubt and a self imposed limitation
    How breaking out of the Expectation Lock can make us happier about what we choose to do
