Book excerpt: Maybe: A simple yet powerful mindset for coping with stress and worry Allison Carmen spent many years fighting a powerful addiction. It wasn’t drugs, alcohol or fame. It was an addiction to certainty. If she didn’t know what the future would bring – and who does? – she felt anxious and afraid. This decades-long struggle followed her through college, marriage, parenthood, and a successful law career. While everything seemed fine from the outside, Allison was in a constant battle that was unwinnable, sapping her energy, attention, and spirit. Until the day she discovered The Gift of Maybe. Maybe is a simple yet powerful philosophy that has not only transformed Allison’s life but also those of her numerous clients, readers of her books, and podcast listeners. The message is this: In the face of uncertainty, Maybe opens your mind and heart. It creates a little space for hope. It allows you to take a deep breath, stay in the present, and forge your own path. Many things in life are beyond our control, but the mindset of Maybe presents a simple, powerful way to stay connected to what’s possible, and work to make it happen. It is just one change of perspective, but Maybe it changes everything!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goals are the cornerstone of success. Goals serve as an aim or purpose that one works forward with effort and determination. People have many different kinds of goals. These include career goals, relationship goals, life goals and educational goals. We can sum it up like this - a goal is a dream with a deadline. Setting goals helps us in taking a step backward to get an ides on what’s really important in life. It’s the first step towards creating a life full of meaning. At work, setting goals as a team helps each team member perform better in their role. One common thing that all human beings have are various goals that they would like to accomplish for themselves. These goals vary from person to person. However, most people today have a tendency of going aimlessly in their quest to achieve their goals. Aimlessness leads to failure and, therefore, young people are encouraged to have an aim in their lives and move towards that aim. This book will not only help you realize your goals but make you learn the joy and satisfaction that comes from attaining your purpose in life. Build your life around your goals and they will shape who you are at the end of the day.

Download or read book The Only Constant written by Najwa Zebian and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wise and tender guide to coming to terms with impermanence and recognizing that change is the force that allows you to become you—from the celebrated author of Welcome Home “I’ve always known that change is hard, whether it’s a change I choose, or one life chooses for me. I’ve also always known that change is one of life’s only constants. Not just that, change is one of life’s most beautiful truths. Change is what puts life in our lives. Change is the gateway to authentic transformation.” Whether it’s your job, your relationships, or just the way you move through the world, if you’re like most people you have something in your life you’d like to change. And sometimes, unwanted change comes all too swiftly: a breakup, a death, an upheaval to the everyday reality you thought you could rely on. Dr. Zebian guides you through the changes we must make and those we must endure on the journey to our most authentic lives. She quiets the noise, teaches us to accept ourselves as we are now, and helps us focus on the necessity and beauty of those messy transitional times. With timeless wisdom, Najwa shares her personal experiences with change (for example, rejecting her culture’s definition of what constitutes a “good woman” so that she could live more honestly). She guides us through the changes we choose, like embarking on a new career or setting boundaries, changes we don’t choose, like the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job. Ultimately, Dr. Zebian teaches that the purpose of change is to step into the world as your most authentic self. A highly practical guide to unfamiliar terrain, The Only Constant is here to assure us that uncertainty is natural. Yes, change is scary. You may want to hide from it by clinging to your past. But embracing change is the path to shedding old ideas of who you are and living your life as your true self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erma Bombeck once said, "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I'd hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" How each woman defines success might be a personal matter, but there are certain gems of wisdom we can all share. Editor Ellyn Spragins invited women from all walks of life to write letters to their younger selves, filled with the knowledge they wish they'd had before beginning their own journeys. Including tales from trailblazers like legendary news journalist Barbara Walters, finance expert Suze Orman, pro golfer Annika Sorenstam, fashion designer Kate Spade, newscaster Soledad O'Brien, and fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, these letters highlight what helped each woman get ahead, what got in her way, and what really mattered.Whether they address launching a company, running for office, starting a family, or succeeding in less conventional ways, these voices will both move and inspire any woman who counts herself a success-in-the-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when children are forced to become child soldiers? How are they transformed from children to combatants? In Child to Soldier, Opiyo Oloya addresses these timely, troubling questions by exploring how Acholi children in Northern Uganda, abducted by infamous warlord Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), become soldiers. Oloya – himself an Acholi, a refugee from Idi Amin’s rule of Uganda, and a high ranking figure in Canadian education – is a scholar who challenges conventional thinking on child-inducted soldiers by illustrating the familial loyalty that develops within a child’s new surroundings in the bush. Based on interviews with former child combatants, this book provides a cultural context for understanding the process of socializing children into violence. Oloya details how Kony and the LRA exploit and pervert Acholi cultural heritage and pride to control and direct the children in war. Child to Soldier is also ground-breaking in its emphasis on the tragic fact that child-inducted soldiers do not remain children forever, but become adults who remain sharply scarred by their introduction into combat at a young age. Given the constant struggle in courts in deciding whether former child-inducted soldiers should be pardoned or prosecuted for their activities and conduct, Oloya’s eye-opening book will have a major impact.

