Perdido en el Señor
by Richard G ChaberCaminas sin rumbo y perdido en un bosque interminable lleno de belleza, oscuridad y desesperación, y encuentras un bote de pesca averiado. Estás extremadamente cansado de intentar conseguir el camino que te conduzca a la salida, así que te refugias en el bote averiado y a medida que observas el sutil empuje del rio corriente abajo, reflexionas sobre si realmente existe una salida y si algún día la encontrarás. Has escuchado que si en realidad encuentras la salida, algo muy especial y esclarecedor sucederá. Una especie de tesoro que te intriga y despierta tu interés, pero el bosque te proporciona algo que puedes ver y sentir, pues no estás seguro si la salida “rendirá sus frutos” como te han prometido. El camino hacia el tesoro luce desalentador, pero tú tienes el mapa y la llave. Billones de personas han oído hablar de Él pero muchos no buscan conocerle. Pronuncian su nombre a diario pero muchos no han hablado con Él, otros hablan con Él con bastante frecuencia. Él produce confusión y a la vez es muy brillante, incluso cuando es odiado, Él ama aún más. Él conoce tus momentos más íntimos y comprende tus dificultades, y espera pacientemente a que le digas “hola”. La ciencia nunca ha podido refutar la existencia de Dios, así que si uno no cree, debe estar abierto a la posibilidad porque Él nos da pruebas de Su existencia todos los días, sin embargo, no las vemos. Los cristianos se han convertido en nuestros peores enemigos y ha llegado el momento de restructurar la palabra de Dios y de hacer que Jesús sea “buena onda” otra vez. Realmente existe un Cielo y contrario a la creencia popular, no hace falta un esfuerzo complicado y agotador para poder entrar. Todos somos seres humanos de carne y hueso y no podemos aspirar a ser como Jesús, tal y como Él claramente lo ha dicho, pues sus formas son más elevadas. No podemos estar a la altura de sus estándares y no se espera que lo estemos. Hay una razón por la que podemos discernir en
Pérdidas, sorprendentes pérdidas: Cuentos y relatos de valor en tiempos de angustia
by Edith NavaNo se pierde con las pérdidas. En la vida los cambios son constantes, pero pocas veces advertimos que al modificarse las circunstancias se generan pérdidas y ganancias. En este movimiento perenne a veces uno sufre la pérdida de un ser querido o la falta de algo que uno valoraba; un empleo, una relación amorosa, quizá la salud. La reacción natural es sentir tristeza, enojo, dolor, pero en medio de todos esos sentimientos uno debe serenarse y reflexionar sobre lo ocurrido. Uno puede quedarse ahí atorado o actuar iniciando un proceso de sanación. El primer paso es aferrarse a la vida, al amor, viendo hacia adelante. En este libro encontrará historias que lo ayuden a reflexionar, a entender que si bien una pérdida no es fácil de aceptar, es parte de la vida y uno debe valerse de la inteligencia para entender lo ocurrido y seguir viviendo, ya que lo que importa no es lo que a uno le ocurre, sino lo que uno hace con lo que le ocurre en la vida. Edith Nava dice que toda pérdida conlleva una ganancia. En ocasiones el beneficio no es tan claro, pero quien vive el duelo debe a través de la reflexión encontrarle sentido a la experiencia vivida.

Perché parli alle farfalle ?
by Magali Dubreuil Bourguet******** NON ABBANONDARE MAI TE STESSO ********** Una cosa peggiore del sentirsi abbandonati e abbandonare se stessi… Un romanzo irrequieto, che non ti lascerà indifferente, una lezione di vita, una promessa di speranza e resilienza per tutte le persone che vivono una relazione tossica, e un omaggio all’amicizia. Che tu sia un bruco o già una farfalla, ti invito a condividere la trasformazione di Charlie “(…) Potrei continuare a lungo. Starete di certo pensando che se sono consapevole di tutto questo, allora perché rimango? Perché lo amo, penso, perché siamo una famiglia, perché insieme abbiamo costruito molto, perché credo di avere bisogno di lui, perché mi sento persa senza di lui, perché non so fare nulla, perché dove andrei e per far cosa? Perché non so né come né da dove iniziare... E perché ho paura, paura di ciò che potrebbe fare, perché mi aggrappo ai bei ricordi, perché credo e spero che ce ne saranno altri e perché spero che un giorno cambierà... (..)”

