Due to his own adversities he faced and overcame, Larry Powell wrote this book to show you there is victory over misfortune: "On September 11, 2001, a plane hit a building in New York City, then another, then another, and life changed forever. A tsunami of personal downfalls affected every part of my life. During the subsequent five years that followed 9-11 my marriage ended in divorce, my business failed due to halts in work from my affected clients, I lost my home to foreclosure, all my money, business associates and many people who I thought were close friends. A once confident, self-assured husband, father and businessman, my life was broken. I was left only with my faith in God, and all the words of the authors I'd been encouraged by over the years." Hopefully by reading these quotes on a daily basis you'll find options to overcome your own challenges so you too can realize a happier, healthier and more prosperous life Examples of Quotes Categorized by Topic: Relationships "What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise." Oscar Wilde Hard Times/Struggle "Fall seven times, stand up eight." Japanese Proverb Abuse/Break-Up "Storms make trees take deeper roots." Dolly Parton Hurt/Shame "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you." African Proverb Grief/Sorrow/Loss "He wept, and it felt as if the tears were cleansing him, as if his body needed to empty itself." Lois Lowry Loneliness "Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named, not good." John Milton Anger/Resentment "Let no man pull you low enough to hate him." Martin Luther King Jr. Failure/Misfortune "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill Examples Tips You'll Find in The Little Book of Survival Quotes: For Overcoming Adversity: 1. Trust Yourself: Believe that the power to do better is within you. 2. Work At It: Remind yourself that no matter how tough things are, they will get better if you work at overcoming your problems. 3.

Sample Inspirational Story: Failure/Misfortune: J. K. Rowling: Her story is the perfect example that success can eventually come to anyone. Before the author of the Harry Potter book series became a success, she was a divorced mother living on welfare, going to school, and trying to write a novel in her spare time. At a Harvard commencement speech she said, "Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one area where I truly belonged."

By Larry W. Powell
xLarry Powell is currently a Dallas-based marketing and advertising professional. Although he has extensive experience in journalism as an academician and business entrepreneur, Life's Little Book of Survival Quotes is his first foray into publishing his own works. After the Twin Towers terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, all but destroyed his means to earn a living (resulting in the loss of his business, his marriage and his home, colleagues, friends and family members), he fought his internal demons and realized there was no other choice but to pull up his boot straps and keep participating in his life. As new doors started to open, his desire to bring uplifting, inspirational messages and tools to empower people to change their lives increased exponentially. He parlayed his experience in marketing and advertising into strategizing solution-based programs for profit and not-for-profit organizations. And established grassroots platforms to help individuals struggling to rebuild their lives and businesses during these very tough times hit by financial and natural disasters. The entrepreneurial, philanthropic and humanitarian components of Larry's nature are the basis for his need to nurture and support people to reach their fullest potential. He is a life coach, a mentor, philosopher, and an educator - all of which he learned through practical applications of the education he gained throughout his collegiate years. Underpinning his drive to affect change are four key components: The human spirit, survival, diversity, and the "mojo" (the magic) in his passion for success. His broad-based skills enabled him to create leadership modules used by staff at all levels, retail and promotional campaigns, city and state officials, and media clients. As well as business models for multicultural, spiritual, and educational programs, and the individuals running them. The coaching and mentoring programs Powell developed over the years are an amalgam of his career as a director of creative strategy; marketing/communications consultant; business director; founder and director of his own advertising agencies; and media mogul - all of which have been foundations for his exploration into journalism. Powell earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in advertising from the University of Texas at Arlington.
