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.

We are often in overwhelm, constantly running on a leadership treadmill to simply stay in place and keep pace with demands. Thoughtful Leadership is an answer to this frenzy. It is a chance to invest the time to think through how you're leading and what you're doing before you actually do it, in order to be more effective. A chance to sit still, be present, reflect, think beyond your own needs and wants, focus on the big picture and get out of the weeds, look in the hard places, quiet the voices in your head, follow your gut and intuition...and lead - equipped to show up as your best self and achieve the greatest results. We counsel our clients to pause and think - to be still - before they take an action, even if only for a few moments. This pause allows them the opportunity to become proactive rather than reactive, and to attain the outcomes they truly seek for themselves, their businesses, and their lives. With The Power of Thoughtful Leadership you can take this pause and this time for yourself, and move closer towards realizing your goals and dreams. The Power of Thoughtful Leadership offers 101 thoughtful minutes that will help you align your work and life with your vision for your future.

Was he a wise determined young man who did everything he could to end his familys sad history of deception and dysfunction? Was he simply as an innocent victim of the twists and turns of life? Were the events in his life chance happenings, so all he could do was make the best of it? Or were they results of his choices - or Gods choices - or both? Could it be that what happens to us is meant to affect what happens in us? Could it be that the events of our lives are invitations from God to enter into partnership with Him? Do our choices and Gods choices somehow work in partnership to move us through the tough times into the next chapter of our life story?