Book excerpt: It's been close to three years since Roman's been home, and it probably would have been longer had his good friend not gotten into an accident. Being sick of his perverted uncle, who makes bi-weekly trips to the strip club, is just the beginning. He lives in a city he doesn't know, with people he knows even less. And while most would say 'just go back home, ' it's not that simple for Roman. What if you had a half-brother twenty years your junior, whom you were afraid to meet, your sweet mother had become an annoying, emotional wreck, and your father disgusted you because of his past indiscretions? See, that's Roman's dilemma...and for the first time in his life, two women want him. So, he must decide if a boring, mundane existence with no heartbreaking surprises is better than one filled with fun, friends, uncertainty and pain. It seems like an easy choice for most, but things aren't always what they appear on the surface-especially when life throws you a curve ball. About the Author Gerald Warren graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Social Science. He lives in San Diego, California where he is hard at work on his second work of fiction. This is his first novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divine Parenting Made Possible Every parent wants to do his or her job well. But if you look to your family of origin, or try to follow a list of dos and don’ts, you will fail. Thankfully, God sets a model as Parent, and all you have to do is follow it! In Parenting the Way God Parents, Katherine Koonce shows how healthy parenting patterns will flow naturally when you parent from your godly heritage. By way of thought-provoking study, discussion questions, and scriptural snapshots, you’ll begin addressing not just your children’s behavior, but the important heart issues that shape their character. When you adopt God the Father’s perfect understanding of His children and prayerfully obey His example, your children can’t help but become healthy, whole, and thriving! The Perfect Parenting Plan Kids will be kids, and parents will become…just like their own parents. Even with the best intentions, parents will default to raising their kids just as they were raised—unless they embrace a revolutionary approach to parenting. Thank God, because He provides the better way. He has everything you need for parenting your children in the grace, discipline, and love with which He parents you. Child development and learning specialist Katherine Koonce comes alongside to offer you a fresh perspective that will redirect your parenting path. Parenting the Way God Parents will help you: Discern valid rights from selfish wants in this age of entitlement Be prepared for anger, and help your children prepare for it too T ake an active, prayerful role in seeking God’s vision for your family Focus on shaping your children’s hearts, not just their behavior Set aside parenting how-to books full of dos and don’ts and embrace the One who parents you perfectly. “Knowing Katherine as a gifted teacher at the school my children attend, it’s evident that she has a great deal of wisdom and insight.” Steven Curtis Chapman Singer/songwriter “Parenting the Way God Parents is refreshingly free of formulas, and packed full of wisdom and valuable insight. I will reread it for myself and recommend it again and again in my practice.” David Thomas Child and Adolescent Therapist Coauthor of Becoming a Dad: A Spiritual, Emotional and Practical Guide Story Behind the Book “Like most parents, I was not prepared for the job. Again and again I found myself defaulting to the parenting tactics and family dynamics recycled from my childhood. God convinced me that there was a better way. Rather than parent the way I was as a child, I can choose to parent the way I am Parented today. God my Father parents me with excellence, and I want to continue that legacy with my children. In choosing this paradigm of childrearing, however, I’ve had to lay down my little bag of parenting tricks and embrace the One who parents me perfectly.” —Katherine Koonce
