Happiness, prosperity, success and an accomplished life are the glorious dreams that every person desires to fulfil. Once you start to move ahead with positivity in your life, your surroundings begin to change accordingly to fully imbibe the positivity and put you on the path of happiness. All of this becomes possible because you are undoubtedly more courageous, braver, and more impactful than you think yourself to be. This is not just a motivational thought. This magical power indeed exists within you and stays with you forever. There is a very thin line between success and failure and that difference lies in your thinking and attitude. You can do everything in a better way if your thinking is positive. A person should not resign the desire to succeed till the final moment. One should always remember that just like a key is made before the lock, similarly, God carves a path to successfully achieve the triumph that you strive for. Imaginative ideas inspire positivity within a person that enables the person to feel happy and content. A positive life, with its extraordinary powers, has the ability to transform an ordinary person's life, fill his heart and mind with enthusiasm, and, enable him to accomplish the great achievements that he strives for with absolute ease.
"The loss of a first child sends chilling tremors through a young family. The two parents try to rebuild, with visions of creating a large, happy Catholic family. Yet the universe lurches and takes the next oldest child, and yet the next, just a few years apart. Such devastating losses are unimaginable. It is even harder to imagine coping with them in an era of emotional sterility. During the 1950s and '60s there were few outward displays of mourning, no understanding of the five stages of grief, no support groups. The Bernards had to deal with their cataclysmic losses in a way that would be acceptable to the other middle-class families of the time-privately, and silently. Ollie Ollie In Come Free explores the emtional toll unexpressed grief can have on a young child. In the unfiltered voice of a child and adolescent, author Anne Bernard Becker offers a touching insight into her own buried grief, loneliness and survivor's guilt."--Back cover.
