The Diva in you- and the Now

So I'm currently facing a dilemma. Many of the current books I am reading about the "Now" way of living is not fitting in well with the way life is being lived by every single person and thing around us. Here's the problem. Living in the now, nice and calm etc is all good until you are slapped in the face with other peoples opinions and way of life. No one else understands the concept of the NOW and they are not living by it. In a way make me feel sort of like an outcast and not being able to relate to many people anymore...So how do we combine the NOW with realistic life situations. Because no matter how hard you try the EGO is EGO and with everyone elses ego circulating we really have no way out and our EGO is demanding attention too! (unless your on a private island, this is the only way I see it really working).... Ok, so Ive been taking a grain of truth from some situations and decided to change my ways. Going back to 2 years ago before the "NOW" to a book I read in front of the Punta Cana beach, called "I AM DIVA!"
This book talks about feeling good about YOU inside and out but showing it through Passion and Charm... The book has many related topics to the NOW but realistic to what we are facing everyday to things that matter. Feeling good about the way we look and dress and if that means wearing makeup or getting your hair done to feel good, then thats what we need to do!.... Even if it is feeding EGO! EGO is a part of life, a part of us... letting it go is like dying inside and pretty much BORING toooo.

I think I've ranted enough :) but I will write out some parts of the book I enjoyed;

"The trapped feeling comes from living a life governed by expectations"

"All the joy comes from living Diva!"

"style is a mode of expression, it doesn't come from reading fashion magazines or buying trendy items , it comes from knowing who we are, being proud of it and expressing in uniquely"
