Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone makes mistakes and the busier you are, the more mistakes you will make. The question however, is "How well and how effectively do you deal with the inevitable ups and downs of life?"Stumbling blocks are a normal part of life in the real world we live in. The bad news is that you cannot avoid these stumbling blocks in this journey of life. The good news however, is that you have the power of choice to decide whether you allow them to be hindrances to your progress or stepping stones to greater heights.Stumbling Blocks are all the things that seek to hinder, obstruct, interfere, undermine, deny, or counteract your progress in life. As the name goes, they are things or forces that seek to make you stumble or trip and possibly fall down or fall off you vision wagon. They are not necessarily meant to stop you unless of course you choose to let them stop you. They come to test your tenacity and resilience in your endeavours and pursuits of life. In this book “TURNING STUMBLING BLOCKS INTO STEPPING STONES”, you will learn how to benefit from your mistakes and how to remain positive in the face of adversity. You will also learn the difference between a positive and negative worldview. This is because there are two ways to look at the world; the Benevolent way or the Malevolent way. People with a malevolent or negative worldview take a victim stance, seeing life as a continuous succession of problems and a process of unfairness and oppression. They do not expect a lot and they do not get much. When things go wrong, they shrug their shoulders and passively accept that this is the way life is and there is not anything they can do to make it better. On the other hand, people with a benevolent or positive worldview see the world around them as filled with opportunities and possibilities. They believe that everything happens as part of a great process designed to make them successful and happy. They approach their lives, their work, and their relationships with optimism, cheerfulness, and a general attitude of positive expectations. They expect a lot and they are seldom disappointed.

After this life-changing tragedy, Tony made it his goal to help pre-retirees not repeat the mistakes his mom made as she transitioned from her career into retirement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-known author, psychologist ; and priest Fr. Benedict ; Groeschel draws on his own years of personal experiences in ; dealing with people's problems, tragedies and "darkness" as ; he offers help and guidance for any Christian troubled or ; burdened by life. If you are struggling with fear, anxiety, ; grief, loss of loved ones, hurt, anger or anything that ; makes life difficult or the road through it dark, then this ; book was written for you. Fr. Benedict offers practical ; suggestions on how to keep going and even grow with the ; help of God's grace, even when this help seems remote. ; The Christian response to the problem of evil and ; suffering began with the cross of Christ. Our answer is ; inseparable from the cross-from Jesus' own encounter with ; evil and his triumph over it. In this light, Fr. Benedict ; recalls some of our most frequently encountered sorrows and ; griefs: the failure of friends, financial and personal ; insecurity, the failure of some in the Church, our own ; inconsistent behaviors and weaknesses, and the death of ; loved ones. As we examine these painful experiences, he ; shows that we can find solutions in the Gospel and in the ; lives of saints, heroes, and very brave ordinary people. ; "Many guides have been written for people struggling with ; the mystery of evil. But each generation, each age has its ; own dark background in front of which the struggle to keep ; going must be worked out. In every age, men ask 'how am I ; going to go on to arise from darkness?' It is that which my ; book will address." Fr. Benedict Groeschel, ; CFR
