All of us have struggles and trials in life. The question is: Will we let our past hurts control us, or will we use them to grow and to help others? My hope is that this is not just another self-help book to read. My hope is it will be a change in the direction of your life-a new beginning in which you will be helping yourself to live a more satisfying and happy life. My thought is that through changing yourself, you can influence the world around you for the better. If you can think you can change, you are just a new thought away from a new you. Your money is not the problem; your car or your friends or your addictions are not the problem. Your thoughts and feelings about them are the problems. No one can do the work for you. For the most part, you must do it for yourself. The questions at the end of each chapter are easy, and they work if you put in the effort and are honest with yourself. Remember this: there is an answer. As long as you are alive, you have the opportunity to change and to grow. Even life's struggles are an opportunity. The bible tells us: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 The most important tool for change is honesty. It is the secrets that we keep from ourselves and others that control us. My goal is for you to get a better handle on your life and to develop insights to help you understand why you do what you do. From these insights you can develop goals and a plan to truly live life rather than letting life's circumstances control you. Too many of us spend years of our lives controlled by fears or past hurts and anger. The question is: "Are you going to listen to your emotions or deal with the truth?" This is about becoming a victor in life rather than a victim. It is about gaining that peace. It is about changing your attitude toward yourself and others. It is about changing the way that you think about things. How we think controls our lives. Developing these insights has made me a better and emotionally healthier person. This leads me to the question: Are you living life, or is life living you?
