About the Author
Отрывок из книги
The greatest challenge with life is that it’s daily. We must face each day with its uncertainties, disappointments, failures, regrets and frustrations, along with its opportunities, possibilities and hopes. For many, living can be more difficult than death. I have always said, “The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but rather life without a sense of purpose.”
Being born into the human race qualifies you for the hurts, joys, changes, needs and growth processes that life demands. However, successful passage through the uncharted waters of life's ocean is only possible with the compass of a sense of divine purpose and destiny. After all, it is not what happens to you that really matters, but what you do about what happens. In essence, your response to life is more important than what life throws your way.
