Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acton Academy: The one-room schoolhouse for the twenty-first century Seeking a 21st century education for their children, Laura and Jeff Sandefer jumped off the track of conventional school and created a new model for learning. They created Acton Academy as a better school where learning is made practical and meaningful and where students begin a lifelong Hero's Journey to discover their true potential. Using the Socratic method, elements of the Montessori approach and state-of-the-art online instruction, Acton guides students toward independence and self-motivation, helping them find the courage to grow into the person they were meant to be. Soon, other parents wanted to start their own Acton Academies, and less than a decade from the seven founding students' first Socratic discussion, Acton has spread around the world. Courage to Grow is the Sandefer family's personal quest for their own children's education and happiness. Their story also contains a path for other parents who want to give their children the freedom to take ownership of their own education and to start their own school. The treasure at the end is much larger than Laura ever expected--a quickly growing network of dedicated, curious young people and parents who are not afraid to set them free.

This book is not only for those who have already retired or those who are about to retire, but also for those who still are far from a retirement age. Arent we all adding more birthdays and growing older! In any case, we dont need to feel old. In this book, you will find inspirational thoughts on what aging means to all of us -- the young, the middle aged, and those who are in their later years. Since we have one life to live, we should make of the rest of it the most and best of it. Indeed, retirement is not retirement from life, but the beginning of a new life with new opportunities for meaning and significance. Many books have been written on retirement. Some of them focus on understanding Social Security, Medicare benefits, insurance options, and investment portfolios. Some others target the tips for best housing solutions, best travel and vacation bargains, best shopping deals, and the like. This book is different. Its direct focus is to show how even more important the other aspects of life are -- aspects such as general physical-mental-emotional-spiritual well-being, creative pursuits, social support, deep faith and sense of purpose. It offers enlightening explanations on how to enjoy life to the fullest no matter what our circumstances are, and it provides practical spiritual guidance for the ways of staying alive and blessed all our life. With its insightful reflections, uplifting propositions, warm style, captivating quotations, and engaging personal reflections and practical resolutions, Your New Adventure: Make the Most of the Rest of Your Life invites you to make the most of your retirement and life, and offers you the suggestions that you wont get from your financial and professional advisors. Such life wisdom will help you create the conditions for a happier retirement and a fuller life than all other material means -- important they might be -- can possibly offer. Aging well is living well all our life so that we are able to say, How good it was to be here! I truly have lived the fullness of life by being what my Creator meant me to be.

Download or read book Confidence written by Ian Tuhovsky and published by Ian Tuhovsky. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever considered how many opportunities you have missed and how many chances you have wasted by lacking self-confidence when you need it most? Have you ever given up on your plans, important goals, and dreams not because you just decided to focus on something else, but simply because you were too SCARED or hesitant to even start, or stick up to the plan and keep going? Are you afraid of starting your own business or asking for a promotion? Petrified of public speaking, socializing, dating, taking up new hobbies, or going to job interviews? Can you imagine how amazing and relieving it would feel to finally obtain all the self-esteem needed to accomplish things you've always wanted to achieve in your life? Finally, have you ever found yourself in a situation where you simply couldn’t understand WHY you acted in a certain way, or why you kept holding yourself back and feeling all the bad emotions, instead of just going for what’s the most important to you? Due to early social conditioning and many other influences, most people on this planet are already familiar with all these feelings. WAY TOO FAMILIAR! I know how it feels, too. I was in the same exact place. And then, I found the way! It's high time you did something about it too because, truth be told, self-confident people just have it way easier in every single aspect of life! From becoming your own boss or succeeding in your career, through dating and socializing, to starting new hobbies, standing up for yourself or maybe finally packing your suitcase and going on this Asia trip you promised yourself decades ago… All too often, people fail in these quests as they aren’t equipped with the natural and lasting self-confidence to deal with them in a proper way. Confidence is not useful only in everyday life and casual situations. Do you really want to fulfill your wildest dreams, or do you just want to keep chatting about them with your friends, until one day you wake up as a grumpy, old, frustrated person? Big achievements require brave and fearless actions. If you want to act bravely, you need to be confident. Along with lots of useful, practical exercises, this book will provide you with plenty of new information that will help you understand what confidence problems really come down to. And this is the most important and the saddest part, because most people do not truly recognize the root problem, and that’s why they get poor results. Lack of self-confidence and problems with unhealthy self-esteem are usually the reason why smart, competent, and talented people never achieve a satisfying life; a life that should easily be possible for them. In this book, you will read about: -How, when, and why society robs us all of natural confidence and healthy self-esteem. -What kind of social and psychological traps you need to avoid in order to feel much calmer, happier, and more confident. -What “natural confidence” means and how it becomes natural. -What “self-confidence” really is and what it definitely isn’t (as opposed to what most people think!). -How your mind hurts you when it really just wants to help you, and how to stop the process. -What different kinds of fear we feel, where they come from, and how to defeat them. -How to have a great relationship with yourself. -How to use stress to boost your inner strength. -Effective and ineffective ways of building healthy self-esteem. -Why the relation between self-acceptance and stress is so crucial. -How to stay confident in professional situations. -How to protect your self-esteem when life brings you down, and how to deal with criticism and jealousy. -How to use neuro-linguistic programming, imagination, visualizations, diary entries, and your five senses to re-program your subconscious and get rid of “mental viruses” and detrimental beliefs that actively destroy your natural confidence and healthy self-esteem.
Download or read book A Marriage to An Asexual Bisexual written by Liam Edward and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poems takes you on a journey through Liam's mind as he processes the broken marriage from his wife who was the love of his life. Liam's wife came out as asexual and bisexual which confused Liam as to what his role was in the relationship. When Liam's wife came out, they were already separated for about nine months Liam's wife asked him to move back in and work on the marriage. There were some hurdles to overcome though. When his wife came out as asexual and bisexual, his wife also told him that she was sexually roleplaying on Twitter using characters from Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway plays and movies. Liam told his wife that he was willing to work with her coming out as asexual and bisexual because he loved his wife very much but was not willing to accept her sexually roleplaying while being married. His wife agreed to stop the sexual roleplay, so Liam moved back in to work on the marriage. A few months later while cuddling in bed at night, Liam saw his wife sexually roleplaying on Twitter and told his wife the next morning that she was cheating on him. Things went south real fast. After Liam confronted his wife about the cheating, his wife kicked him out of the house. Liam spent that weekend scared, confused, and confiding in the bottle. Liam relapsed after being sober for some time. Liam went into rehab where he met with his therapist on a weekly basis. His therapist challenged Liam to journal every day to get his thoughts and emotions out so that he could process them. The journaling led into writing poems. This book, A Marriage to an Asexual Bisexual, is a journey of Liam's confusions, resentments, anger, and concerns over a period of about thirty days. These poems in the book are presented in chronological order as they were written over those thirty days. It's a journey that has allowed Liam to process everything that has happened and everything that was presently going on in his life. Liam is now in the process of writing a second book of poems, A Marriage to Recovery. Liam supports the LGBTQIA community and feels that people should be allowed to be who they are and treated equally. This book is not meant to be used as propaganda against the community, but instead, it's a book about the confusion that the other half endures. Liam and his wife were married for fourteen years. Liam saw a big change in his wife about seven years into the marriage and was unhappy with the marriage for the last seven years. Liam often said to his wife, "You don't love me. You just love the idea of me." As it turns out, Liam was right seven years ago.
