This short,
120 page book will allow you to learn the Twelve Pillars of Success and take
your life to the next level . . . to be your best. These twelve lessons are
timeless truths based on core principles of life and living. Not some vague
content that will be impossible to implement. Learn to effectively create a ‘vision’ of
what you can become, and live a life that you design.
The story
starts out with Michael Jones, down on luck and in a dead end job, having his car
stop running on his way to a sales call. He is so far out of town that there's no cell phone signal. After walking around a bend in the road, he comes across
a home right out of ‘Better Homes & Gardens’ with a huge gated entrance.
Behind that
gate was a chance encounter with a man who would help Michael start the process
to change his life. But he has to know how to change himself first.
Change begins with personal growth and moves on to living for health and wellness.
These are tough lessons to learn when you’ve had many years of bad habits built
up.
I really
enjoyed reading this book. Learning about these twelve pillars can help
anyone succeed. As Michael learns about these steps, we, the reader, learn the
lessons right along with him. If you’re not careful, you may just uncover a few secrets to
rediscovering those dreams you once had. The visions you created as a young
person with hopes for a bright future. All the plans that got put on hold or placed
on the back burner when life’s events seemed to get in the way (college loans, car
repairs, etc).
Quoting, “You cannot change
your destination
overnight, but you can your
direction overnight.”
“The major reason for setting a goal is for
what it makes of you to accomplish it.”
“Don’t join an easy crowd, you won’t grow. Go where
the expectations and demands to perform are high.”
Along with
steps to gaining better health, some topics covered in this story are:
relationships, goals, time management, keeping the right people
around you, why we need to learn-for-life, income relating to personal
development, communication, leadership, and leaving a
legacy. Can you really find a better list than that?
I ‘highly’ recommend this
book to anyone who wants to take his or her life to the next level . . . and beyond ! !
“The masses lead lives of
quiet desperation and
go to their graves with the
song still in them.”
