My Creed – Not a Self-Help Book, A Wake-Up Call in Disguise

My Creed: To Do the Best I Can, Despite the Odds isn't just a book, it's a mirror, a soul companion, a quiet fire in the dark. It was written not to impress; I wrote it to connect. Not to fix you, not to uplift you artificially, and definitely not to sell you a false promise. The book offers something far more rare: presence, honesty, and hard-earned truth.


A silhouette of a person stands at the end of a tunnel, facing a large, glowing circular light with abstract cloud-like shapes around it.

This is a book that helps you meet yourself.


Beyond the self-help industrial complex


This is not a book for those seeking quick answers. It is not designed to motivate, entertain, inspire, or help anyone manifest a perfect life. This work refuses to play that game.


What is offered here is presence. Clarity. A mirror without distortion. Each chapter meets the reader exactly where they are, not to judge, rescue, or rewire but to remind them that being human is not a flaw to fix. It is a truth to live.


Dismantling modern illusions


There are no sugar-coated slogans here. Instead, the illusions of modern living are dismantled with care:


The worship of certainty is revealed as the root of quiet misery. The demand to "get out of your comfort zone" is exposed as a trauma trap. The cult of productivity is questioned, without apology. The obsession with outcome is replaced by one clean truth: presence over performance.


For the quietly struggling


This book speaks to those who have tried, failed, succeeded, lost, loved, burned out, started again, and silently asked themselves, "Is this all there is?" It does not offer escape. It offers entry into the chaos, into the stillness, into the unspoken.


The language is stripped of artifice. There is no manipulation. Every word exists to cut through noise. What remains is stillness, strength, and a story real, scarred, and sacred.


A journey from illusion to intimacy


The chapters move from illusion to intimacy, from collapse to clarity, from burnout to becoming. Whether addressing childhood wounds, cultural pressure, sexual silence, the grip of money, the weight of expectation, or the raw edge of grief, nothing is romanticized, and nothing is denied.


Here, failure is not dressed up as feedback. It is welcomed as a fierce teacher. Here, identity is not dictated by others, it is reclaimed. Here, the reader is not persuaded they are respected.


Words that stay


  • "You are not broken. You are becoming."

  • "Comfort zones are sanctuaries, not sins."

  • "Life promises nothing. Show up anyway."

  • "Success is not a reward. Presence is."


The final verdict


This is a book for those who are ready to stop performing. For those who are done pretending to be fine. For those who carry invisible weight and no longer wish to carry it alone.


It never shouts. It sits beside.

It never instructs. It reflects.

It never entertainment. It stays alive.


And when it enters, it stays long after the last page.
