I spent a whole hour today in a book store searching for just the right book for a loved one. There were hundreds, if not thousands of books on the topic of which I was searching. Despite perusing the covers or flicking through the contents of hundreds of books there was only one book which I kept coming back to. Now it sits wrapping in crisp white paper ready to be posted to the receiver tomorrow. I know they will appreciate the content of the book. In fact I know they will soak up every word and try to implement all the ideas and thoughts into their own life. When your life feels out of control and you're on a destructive path to nowhere, staying focused and forcing yourself to concentrate on following one path can prove very hard. But I know the person who will read the book will try really hard wrestle back their life. They will slowly gain a new perspective in acting out their life and by the time they reflect back upon the events that sent their life spiralling out of control the pain from those events will have lessened to such a degree that they will be able to simply move on.
