Book Cover & Preview Text
The challenges and stresses of life can weigh heavily on the soul, destroying hope and limiting the blessing of having taken a breath, of having been a part of the wondrous cycle of life. Everything around us suggests that life itself has become more complicated and more difficult to live. Yet in its most basic form, life has not changed in the thousands of years since we showed up on this rock floating in space. The same rules of survival, the same guarantee of death has existed right from the beginning. What has changed is technology, social norms and customs. We feel more stress, more anxiety and more uncertainty.
This book was written as a result of such stresses. It is my personal road map to deal with the day to day problems common in today’s society. What I realized was that a focused life is the first step to a more enjoyable life, a life that has perspective and direction. Purpose and direction is based on what I believe to be basic truths to our existence. These truths are found throughout the 102 daily activities with the associated positive self talk phrases.

About the Book
This book explains that like all highly developed skills, living requires focus, direction, and effort. Meaningful lives don’t just happen. More focused, more enjoyable experiences are not simply a continuum of spontaneous events, but a collection of efforts designed to move you in a defined direction. This book will remind the reader that the desired goal is not as important as the effort to reach that goal, and that the ultimate use of one’s life is completely self-determined. It explains to the reader that life unfolds on a daily basis and therefore, our actions and our efforts should be focused in the same manner.
Great effort is made to remind the reader that the more important experiences in life are not materially based, that much too attention is given to the acquisition and eventual worship of things. In an effort to live with more meaning, more internal peace and personal satisfaction, we must learn to live one day at a time. We must master the process of focused, constructive thought and internal self-reflection.
