Before I became a part of Scientology, I was very hesitant to expand myself beyond what I considered to be safe bounds. While others may have considered me to be outgoing and successful, I knew that I was really bluffing my way through most situations. Scientology let me open up and really enjoy myself and those closest to me. I no longer craved admiration or approval from others but truly knew my own way. I found that the more I liked, respected and knew about myself... the more I got from life what I wanted. And those around me were happier too!
