"Design Your Future", Live Your Vision

Hispanic Times Magazine, Dec, 1996 by Bob Kendall

This book is indeed a mind-stretching landmark book. It helps the reader understand himself, and reaches out to assist in self-fulfillment, and ultimately to self-actualization.

The book begins with VISION, which is of course the guide to your future. Each individual must envision his or her own thing, and eliminate mental restraints. By affirming values, and catching a vivid vision of the person we want to become, of the things that mean the most to us, we can proceed to make this vision a remarkable reality.

Christopher Morley defined success this way, the author points out, "There is only one success -- to be able to spend your life in your own way."

Excellence is wisely defined: "not being better than anyone else, but being the best YOU can be."

Personalizing success is what this fascinating book, full of valuable insights, is all about. A vision gives zest to one's life, and it guides you through life like a script in your own life drama unfolding every day.

The author insists you don't need to plan for an uncertain future, you can DESIGN your future as you desire it. As one creates his or her own vision, of what they would like to become, it often helps to have good role models.

Step by step, the author guides the reader, on how weaknesses can be changed into strengths. For example, OBSERVATION: Practice observing and the individual's powers of observation will be improved. MEMORY: The best way to improve the memory is to make associations that will link an individual to the thing he or she wants to recall. THINKING: The more we think, the better we can become in the process of thinking. CREATIVITY: This is another kind of thinking. Curiosity, and constantly seeking explanations generates CREATIVITY: This is a remarkable book, that is destined to become a classic in positive thinking books.
