There is an inheritance distributed at the moment of birth. As soon as you are born, you begin to receive a heavy, far-reaching legacy from all the generations of your family: some pass on their fears, others their weaknesses, and still others hand down pre-written life scripts. We need to take a decisive, serious stand to review everything we have inherited. We need to step "off-script" and start writing anew—with our own pens. The book *Stepping Off-Script* (Al-Khuruj 'an al-Nass) was originally published in 2015. Today—after six years of growing awareness—that original book has become Part One of this new volume. Part Two is titled *Returning to Life* and consists of twelve new chapters. In Part One (*Stepping Off-Script*), we will explore the meaning of psychological boundaries, distinguish between our true and false selves, and understand why we sometimes repeat the same mistakes. We will learn about "unfinished business" and the emotions we feel that are not truly our own. We will discover how we might be living only half a life, examine the roles we play in our life scenarios, and identify the most powerful weapon in human history. In Part Two (*Returning to Life*), we will discuss the inner voice that rises from within, sending us harsh messages that spoil the taste of life. Through examples, we will look at decisions made in childhood that alter the course of our lives forever. We will discuss suicide and what it means for someone to decide to end their own life. We will see the impact that the fear of abandonment and loneliness can have on those who experience it. We will understand what our choices reveal about us and learn how... Let’s not let our needs bring us down... Come on, let’s step off the beaten path—towards the light, towards life.
