    About this ebook

    Building a house is exactly the same as building a relationship. A house and a relationship both require a strong foundation. Before one can contribute to building a foundation with someone else, he or she must build their own individual foundation. Two individual foundations equal a strong foundation. Our learning lessons from our experiences are a part of our individual foundations. In this book you will learn how to address your emotions, shift your perspective on all (Positive & Negative) of your experiences and learn the lessons within your experiences. By shifting your perspective and learning the lessons, you will be able to create "Foundational-Questions" to determine compatibility with another individual. You will also learn the difference between "Foundational & Surface Questions". Additionally, you will learn the difference between a "Foundation" relationship (Deep) & a "Surface" relationship (Shallow).

    "Society" utilizes "Surface Questions" to develop compatibility; which leads you to Day 30 asking yourself, "Who are you? What happened to the person I met on Day 1?" My "Foundational Questions" will have you saying, "Who are you?" on Day 1 and on Day 30 you will say, "I sure am glad you're the same person I met on Day 1."

    "Society" is too focused on boxing people in and applying labels, that many people forgot that we are all individuals. Labels aren't applicable to individuals. This book approaches relationships from the perspective of an individual not a man or a heterosexual, but an individual with a different perspective on Life.

    The overall objective for this book is for people to realize all their answers are within and to separate themselves from "Bass-Ackwards Society". This is an equal opportunity book that focuses on the internal (Individuals) and not the external (Genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, or ages)

    Author

    Maceo NeSmith III

    Maceo has always had a unique perspective on Life and Living. He is one who believes that each Life experience is meant to help him grow on multiple levels. The experiences come in all shapes and sizes and it does not matter what you label them, as long as you learn the lesson. Lesson? Maceo is a firm believer that within each experience there is a lesson that needs to be learned. He believes that in order to learn the lessons an individual must first turn inwards, address his or her emotions, and then shift one’s perspective from the surface to the foundation. The foundation of every experience is where the learning lesson lies. Maceo has noticed that when the emotions are not addressed then it becomes difficult to learn the lesson. Why? Due to the unaddressed emotions obstructing the view of the lesson. When the emotions are not addressed all an individual may see is what caused him or her to get emotional and totally miss the learning lesson. Thus, perpetuating the same cycle of learning experiences. One of the questions that Maceo always ask people when he speaks about life experiences and learning lessons is, “What’s the difference between positive and negative experiences, since learning lessons is the common theme?” Answer: there is no difference. The experiences are meant to teach an individual not harm an individual.
