Book Description
Happiness. It is a hot commodity sought by millions of people. Some seek it in food, drugs, alcohol, or sex, and some even try to buy it. However, most people, especially women, look for happiness in relationships. We search for years, go from one man to another, and stay in loveless, abusive, or dysfunctional relationships, hoping to find this euphoric, drug-like sensation no matter how long it takes. But how much time do we have? Life is not guaranteed, yet we act as if we have a warranty, like if this life doesn't work or gets destroyed, we can return it for a brand-new one. That's a dangerous game we women play since there are no give-backs or do-over's. Once we're gone, we're gone. The only life game we should play is the board game. It's fantasy, and, at the end, if you lose or don't like how your "life" turned out you can start over. But this life --this is the game you don't play ... the game plays you.

The Infinite Game
Author: Simon Sinek
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735213526
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.

Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus the Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving. If we give hate, we will receive hate; if we give love, we will receive love; if we give criticism, we will receive criticism; if we lie we will be lied to; if we cheat we will be cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the game of life. Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov. 4:23.)
