Pillars of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425773021)

Pillars of Life is inspired by the dynamism of my personal experiences of life and how every level of my engagement and interaction in my upbringing has been a building block for sustainable personal growth and development. It reflects an appreciation of the past and encourages the cultivation of wholesome relationships that lend support to your individual drives and aspirations. It outlines how every level of an individual's up bringing can be a positive factor and stepping-stones to future endeavors and accomplishment. It is a motivational literary work, backed by biblical truths and personal testimonies that identifies four life-involving areas that can be sources of strength and support as you make transitions through life; support you can depend on when 'the going gets tough, and the tough get going'. The four areas of support as prescribed in this book are Family, Community, Friends and Faith. Each brings specific sets of values that an individual can rely on and use to their advantage. The goal of this book for you is to learn the dynamics of balancing your life as best as you can on the pillar or pillars that provide the most support system for you. For those who have elements of each working in your favor, you are blessed, and I suggest you harness those elements so that you continue to experience the benefits of their support. For those who will experience defects in any one or more pillars, I encourage you keep hope alive; do not give up, but look to the other pillars and identify the one that offers the most opportunity for your growth. It is often said, "it is not how a man starts that matters, but rather how he ends." In other words, our destiny can not automatically be determined by where we begin but rather, making use and taking advantage of every opportunity to make the most of your time is such a way that after a while, we can look back and feel good about our past and path. It is written for all audiences - youth, young adults and adults alike. It cuts into your current situation no matter where you are in your life, and provides options for identifying and strengthening the basic support systems that works best for you.
