You''ll discover why so many of your daily choices up to now have been made by default, and how embracing the truth about yourself will banish your self-defeating behaviors forever.

This review is from: Design Your Destiny: Shape Your Future in 12 Easy Steps (Paperback)
"All is not as it appears to be," is an adage discussed in the early portion of this book. We're told that thoughts deceive us all the time. One of the purposes of this book is to think deeper thoughts and grow beyond the facade. Risk makes one vulerable, but it is rewarding in that as it is taken, the potential gains are worth the effort. The only real losers are those who refuse to take risks.Good emotional health is addressed in chapter three. It covers forgiveness. A person refusing to forgive only hurts himself or herself. He makes a similar point in the eleventh chapter when he writes about exercising one's mind regularly. He adds, "No matter what happens, never blame anyone--or anything--for the way you feel." The issue is ownership of one's emotions. People who feel in control are less likely to be stressed than those who feel like they are victims of other people or circumstances. On the matter of doing something is better than doing nothing, i.e., activity is desired over passivity, consider the quote he uses from Thomas Carlyle, "Every noble work is at first impossible." The insightful wisdom contained in this book can improve you thought life and thus enhance your quality of life. I recommend this book.

This book changed my life.,
By Tonya M. Hughes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Design Your Destiny: Shape Your Future in 12 Easy Steps (Paperback)
I can not explain completely but this book changed my life. After reading the book fully and then rereading it to apply to my life it changed how I viewed many things in my life. It allowed me to see things differently and then to react to things differently and find more successful ways in dealing with people events etc in my life. I stopped blaming everything on everyone else and took responsibility for how I look and reacted to things. That gave me strength to deal proactive and stop being a martyr to everything. I became an active maker in my life instead of letting everything else effect me. It was the right thing to come into my life at the right time. How I found it in the wrong section of the book store and how I happen to pick it up I will never know. But I am still very grateful. Everyone who has ever had difficulty I have given them a copy of this book. And it has blown them all away when they were ready to see it. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful
