Scientology has given me a broad understanding of life. In terms of myself, if I look back into the past, I have been able to address and handle the things I didn't like or want about myself - compulsions, angers, the reasons behind. Why did I say that or I wish I had done that. I have gained the ability to make the right choices and look at life the way it is instead of through my past pains, attitudes, sensations, bad experiences, which would tend to cloud seeing a current situation clearly and inhibit making correct choices in present time. If I were to use an analogy, Scientology has stripped me of chains and overcoats to finally expose the bright and shiny diamond that I am. Simultaneously, I have learned data and technology to live life better, communicate better, understand life better so that I can be successful in life and continue to expand as myself and help others to do the same. I can accomplish anything that I decide to. I have the tools, the ability and the self confidence.
