I have been in Scientology since December 1979 and have been learning and applying its principles to my daily life ever since. Life in general used to be a big mystery to me, i.e. why did things happen the way they did and what exactly could I do to make them go the way I wanted them to. I have come to understand these things and am no longer in mystery. I understand how to confront the problems of life and solve them which is an ability I have acquired since I have been learning and using Scientology principles. I now understand myself, people in general, and how life works. What's more is I operate so much more effectively in life as a result.
