houndsgood Posted in I am not one to read a lot of motivational books, not that I am not into bettering myself, but many of them set out to whip you into shape when you are whipped quite enough from your day to day life. We all have our own stuff to deal with, but on top of it it is hard to look at the news sometimes. Sometimes it is the actual content of what is going on in the world, and another big part of it is the sensationalism used to portray it and the inability to unplug sometimes with all of the emerging media. It is hard to know sometimes if the world is really going to heck in a handbasket, or we are really suffering from a case of “TMI” (too much information).
Afterall, movie stars of the silver screen partied just as much as stars today, but they listened to publicists and certain parts of their life just wasn’t printed.
Life Inspirations Volume I is a book of inspirational poetry written by writer, musician, and minister Ozell Adkins. Although it is not a “self help” book per se, the intent of the poetry is to act as inspirational letters to meditate on, consider, and to convey a message of hope and encouragement, that God’s purpose for your life is greater than any problem you may have. Many people go through times where they just want to give up, and Mr. Adkins wrote this collection when he himself was at a turning point. His wish is to inspire people in a gentle way to “reach beyond” into the next stage of your life.
I wish Mr. Adkins the best of luck with his book. There certainly is a need for more support and encouragement towards eachother, and it is nice to see someone that has their heart set on encouraging others. This book was recommended to me, and I will surely be taking a closer look at it.
