God did not send us here to "survive" life. He sent us to explore the power of the spirit over the physical... and to explore the joy of being creators. Our mission is to discover our gifts and give them for the benefit of all.
Some of my favorite books for personal growth: "Remembering Wholeness" by Carol Tuttle; "Power vs Force" by David Hawkins; "Energy Medicine" by Donna Eden; "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T.Harv Eker; and "Hidden Messages of Water" by Emotu.
Blessings!
