"I Am Good, Just the Way I Am" is an honest and thoughtful journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and friendship with one's own mind. In the course of life, we all play many roles - student, parent, teacher, colleague, friend, lover, or even adversary. Yet, in the process of performing these roles, we often overlook one vital question: "Who am I?"The purpose of this book is to invite you to look within - to understand yourself, accept yourself as you are, and through that self-awareness, move toward inner peace, emotional balance, and personal growth.
