People Have Problems and I Can Do Something About It

Book excerpt: The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Robert Byrne I have officiated many funerals in which I and the family communicate that we are not here to simply mourn the death but to celebrate the life of the deceased. Have you ever attended such a memorial service? One in which no one struggles to come up with something great to say. This person impacted, influenced and inspired, others everywhere and anywhere they went. In the movie Braveheart William Wallace states that, "Every man dies, not every man really lives." Our U.S. Army encourages, Be all you can be. You are more important in the lives of others than you probably realize but you can most definitely increase your impact, your value and significance. I want to live a life worth celebrating. I hope to do that very thing with every page of this book by inspiring you, causing you to want and do the same. Page one of chapter one may begin somewhat controversial for you, then again it may not, but please, read on.
