Last July, I resigned as pastor of a church I served for three years. I was a United Church of Christ pastor for eleven years at three churches. I got tired of serving persons who were stuck and didn’t want to grow and change. Shortly after resigning, I was browsing in a bookstore when a book with the title Why Your Life Sucks and what you can do about it by Alan H. Cohen caught my eye. I purchased it and read it. It had quite a positive effect on my life, and I highly recommend it to persons who are interested in a better life.
Now, over a year later, my life is much better and does not suck. However, I am rereading the book as there is always room for improvement and I am in the business of helping other persons to have lives that don’t suck.
A line caught my attention this morning, “You can live from choice rather than default.” I think this is one of the most important principles that I teach. Most persons blindly go about their life on automatic pilot living a life they were programmed to live. I help persons wake-up to who they really are, make conscious choices about what they want their life to be and develop strategies for how to live that life. Check out my website for more information.
Excel,
Steve
