The choices you make have everything to do with where you are in life. Some may argue, "Not always. Sometimes life throws you a curveball." Of course, many things in life come without notice and without consent, but again, it's how we respond to those curveballs that make or break our path. Attaining and maintaining a Kingdom-of-God perspective at all times will allow us to actually thrive through the worst of times. People's biggest downfall in this life is not the circumstances, but how we perceive those circumstances. After all, perception is reality. Throughout life, it is inevitable to be hit head-on with tough situations that produce a need to talk ourselves off a proverbial ledge from which we'd like to jump! Life isn't smooth as depicted in works of fiction. Life has a million and one unexpected twists and turns and they can, invariably, cause one to want to inflict bodily harm to self or someone else, say things they ought not, run away, or even bring a sudden end to their life or another's. Life is hard because we live on a planet condemned since The Fall of Man and it can cause a person to experience surges of mass emotions that are not controlled by Holy Spirit. In these situations, one must choose to mature into a place in Christ where it is possible to talk ourselves down without waiting for someone to come to our aid; sometimes there simply isn't anyone available. These are the times where we grow if we so choose. These are the times where we can stop being dependent upon others to do for us what we who are hidden in Christ ought to be able to do for ourselves given the fact that Christ, who is our all-in-all, is the very breath we breathe. Holy Spirit is our comforter, our balance, our sanity, our calm and every other thing required to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. He encompasses everything required to encourage ourselves back into sanity, balance, peace, rest and a desire to move forward in His power. This book is written so as to give some guidance of how to do just that: talk yourself off the internal ledges of life from which we'd like to jump.
