Subject: No Condition is Permanent!
Ivory,
While at your home the other night, I was looking at your
collection of books. As you know, I was off into your cook
books at first but when I finished, I started surfing your
bookshelves again. I honestly thought to myself, "Maybe
there's a book that will speak to the need I have inside me
at this time."
As my eyes traveled along the seams of the books over your
fireplace, one title in particular caught my eye and jumped
right out at me. No Condition is Permanent! I remember thinking
to myself, "Amen to that!" as I reached up and plucked
if off the shelf. The book spoke to my heart because I happen
to be at what I consider a dark time in my life. I know it's
temporary but, nonetheless, that's where I am right now.
The title alone gave me hope because I really needed to hear
that. Ironically, hope is one of the things Rene talks about
in the very first chapter. As I read what he was saying about
hope, standing there in front of your fireplace, it touched
me profoundly and stirred up something inside of me that I
now realize I've been trying to suppress. I knew I had to
read this book. To show you how everything is in Divine Order,
before I could even ask you if I could borrow your book (I
had to have it that night), you graciously offered it to me.Click

Bottom line, this book is a must read for anyone who is experiencing
a dark night in the soul. It's a good book under any circumstances,
but it especially speaks to people who are feeling like they've
hit the bottom.
And, believe me, everyone has been there or will be there
at some time in their lives. Rene said about himself, "I
discovered that my calling in life is to provide strategies
for those who are stuck at the bottom so that they can move
to the top."
Well, he
certainly does this in his book! I really do feel "a
shift in the force" as a result of reading only the first
eight chapters of his book. I can feel my courage and determination
growing and that I must not give up on my dreams.
What Rene says about inspiration vs. motivation was astonishing
to me because I have always believed that to be motivated
is a temporary state of being, while inspiration is something
that is permanent. Wow! His book is just chock-full of wonderful
statements that make your heart sing.
"Everyone
should have a dream about what he or she eventually wants
to do in life . . . . Nothing significant has ever happened
without solid strategies. Living is like being in a war. If
you don't have calculated plans for your battles, you will
lose every single one of them (awesome!) . . . . . The first
requirement of getting what you want in life is to know precisely
what it is that you want . . . . . What are you passionate
about? What you were born to do is right there in front of
your face, but you are too close to see it . . . . . One can
never experience enduring success if money is the WHY. Simply
put, success comes when it is other-oriented rather than self-oriented
. . . . . You and I have no control over external situations
in life, but we have a choice as to how we interpret them
-- we can always rely on HOPE.”
And this statement really did bring tears to my eyes: "It
doesn't matter what you are facing today in your life: your
condition is not permanent! It may appear to be so, but your
help is coming. Are you trying to accomplish something that
is taking a long time and the results are not coming in? That's
called life. Nothing is easy. The old adage says if it's worth
having, it's worth fighting for. Stay in the race a little
longer."
This book has truly been a blessing to me at this time in
my life and the fact that it came to me was no accident. God
knew what I needed and delivered it to me in the form of this
book. Rene's story has been a true inspiration for me and
I know that it will be an inspiration for others that read
it too. I read some excerpts from his book to a friend of
mine in Florida and she was saying Amen! all over the place.
She wants the book and I'm going to get it and send it to
her.
I hope Rene never has any doubt in his mind that he is fulfilling
his calling in life, and his book is one of his powerful pathways
to doing just that. Having the courage to tell the story of
his life and then to interweave it with strategies that will
really help people to have hope and get unstuck, has resulted
in the creation of a truly powerful tool. Over many years,
I have read countless self-help books and I can truly say
that No Condition is Permanent! can stand up there with the
best of them.Click

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. I know you can see
I'm really "gicked up" but that's a good thing!
Sincerely,
Phyllis
