Recently, I read a book that was co-authored by Glenn Beck and a world-renowned psychiatrist Keith Ablow called: "The Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life" that is all about taking notice of what they call "bread crumbs" that God places in our path to guide us in the direction He would have us go.{For those of you who do not know, Glenn Beck is a political pundit who does a daily radio talk show and tv show. But this book is not about politics, nor is it about a specific brand of religion. These are universal truths for anyone of any walk of life}.
Albeit, Glenn is indeed a convert to the LDS Church and he touches on his conversion story in the book describing how he managed to go from being a self-destructive alcoholic to a practicing Mormon, Dr. Ablow does not disclose what his religious persuasion is and the book pulls from many sources of truth. This book is about developing 7 areas in our lives that will bring us in sync with God's will and help us to become who Heavenly Father meant for us to be.{Hmmmm... reminiscent of the seven virtues in the Personal Progress manual for LDS young women}.
The Seven Wonders are: Courage, Faith, Truth, Compassion, Friendship, Family, and Common Sense. There is a 7 Wonders website, which I conveniently list here http://theseven.glennbeck.com/ and in my pages section on this blog. When you visit the 7 Wonders blog, you can preview the book and post comments on how you are incorporating those seven character strengths into your life. Recently, they added a weekly session with Dr. Ablow to the format, which you can watch live every Weds at 2 pm EST, with an archive option as well.
I plan to focus some of my posts on these areas as I continue my quest of self-improvement and progress in my spiritual walk with God.
So, dear reader, what are you doing in your life that is bringing you closer to your Higher Power and putting you on the pathway to becoming the unique, healthy and successful person you are meant to be? I welcome your feedback.
BE WELL,
Sonia