Perché essere felici è importante: Scopri come il potere della gioia darà energia alla tua vita.
by Peter Jennings"Perché essere felici è importante" presenta interviste fatte in Canada, Stati Uniti, Asia, Europa e Australia, ognuna delle quali rivela all'autore cosa significa la felicità per loro e perché è importante. I lettori conosceranno anche dottori di ricerca internazionali che stanno studiando attivamente la scienza della psicologia positiva (cioè la felicità), così come premiati umoristi canadesi come Allan Fotheringham e Arthur Black che condividono con l'autore quanto sia importante la felicità nella loro vita. Questo manoscritto completo presenta Peter Jennings in conversazione con 37 persone intriganti da tutto il mondo. Questi includono John Robbins, erede dell'impero Baskin Robbins (che racconta a Peter di aver rifiutato la sua eredità e poi di aver perso i risparmi di una vita nello scandalo Bernie Madoff, ma di aver comunque esibito una visione positiva di felice perseveranza ai rovesci della vita); Roko Belic, regista californiano nominato all'Oscar per il pluripremiato film "Happy"; la dottoressa Christine Carter, sociologa e specialista in psicologia positiva all'Università di Berkeley ("Peter, sei un esperto di felicità"); il tastierista dei Rolling Stones Chuck Leavell (che ha condiviso con Peter la gioia che prova nel lavorare con il suo amico ex presidente Jimmy Carter su questioni ambientali fondamentali); la leggenda della Major League Baseball Shawn Green; la celebre super-modella e donna d'affari Monika Schnarre; il giornalista umorista della rivista Time Joel Stein; l'84enne vignettista di Playboy Doug Sneyd; Leo Bormans dal Belgio, autore del rispettato "World Book of Happiness" (che spiega cosa c'è dietro le sue discussioni con gli esperti mondiali); e molto altro.
The Perception Myth: A Guide to Challenging Your Personal Myths and Discovering Your Inner Greatness
by Brad WheelisThere are millions of self-help books that all promise the secret to obtaining a happy life-a successful career, lots of money, loving relationships, a defined and firm sense of morality; whatever could possibly define "happiness" for one person. But nothing is possibly more subjective than happiness. Everyone thinks of happiness as something different, but what they think may not actually be true. Brad Wheelis struggled with an incorrect idea of happiness for years, held back by his perceived flaws, low self-esteem, and societal pressure to be perfect. Eventually, he realized that he had been chasing the wrong ideal.Today, Wheelis believes that a truly happy life is impossible. No one can be happy all of the time. But you can strive to achieve fulfilled lives that contain both happiness and sadness by making a series of changes: how your preconceived notions of fulfillment differ from realistic goals, what you want to accomplish for yourself, and how you can make those ideas come true. Making a conscious decision to transform your perceptions of both trivial and significant aspects of your life, one at a time, will lead you to your own kind of happiness and inner greatness. The Perception Myth combines personal memoir with a step-by-step approach to happiness for anyone who is afraid or does not know how to take risks. Fulfillment is around the corner; you just need to figure out how to reach it.
Perception Beyond Our 5 Senses
by SosoEverything we do in this life is nothing but a transition, the transition only stops the moment you begin to identify yourself with something. Unconditional love and true happiness do exist if one stops seeking them elsewhere, as they both lie within us all. A miracle only seems like a miracle to those whose visions are clouded by life's illusions. Who you truly are will take you to where boundaries do not exist while your ego will create boundaries through your life with limited possibilities. Heaven and Hell are not geographical places but what you manifest within yourself (blissfulness or chaos). Words spoken have no reality, no meaning, no sense and yet you have created meaning to them, your whole life is based on these words and you suffer them in every single way. Birds were created to fly and without their wings, they are lost. Humans were created to be loved and without love, they are lost. It is only through love and compassion that we are able to blossom. It is only through love that we are able to reach the depth of ourselves. It is only through love that we are able to concur anything. At the end of it all, we will all eventually reach a place within us where love is a state of mind and a state of being. A ladder is required to step up to this place and climb up the stairs step by step. Without the ladder, one will collapse and crumble. We truly do carry messages through energy force for each other to figuring out the core of who we are but this is often overlooked as most people are busy trying to either teach you something or seek something from you, completely missing the chance to learn something about who they truly are through others.
