Accomplished individuals are glorified and often envied for reaching pinnacles and living lives that the vast majority can only imagine; however, that life comes at an expensive price. Making excuses, living in fear and wasting time holds a countless amount of people hostage to their own aspirations. At maximum measure, those three will suffocate the largest vision and diminish the sweetest dream. Consistency is one major factor that separates the settled from the achieved. If it were second nature, thousands wouldn't exist in procrastination while eating a bag of popcorn and watching television. This is one reason why the rich, famous and accomplished are viewed as wonders, as if they were magically thrown into their dwelling. Jumping away from life as usual is a cost that many are reluctant to pay, although a better life is their claim. Freedom-Success-and Purpose is not the result of being struck by a lightning bolt, but a decision to put forth the necessary effort to harvest it. This read will provoke self-analyzing thoughts necessary for active change; furthermore, innovating the reader to JUMP away from anything that defeats their purpose, because fulfillment has been waiting far too long.

In love but worlds apart is a self-help book for a man and woman who come from two very different cultural backgrounds and who are considering a life commitment to each other. It shows how and when their differences can be problematic, but also how such a relationship could succeed. This book enables partners to think and talk about their cultural differences (such as in manners, values, worldview, holidays and other customs), and to develop traditions and activities they can enjoy together. Questions to think and talk about, which are cited throughout the book, are again listed in the back for copying and giving to the partner to use. A list of possible priorities of choice is also provided to help partners decide whether or not their relationship could work long-term. For couples who have already begun or decided on an intercultural marriage, reading and doing this book may lessen their shock and frustrations and lead them into a more positive experience.
