Author Interview : Eddyee Siingh
Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of 'Little me in everyone'
Let's start!
1- First of all introduce yourself to our readers. – I am an ardent and zealous entrepreneur, a Mind coach, motivational speaker and NLP professional (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a Practicing Shaman . I have embarked on the journey to pen down my thoughts and bring my life story to the world. I am also an eminent hypnotherapist who has assisted many people in finding latent potential in them and regaining command over uncertain and fragmented areas of life. I have also helped numerous people turn back to life with full vigor and spirit.
2- Tell us something about your book 'Little Me In Everyone' . Every human is born with a “genius”, a guardian spirit allocated at birth. Our whole life is inside our Mind, which is a prism refracting the light of everything around and within us. Caged in this mind is the ‘Little Me’ helping us, talking to us, questioning us, and nurturing us all along the way. Even when no one believes in us, the ‘Little Me’ does. It evolves in multiple realms, the only sustenance it gets is through introspection and reflection done in the state of awareness.
The eternal conversations we have, our struggles for justifications and morals, and our gut feelings are what shape the voice of our ‘Little Me’. It grows inside the spiritual realm of energy and the soul as we also grow with each new experience in life. The Self, the Ego and the Pride evolve from and dissolve within a person’s ‘Little Me’.
Every time we indulge in self- doubt and self- pity, the ‘Little Me’ loses a little bit of its brilliance but eventually it thrives on the knowledge we acquire in life and assists us to transform it into wisdom. In pursuit of maintaining our outer self we get so engrossed that this little me gets abandoned in the wilderness of darkness created by us.
In this book you’ll find the reflections of everyone’s ‘Inner Self’ and ‘Little Me’, protected by Spirit Guide “Genius” thus guiding us to learn and rejoice every moment of being alive despite the perplexities of life.
3. Your book seems to be very motivational. How this idea came into your mind?
The Idea sparked from the passion of my writing blogs and posts on social media as (life Mechanic), while helping , healing and motivating others being a Mind Coach and Healer.
Writing is gratifying when our thoughts gush out of our heads like cream from a cake. When we pump out a good piece by the end of the day.Those are our BEST moments.
I guess I had the illusion that originality for a creative story was a completely independent process. While writing, I learned that creative story lines can be inspired by our own real life stories other than already existing stories, and still be considered creative and original.
What more motivation do you want? Looking at your experiences come to life, or something that you wish to record from your memories! It's a brilliant way to capture it all in the form of a motivational and self help book and let others learn and evolve through the same experience as you.
4 - What encouraged you to write on self help genre instead of any other?
I guess that’s why people tell us to learn from history. Us humans, at least when viewed on a grander scale, we never change. We always have the same old problems with the same old solution.
The world is full of valuable lessons, even in places that we don’t expect.
In self-help books, the lessons are structured. They tell you what (they think) you need to know, straight to the point.
Though fiction can be a rich source of valuable lessons, but it takes a keen eye and an inquisitive mind — which gives one the ability to notice the subtle, then to expand, mix, and develop those subtle points into a full-grown amalgam.
In most instances, the lessons within fiction books will be scattered all over the place, in tiny bits and pieces.
5 - Did you always want to become a writer?
Yes, I wanted to be a writer, A writer through and through, To make this dark world brighter, With Guardian angels own point of view...For only angels can know it all, And bring good things to bear, So I prayed for a miracle and became Oracle to write and share wisdom with everyone, thus giving back to the society, to make this world a better place to live, A heart that seeks to care...So I can't rest while others sleep
If words are in full flow, When paragraphs on pages creep, Like footprints in the snow of old memories and experiences of life...Like starlings flying west to east, Across the midday sky, For writing's now become the feast, The words that I live by...
6 - How do you handle negative feedbacks?
If your book can’t be criticized, you aren’t saying anything. No one cares about a book that says the sky is blue. We know that.
Everybody has an opinion. And they are just that — opinions, not facts. So one or two people didn’t like your book? Big deal! Out of millions of readers, that’s not even a drop in the bucket.
Yes, putting a book out there is scary and nerve-racking. It’s a creative endeavor, which makes it a little more personal. We can’t take reviews personally though. We have to believe in ourselves and not let negative feedbacks stop us.
7 - Are you planning other books? How soon can your readers expect your next book?
Yes the sequel to “ little Me In Everyone “ will be out soon with another slice of my Lif’s learning , wisdom, fall and Triumph.
The most obvious reason to begin a sequel is the real and authentic story line where the previous story ended. This is what fans are always clamoring for: “What happens next?!”
But it’s also true a sequel is a new animal in its own right, with its own set of unique questions and challenges—ones you maybe never even dreamed of when toiling through that first book.
8 - How has your journey as an author been so far?
Looking back on the journey, I can honestly say that I’m not one bit sorry about how long it took or how it’s all played out. For me, it has all unfolded, as it should have. Now I think about all the times I almost gave up, felt hopeless and depressed. Many people I respected and loved thought I should have. But the encouraging words from other authors, family, friends and my Mentors kept me going along with my Guardian angel. Your dream is alive as long as you keep at it.
9 - Who is your favourite Indian and foreign motivational author?
My Mentor Richard Bandler is my favorite and always close to my heart
While I respect and adore Sadguru, Guru Gopal Das and Sister BK Shivani
10 - What does your family think of your writing?
My family is an interesting mix on this front—probably because my family is made up of a smattering of people who are very different on a fundamental level. How some of these people were ever able to co-exist without killing each other is occasionally beyond me.
My mother, wife and kids are very proud of me and loved my writing skills. For rest… I don’t care if they’re proud of me.
I don’t strive to be proud of them.
I care only if I’m proud of myself.
Everyone should strive to be proud of himself or herself.
It’s a flawed idea that we should make members of our clans (families) proud.
When we obsess about making them proud we fail to live our lives the way we want. We inevitably cater to their expectations, dreams and needs and forgo our own dreams and needs.
This can only lead to a society of broken people who are constantly frustrated because they can’t live according to their versions of happiness and success. They always worry what their families will say. They are crippled by it.
11 - What is the best way to market your books?
Social media is the fastest and the best way to market my book , as I already have a huge follower base on social media, the love and support of my fans and followers have already made my book reach the Top seller position.
12 - Any message for your readers?
Learn to live your life by your own rule book, break all self limiting beliefs and reinvent youself as many times as possible, till you start loving what you are doing and start living a happy life with your new and best version/Avatar
Thanks for reading.
