I am taking on the challenge of 'publishing' again from scratch, after failing three years ago.

Hello. I am Mayuna, a personal coach who shares how to live true to yourself by following your heart. This is sudden, but I have found something I want to accomplish this year.

I want to conduct a human experiment and provide a live commentary on my life regarding the question, 'Can an unknown amateur who has failed once actually get published?' Last year it was participating in a competition, but as usual, nothing is decided yet! I am starting from zero right now. I don't know if it will go well. But I am going to do it.

It started three years ago.
My friends all started publishing books, and I thought I wanted to try it too, so I gave it a shot. However, my motives were shallow; I was only thinking about my own benefit, thinking, 'That sounds cool' or 'That would add prestige!' I managed to catch an editor's eye and have my proposal brought to a planning meeting, but I was soundly defeated with comments like, 'There is no evidence this will sell' and 'You have no track record to give you credibility as an unknown author.'

I was only thinking about myself. The editor's feedback was spot on... I should work steadily on what I can do. I became desperate with the work right in front of me and forgot about it. Then, from the end of last year to this year, several people told me,
'I want you to write a book about living by following your heart.'
And it hit me.

Through my coaching sessions, I have learned:
・That I have seen firsthand that people who 'follow their heart' have many things go well for them.
・That when I teach 'following your heart' in school classes, the students' self-esteem increases.
・That I myself took on the challenge of 'following my heart' last year, which taught me so much, was wonderful, and allowed me to sincerely support both myself and others.

If more people lived this way, society would surely be kinder and more creative. I want to end the cycle of 'giving up because of someone else's evaluation, age, or gender' with my generation,and pass on a 'society where people can fully demonstrate their potential and joyfully support others' as a baton to my daughter's generation.That is the desire that has sprouted within me.

1-on-1 coaching is great, but it only reaches one person at a time. I had also been thinking that I wanted more opportunities to spread this beyond schools. And then, the idea of 'writing a book' finally connected into a single line.

I want to deliver the method of following your heart to those who want to have confidence and find the right answer in 'living a life true to themselves.' A book is one of the tickets for me to realize the 'society where people can joyfully support others in living happily' that lies beyond that.That is what I thought.

There will likely be ups and downs, but I would be happy if you could watch over me and think, 'She's at it again.'
I'll do my best!
