Reflections on Lifes Challenges For many of us, life is a tough and lonely road to journey on. At times, we seem to be struggling for a sense of direction and find it extremely difficult to decide on what path to take on the road to personal happiness and success. The things that are happening in our daily lives seem to be overwhelming us to the point that sometimes we do not know what to do, who to turn to or where to run to, so as to solve our challenges. Our goal is of course personal happiness, and emotional and physical survival, which at times seems to be always just over the horizon. There are many successes and challenges taking place in our lives, which work to affect us in a major fashion, whether it is in a positive or negative way. What this book attempts to do is to reflect on some of these issues and put them in context for you the reader. In doing so, my sincere desire is for you to analyze what is happening in your life and help develop the aptitude to live the life that God has created you to live. Laurence Carter
