"At a time when slick, superficial, psychological works are foisted on the lay-public, Allen Wheelis has written a serious treatise."--San Francisco Sunday Examiner-Chronicle
God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life,
but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your
talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the
way He's made you.
To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some
He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of
being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific
discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the
dynamic gifts He's placed in you.
Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help
you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use
you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the
inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.
Mindfulness The Journey, Not the Destination is more than a
self-help book. It is an amazing journey of self-discovery,
understanding and knowledge that brings clarity and motivation into
every aspect of our lives. By practising mindfulness every day and
following the activities within this book, you can achieve a deeper
understanding of who you actually are. The author takes us on her
own personal journey through life. Through self-analysis,
reflection, self-help, poetry and literature she encourages us to
become the drivers of our own lives, based on mindfulness,
compassion and gratitude. By working towards keeping our minds
healthy, we will not only help ourselves but every other precious
life encountered along the way. By nurturing yourself and focusing
on self-care and self-respect, you can find a way of making life
easier, simpler and more enjoyable. It is like going from rocky
road to the freeway and having a satellite navigation system to
guide your journey. No matter what suffering you are experiencing
in life, you can find that inner strength to make the situation
more bearable. You can start right now, in this moment, to choose
the route to a much healthier, meaningful and purposeful life.
There is no destination! There is only this moment in time to live,
breathe, laugh, cry and dance. It's an ongoing journey and this is
the first lesson learnt through mindfulness. You also realise that
the road is not going to be a smooth one and therefore require to
build up extra reserves through self-care and nurturing, so that
when obstacles appear along the road you will still find a way
forward.
In the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power.
For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions. Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise.
Thoughtfully written and compelling in its arguments, Women Who Run With The Wolves gives readers a new sense of direction, a self confidence and purpose in their lives.
