People have experiences. The way mine happened was so clear and answered a lot of questions for me. It has to work in all areas of everyday life, right? I found out it worked in ALL areas of everyday life, and I know it can do the same for you. It's real! There are many stories of things that happened to me as well as others around me in various jobs and careers, marriage, friendships, safety and protection, life challenges, crossing cultural barriers, etc. They all demonstrate how so many surprises and unexpected rewards can come by seeing and responding through a new lens. There are many jewels not found elsewhere, to give you the keys to unlock your own stories and hidden treasures. They may provide some smiles and wows, but more importantly, help you discover how to make them work for you. It is a personalized journey, and things may unfold that you could not have planned or imagined. You are a unique individual with special gifts and talents that were given to benefit you and impact others. That means no matter what position you are in, or whether you think you are good or worthy enough, your life can change dramatically, and it can count! And if things are going well, there is always room to expand. If you read this book, you will know those aren't just nice words, but rather, very real!Carefree-Deep Despair-New LifeI thought country-club living at home in Long Island during college, with no job or accountability, was the perfect life. Then came a trip to Africa during the Congo revolutions in a small search and rescue plane with my pilot uncle. I faced imminent death four times, and a girl I arranged to go on the other plane died. That started a 9-year downhill spiral.Back in the States, it was one illness and surgery after another, and two more knocks on death's door. Things got so bad, I had a brick wall built in front of my New York City brownstone bedroom window, without permission. My psychological report said: "Stephen is in urgent need of help. He could self-destruct at any moment." My brother Michael had left home totally stressed out. When he returned for a visit a completely different person, I was torn between jealousy and curiosity. I accepted an invite to visit him in Los Angeles. There, the most shocking awakening happened. Instantly, I felt amazing, and knew: ALL IS WELL. And my illnesses were gone!Now what? When I begrudgingly accepted a restaurant server job, I never expected it would lead to a successful career in hospitality and sales. I had opportunities to connect with top-of-the-world people. Life expanded in all areas, as I learned to expect the unexpected, along with swallowing my pride. A job associate once asked me, "How come things happen to you that don't happen to us?" The answers are what this book is all about.All that and a happy marriage. Okay, Becky proposed, so who's perfect? During our 35th anniversary vow renewal, I surprised her by proposing on one knee with a diamond ring, as our family and friends cheered. She said YES!There are jewels in this book that can transform your life!
