You don’t need another self-help book! Thousands of authors have written about Leadership, Sales, Effectiveness, Management, Success and Happiness. Do you really think there is a secret just beyond our reach, one that the next best-selling book will reveal? The truth is that we’ve known the secrets for thousands of years. From Confucius to Madison, Augustine to Lincoln, Aquinas to Covey -- the great truth is that relationships of virtue matter most. Jeff Meacham provides a framework and practical examples for success in virtually any facet of life (e.g., work, family, community) by getting back to the basics… virtuous relationships.

Grit to Great You’re Stronger Than You ThinkSeta Wicaksana
“Grit, in a word, is stamina. But it’s not just stamina in your effort. It’s also stamina in your direction, stamina in your interests. If you are working on different things but all of them very hard, you’re not really going to get anywhere. You’ll never become an expert.”

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”. - C.G Jung
Self-discovery is simply finding or uncovering your own individuality in order to fulfil God’s purpose for your life.
As every electronic gadget is created to meet a specific need, so likewise is every human on the surface of the earth. God has created us to fill a particular spot, to dominate it with something he has deposited in us.
That is why this e-book is packaged to take you briefly on a journey of self-discovery, and I believe that by the time you will be concluding this journey, you will have an understanding God’s original plan for you, who you are and why you are created. You will begin to manifest excellence in your life.

The Art of Living Courageously Week 7: Courage and TruthRoz Savage
When I put this syllabus together last summer, I had no idea that truth would be such a topical subject, but as it turns out, truth and lies are much on people’s minds at the moment. This week we talk about being truthful to others, and truthful to ourselves, and facing the inconvenient truths of what is going on.

Leisa Aitken is a practicing psychologist who has discovered the significance of hope in human flourishing—but equally, she has discovered the shallowness of the profession's grasp of hope. She is now advancing a doctorate to integrate the richness of Christian hope with the practice of psychology. In the first talk, she takes us on her personal journey and introduces the points of interaction between theology and psychology.In the second half of her talk, Leisa takes us into more detail into the applications and consequences of her new frameworks of hope. This is very significant and promising, as it lays the groundwork for a new paradigm in Christian growth as well as an enriched paradigm in counseling.

Who would guess that when Michael Jones' car broke down on the side of the road that it would be the beginning of a life-changing relationship?
Walking to the nearest house, Michael stumbles across a plantation style mansion on an estate named "Twelve Pillars." Charlie, the estate's caretaker, helps Michael get back on the road again and also strikes up a relationship with him - and along the way teaches Michael the secrets of success - the Twelve Pillars of Success - that have made the owner of the house, Mr. Davis, a wealthy and successful man.
This new novel by Jim Rohn and Chris Widener will inspire you to take your life to the next level and beyond. It will challenge and encourage you to become the best that you can be!
Twelve Pillars blends together the fundamental principles and teachings of Jim Rohn and The Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan, and with the help of Chris Widener, those principles have been weaved into a unique tapestry of a fictional account of three characters – Michael, Charlie and Mr. Davis.
