Book Description
The purpose of this book is to help you make better decisions in life based on what you truly desire and live a happy life. No matter what you do, you are always choosing, you are constantly deciding, and whether you agree or not wherever you are today is the result of choices you made, including deciding not to do something. I don’t blame you, we make the decisions based on the best information available to us at a given point, and there is no guarantee that the information will remain valid for the time you need to live with that decision, and that’s where regret comes in life. I wish I had this new information before, or I wanted to check those details earlier. How did I miss it? So you will agree with me on this. Making a decision purely based on facts and information available to you is not enough. You need to add an x-factor in this decision-making process. Something which will not change over time, something which will remain consistent irrespective of the change in the information. So here it is the x-factor, the three parameters I use when making any decision Love, Peace & Reach

Those That I Guard
Author: Stephen Johnson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 150351689X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A small-town Police Chief is shot. Although his wound isnt serious, it was inflicted by his sister. It seems an inexplicable act and yet, as the Chief tells his wife, people always have a reason and its what sets things in motion and once things are set in motion, whats going to happen is simply going to happen. A novel of superbly realized characters and compelling dialogue, Those That I Guard explores this notion of inevitability, how we set things in motion, often without intent, and how our acts modify, and in turn are modified by, the lives of others. Our deeds go on and on, another character explains, like spreading ripples on a pond, pregnant with opportunity for unexpected others. As events move toward a crisis, the characters struggle to make sense of how their lives are defined, not only by their own acts or choices, but by their relationships with those around them. Some succeed and some do not, but everything that happens follows from that opening gunshot.
