Download or read book Good Morning written by Seye Kuyinu and published by Seye Kuyinu. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will take you through the practical steps to boosting your motivation everyday. In the case where you don’t even have anything whatsoever to look up to, following some of these steps will put you in a vantage position to follow those things that you love. It always starts from somewhere. I hope it starts from this for you. I decided to put this book together not as a step 1 - do this, step two - do that. But instead, I help you understand the physiology or psychology(whichever applies) why key principles work. I am very proud of the knowledge I have accumulated in this topic through practice and I am willing and interested to go into even more advanced details through private consultations. Most of what I write about here are techniques and tips I learned from great minds like Benjamin P. Hardy, Arianna Huffington, Vishen Lakhiani, James Kwik and Laura Silva.

Book excerpt: Why does Mankind experience the same problems over and over again? Is he locked in a perpetual cycle doomed to repeat the same old mistakes regardless of his culture or time period? Throughout history there have been enlightened people and Masters who have told how to end this cycle. Were they wrong or have we misinterpreted their words? This spiritual adventure follows the lives of five characters who have taken it upon themselves to break this cycle of violence and destruction. Each of these characters: a Russian Parapsychologist, a South Korean Quantum Physicist, a West Texas Baptist Missionary in China, a California Psychologist, and an International Consultant from Dallas, holds a piece to the puzzle that will tell us how our worldview has trapped us in this endless spiral. Their personal experiences bring each of them to a higher consciousness and awareness that Mankind’s inevitable fate needs a detour. Through their commonality of belief, they meet and form a group whose objective is to answer the questions Mankind has always asked. Questions that must be answered if Man is to change his perspective and break the repetitive cycle of history that continues to lead back to war, poverty and suffering.

At Pines & Quill, a writer’s retreat in the Pacific Northwest, he and his fiancée, Emma Benton, are planning their lives together. He wants to go back into law enforcement. She plans to walk again. Georgio “The Bull” Gambino, head of a Seattle-based crime family, has a long reach. Like cockroaches, his minions infiltrate even the most inaccessible of places to do his bidding. With Seattle to the south, the Canadian border a stone’s throw to the north, and Bellingham Bay—a gateway to the Pacific Ocean—immediately to the west, Bellingham is the ideal location for the Gambino crime family to traffic drugs, weapons, and humans. But McPherson’s in Gambino’s way, which means he must be eliminated. The writers in residence at Pines & Quill include an Afghanistan War veteran, a professional photographer, a civil rights attorney, and a gourmet chef. But McPherson suspects that there’s more going on than the joy of creating plot twists. Is one of them conspiring murder outside the pages of their manuscript?

Download or read book Marvin Smalheiser Legacy with Tai Chi written by and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an accumulation of Master Marvin Smalheisers writing in the Tai Chi magazine from its inception in 1977 till 2016. Master Smalheiser was the editor and the owner of Tai Chi magazine, and he published only an article related to tai chi. He was a practitioner as well as a teacher. He lived what he thought was the best way of lifehelpful, humble, and down-to-earth. This book covers many aspects and benefits of tai chi as a martial art that Master Smalheiser felt to write about. Some of the topics are meditation, relaxation, self-defense, the types of tai chi, history, health, personal interviews with masters in the US and abroad, and more. It was Master Smalheisers wish to write books about tai chi, but his untimely death did not allow him to get the books done. I do not know much about tai chi; therefore, I gathered some of his writings and made this book to benefit all the tai chi practitioners as Master Smalheiser wanted. It is my wish that the tai chi enthusiasts will enjoy the book and remember Master Marvin Smalheiser.
