The Power Of Serenity And Peace Success System: The Truth To Finding Happiness in Today's Stressed-out World (ISBN 9780979408724) - We come into the world with an innocent mind and an unblemished spirit. We have no prejudice, no preconceived notions, no anger or fear. During our lives the pressures and opinions of others cloud our eyes, mind and spirit. Stress and anxiety, as well growing rudeness in society are piled on us and weigh us down, suffocating us. We are bombarded by bad news in the media twenty-four hours a day about crashing economies, stories of genocide and racial prejudice. Not to mention the ongoing threat of terrorism.
I developed this Success System to help you find the truth that will lead you to serenity, harmony, lasting happiness and peace. And in the present day, happiness, serenity and peace are elusive treasures!
This success system by Keith A. Shaw contains valuable and indispensable lessons that outline how you can build your power — control negative emotions, learn the valuable skill of empathy, use the principle of pay it forward, become truly happy. Included are inspirational quotes and teachings from Mother Theresa, Carlos Santana, Gandhi, Confucius and more! And there are practical and effective exercises to reinforce what you learn: meditation for your mind, body and spirit, stress relief exercises, ways to build your wisdom and knowledge and more!
Here are a few examples…
1) What Is The Truth To Finding Happiness? – learn the secret to happiness and peace,
2) The Battle Between The Two Masters Within You – and why you can not serve them both,
3) How To Build Your Spiritual Power– using the tools of consciousness, wisdom and knowledge to find the power within you,
4) Realizing Selfless Love – and how love is the beauty of your soul,
5) The Law Of Service – and why the principle of “pay it forward” is good for all,
6) How To Find Your Life As Perfect – and why people never figure it out,
7) How To Realize Perfect Serenity and Peace – and why enlightenment and knowledge are better than violence.
You may not be able to change the world. But YOU CAN GAIN THE POWER TO CHANGE YOU. No matter what happened in your past or what your current circumstances are you CAN start on a journey to take and expand control of your life. The lessons and exercises for your mind and spirit will create a new cycle that will positively improve your life path.
