Prescriptions for Success

This book is designed to stimulate our thinking and to remind us of what we already know for the most part. Hopefully, it will help us develop a greater value system and recognize our self-worth. What really matters to you? Each individual is ultimately accountable for himself. So let's not waste time on trivial matters such as keeping up with the Joneses. Decide what your primary purpose is here on earth, and use your mind, body, and spirit toward accomplishing your purpose. I believe that one of my life's purpose is to give back and share some of my life lessons. Of course, I have been doing this for years. A few years ago, I started giving my family members a booklet each Christmas with a potpourri of motivational information based on Christian values. These words kept coming up in my spirit: "Tell the people." And my answer to this was "They will not listen," and that's when it hit me to write it down, and if they are not ready to hear it, they can read it later. I am concerned about my fellowman's health, well-being, and soul. My desire is to serve as a positive role model and motivator for others. Plus, the intrinsic rewards of helping others are great. This book should serve as an introduction to a successful life. It can be used as a resource. I am a teacher from the heart, and I believe in this Chinese proverb "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime." My favorite Bible verse is what gets me through life: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).
