Poems to live By
Description When life is demanding we all need someone or something to turn to, this is where people often go wrong. Some people become involved in substance abuse because they are seeking a change, to try and change the way they feel. Others achieve great success but there is still emptiness inside. Traditionally this would have been fulfilled by religion. But this is not a choice for many people today. In order to create change it has to come from within. The best way forward is to develop principles on which you base your daily life. These are guiding principles. This is where this book comes in.
It will help you to:
- Live courageously
- Enjoy the present while remembering the past
- Come to terms with mortality
- Appreciate intimations that life is more than it seems
