If At First You Don't Succeed...

    How many times have you thought about quitting, about giving up?  One might hear, “It’s too difficult.” or “I’m just not smart enough” or “No one can do that.”
 
    The truth is that everyone confronts obstacles, pretty much on a daily basis.  Yes, many of life’s challenges are large and burdensome, but it doesn’t mean that they cannot be overcome.  By definition, life is a hard and sometimes painful experience, but by solving our problems one day at a time and by conquering the little fears and barriers that we face, we prepare our selves for the larger and more challenging of life’s problems.  Think of a surgeon who operates on a heart to save the life of a little boy.  Was that doctor born with all the knowledge of anatomy?  Did he just inherit the skill of a surgeon?  Did he just walk into a hospital and be hired because of his good looks?  No, he studied hard, he practiced, he spent years in school and college often spending hours studying and cramming for exams while others partied or went out for a good time.
  
    This is one of the laws of nature.  Good things come to those who work hard for them.
 
    PERSEVERANCE:   To continue in a course of action - to persist in or remain constant to a purpose, idea or task, despite  counterinfluences, opposition, discouragement or obstacles.

Bonus Question:
Who Said: “I have not yet begun to fight?”



Answer to Bonus Question:  John Paul Jones, a naval leader of the Revolutionary War, in his reply to the British ship Serapis on September 23, 1779.  When a British commander asked him to surrender his badly crippled ship during a battle, he allegedly replied, “I have not yet begun to fight”—and compelled the British ship to surrender.

 Choosing Your Path of Life.  This book is simply, about enhancing your quality of life. For each phase of life you enter, the quality of your life should strengthen, not weaken. It should increase, not decrease. It should expand the positive features and attributes of your life, not shrink or contract them.
     This book is about helping everyone find the path to a better Quality of Life. We, at TeenSoulPower, want to help you to identify what makes a happy and healthy life. More importantly, we want to help you to make a fulfilling life. Most of us think we know how to do this, but the truth is that if you do not know how then your life is in free-float. It is moving ahead - but may not be making any progress, it may be aimless, drifting, with neither rhyme nor reason, with neither purpose nor goals, set adrift and vulnerable to the whims of fate.   Available at Smashwords:  $1.99.

The Marijuana Highway:   A MUST READ for ALL Parents and Teens!  The premise of "The Marijuana Highway" is that marijuana is a powerful, toxic and addictive psychoactive drug.
     The Team at TeenSoulPower has reviewed - literally - hundreds of articles and studies on marijuana. Not one study was found that even hints that marijuana is a protective factor for positive youth development. Not one study was found that states that marijuana use supports healthy families. Not one study was found that concludes that marijuana use builds strong communities. Not one study was found that has proven that marijuana is a safe drug. In fact, overwhelmingly, the findings are exactly the opposite in all four cases. Everyone wants a happy and healthy life. Many have found, though, that the quality of life they wanted never materialized, simply because a friend said “Try this, it won’t hurt you."   Available at Smashwords:  $1.99.

Sex and the Single Teen:  Sex has become a "distraction of life." The goal of this book is to refute the social pressures to rush into sexual relationships. It is to negate the hype and illusions of sex, and to explore and provide a rationale that strengthens resolve to wait - to wait until the time, the circumstances, the emotions, the psychology and the spiritual factors are all aligned.  It is to help you avoid the "Sex Trap."  Sex is a life choice. As with all choices it can be positive - but it can be very, very damaging.  The material is as significant and critical as any other issue or topic can possibly be.

Alcohol,Drugs and Teens: The purpose of this book is to help people improve the quality of their lives by avoiding one of the greatest health problems: drug abuse. Addiction is the #1 Health Problem in America, and 9-out-of-10 addicts began using alcohol or drugs before age 18. Not one teen ever said, "When I grow up I want to be an addict."  Addiction is definitely a process of morbidity, of making people sick.  It is definitely a disease.  It affects mind, body, emotion and soul. And addiction always begins with simple use. If one never smokes one does not develop addiction to nicotine. It is the act of using a substance that potentiates the addiction potential.
This book spells out the nature and problems of drugs and recommends prevention as the best medicine.

Available at Smashwords.      $1.99
