The Pursuit of What Matters by JJCharles

The Pursuit of What Matters
by JJCharles, author of various books
http://bestsellerpicks.blogspot.com

Day in and day out, we strive to keep up with our families and friends
We want the big car, the suburban home and lifestyle, the new gadgets
What has life come to mean these days?
Despite our affluence, our moods are darkened.
We worry about everything as if we could change something
Core values are long abandoned. Mistrust is everywhere.
We compete against others and ourselves. Happiness is hard to come
We seem to forget that people's ability to act on behalf of
What matters to them is fundamental to happiness

It is time to get out of this false sense of comfort and security
It is time to explore our environments and appreciate the small things
That are keen on bringing the most joy to us
It is time to fall in love once again with our childhood games and stories
It is time to realize that happiness is not a given. It is a goal that can set us free
But pursuing what truly matters is worth the effort

Book synopsis (provided by the author):

Determination, dedication, hard work, the "can do" American spirit, and hope of a new season of change inspired this woman to sit on the bus. Rosa Parks sat so all the others could stand up. She remained seated despite all the stares and bad comments. Today, we find a lot of Rosa Parks in all socio-economic strata. We find the hard-working men and women all over the country.
