Translated from French by AI. Manuel wrote this story in French.

Before this program, I didn't really know what I wanted from my life, nothing made sense anymore. During this program, I was confronted with so many inner difficulties, doubts, blocks, it's as if I had to open up several wounds and traumas and relive them. Looking squarely at the reality of what I want and realizing that I wasn't at all where I want to be in my life, discouraged and frustrated, but looking for solutions. Now, after writing the Lifebook, I'm wondering how I'm going to make these 12 big dreams come true. At least I've taken my health back into my own hands, I've been training 3 times a week for several weeks now (high-intensity training) and I also go walking to do myself some good. I drink a lot of water and I cook for myself like never before. I'm very proud since the results are visible. It's just the continuation of what I was already doing, I started at 248 lbs in 2017. Today I weigh 213 lbs and I find myself more and more handsome. I take care of my mind by reading, feeding myself with what I believe will propel me toward a healthy future. I even allow myself to play certain strategy games such as chess to stimulate that part of my brain. I take care of my emotions by doing EFT, using techniques I know to feel better. I stopped seeing money as a scourge, the way I was taught to see it in my childhood. I was able to realize that I don't feel fulfilled in my career, or in my friendships. I was able to realize that I had a tendency to victimize myself and that my character needs to rise up if I want to be happy and fulfilled. I was able to enrich myself with a billionaire's vision, and draw inspiration from the richness of his experience. I was able to realize that several aspects of my spirituality had become toxic for me, and maybe still are today. I'm still looking for solutions in this category, and I still have things to learn about the self of reason. I was able to look at what it is to be a parent, giving a child the minimum to give them every chance and passing on what I want to pass on, I realized that I need to achieve my life vision to get there. I mean, I looked at every category offered by the Lifebook. I feel better equipped, and I believe I'm capable of getting there, without knowing exactly how I'm going to get there. In the photo, I'm celebrating this past year of work and searching. Thank you!
