Book Cover & Preview Text
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin
Today is the first day of the best of your life. All you really have is today. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Yesterday is history, but today is a great day to become more than what you are. Today is a great day to be better than you were yesterday. Today is a great day to become fully alive. Today is the day the Lord has made. Today is a great day to become God’s best version of you. Today you must be intentional and predetermined to make your life count. TODAY. Twenty-four hours make a day, 168 hours make a week, 52 weeks make a year, and a few more years make one life. In other words, life is too short to live on accident. Many people are living life randomly, by chance. Many people have lost their will to become more than what they could be—maybe because of pain, people, or problems they have experienced. When you lose your will, you lose your way. The power of your will is the power of choice and the deliberate action or intention resulting from the exercise of this power. Abraham Maslow said, “If you deliberately set out to be less than you are capable, you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.” Too many unhappy people are walking around, faking the funk. If they would just exercise the willpower God has given them, they could move toward a more fulfilling life. With your will, you can expect, anticipate, dream, envision, hope, and look forward to a better you and a better tomorrow.
The Will to Be reaffirms the invincibility of the human spirit. It’s a book not meant to be read only, but a book to be experienced, explored, and applied. This book is not just a recommended read, it’s a required read for those who are trying to live out their passion and become more than they are. The power of your will is one of the most powerful gifts you possess. You must have the will and be willing to become an improved version of you. I believe you can develop and evolve into the work of art that God created you to be. There’s more to you than meets the eye: far more potential, much more definition, and significantly more capacity.
