When the World Leaves You Behind by vummpp

When the World Leaves You Behind isn't here to sugarcoat the truth-it's here to rip the blindfold off. This book is for the ones who have felt abandoned, who have learned the hard way that life doesn't play fair. It's a raw and unfiltered exploration of the realities we all face but rarely talk about. Through a mix of essays, reflections, and poetry, this book will take you deep into the truths that shape us: love that isn't enough, loneliness that teaches, pain that transforms, and the undeniable fact that the world owes us nothing. This isn't a self-help guide-it's a wake-up call. Some pages will comfort you, others will wreck you, but all of them will make you feel.

The Wings of a Butterfly by DavidJamesLeslie

This is the enlightening and motivating story of two young people searching for the meaning of life and self-discovery as they climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. It is a philosophical examination and discussion of the pondering queries of our time: • How did we get to where we are today and how do we go on? • What should we do with our lives and why should we help others? • What then, should we do and how can anyone know what is best? • How can we make the most of our time and how can we be a "Good" person? It is a treatise underscoring the profound realisation of the monumental significance that random events and chance meetings and interactions play in the random ebb and flow of the time and space continuum as we veer and turn on our twisted path through life. It is a contemplation of wants and desires, of choices and opportunities, of decisions and timing, of expectations and responsibilities, of adversity and courage and the changes that we go through on our metamorphic journey from caterpillar to butterfly on our unending quest for meaning and happiness in our lives. There are insightful and thought-provoking quotations from philosophers such as: Albert Camus, Decartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, George Santayana. There are evoking images from poetry and modern songs, from artists such as: Robert Frost, Leonard Cohen, T.S. Eliot, William Shakespeare, Lou Reed, The Beatles, Pink Floyd. There are literary selections from writers such as: Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, Fedor Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, Eugene Ionesco, Franz Kafka.

Darkness & Light: The Philosophical Path of an Eclectic Pagan by JAGreene37

There is no telling exactly how life will unfold as it will. My journey seems as if it has just begun, but I understand that my journey has already taken many of years for it to unfold as it has to this point. This is only a start to a new path for me to travel. It does not render all previous paths useless, but rather, it only closes the book on one in order to open and unveil a new one in return. It is yet a continuation of a previous story, but the beginning and end of a story in of itself. It only yields itself to the true nature of the story, which is the waving in and out of all stories intertwined with each other with each passing moment. I shall reveal the stories that are hidden and guide the reader to understand the intricate stories revealed in my lifetime, at least one in particular that I find particularly intriguing. It is a story that I have searched for all of my life, and it is a story that is only beginning to take shape. I leave this note in peace. - Jon

Positive Thinking by: Amit Abraham by ___ishey

Do you wish to achieve perfection, both in your relationship with yourself as well as with others? I know that you know but you do not know that you really do not know - get to know your 'self While reading this book each one of you will say "I know". No one knows himself better than the individual himself but how truthful are you about yourself? The biggest liar is the one who lies to himself. Do you really think you are the individual you know? Think and then think about what you have thought. Is it what you really thought? Ask your conscience because in this world there is nothing more honest and sincere than one's conscience. The two great movers of the human mind are the desire of good and the fear of evil. One should have a desire to be good and do well. Desire is the key to motivation. It is the key to develop a healthy personality and a positive attitude towards oneself and others. Let us begin by creating a desire to be good, to feel good about ourselves and others and a desire to analyse ourselves honestly. The gradual development of this attitude will surely help you take a big leap towards personality development.

Anchored To Hope by Robbymak

In everything we face, every predicament that comes our way, there is always two ways of looking at it. Circumstances come for a reason. There are meant to make us grow, to make us become better and blossom into more. They don't come so that we shrink to less but so that we become more splendid. To be more extraordinary. To use every moment to fill yourself up.We are not helpless as God's people, neither are we vulnerable to the wiles of the enemy. It's the reason we can count it all joy when we go through diverse tests: we have what it takes to go through the fire and not be burnt, and go through the waters and not drown.
