In many ways, life is like a lottery-you've got to play to win. But unlike the game of chance, you can control the draw. By facing your inner fears, getting rid of self-defeating behavior and unhealthy relationships, loving who you are, attracting prosperity and healthy love, and working to be the best you can- you can't lose. The life-empowering principles in this guidebook will help bring out the winner in you. Its prescriptions and interactions will compel you to rethink what you have, to appreciate your true value- to really get in touch with and define your personal wants and needs in life- and go for it! Here is a brief description of three chapters to give you a glance into the insightful principles contained in this life-empowering book:

Good Choice #2: Accepting Better Love, Not Bitter Love

As a woman you've been conditioned from childhood to believe that someday Prince Charming will come along to rescue you. He will sweep you off your feet, take care of you, and you will live happily ever after. It is therefore natural for you to want an ideal mate to love, appreciate, and cherish you. Many sisters are involved in healthy relationships and happy marriages, but unfortunately, many more are not. A large number are still waiting for the promised fairy-tale romance to materialize. Others have given up hope of ever finding their prince and have settled for the court jester instead. Many have compromised their ethics and have resorted to having an affair with someone else's mate. Still others have chosen celibacy to escape the hurt felt when Prince Charming turns out to be Prince Harming. A primary reason for love gone bad is that all too often we sell ourselves short, because we don't believe in our own ability. Most people don't acknowledge just how special they are. They haven't been taught how. This chapter shows you how to develop a healthy self-worth and how to attract a healthy-minded mate.

Good Choice # 4: Turning Stumbling Blocks into Stepping Stones

Have you ever felt that you don't know whether you're going to make it, but you just know that you have to make it? Succeeding in life doesn't always come easy. It takes a lot of persistence, perseverance, and courage. At times you'll feel as if it's hopeless. On some days, you may not be able to see the "light at the end of the tunnel." On other days, you'll cry like a baby. But no matter how discouraged you may be at times, sis, do not give up! Success may not come overnight, but it does come- if you're determined to win. This is a given fact: You will win, sis. If you keep knocking at a door, it is bound to open. Either someone is going to hear you knock and let you in, or it will eventually fall off the hinges from your constant banging- but be assured, it will open. This chapter shows you how to break down barriers and create a successful, purposeful path in life.

Good Choice #6: Trusting Your Own Intuition

Everyday thousands of us come up with creative ideas. These ideas are brilliant, important, and interesting. But we ignore them. If we heard the same ideas from others, we would readily accept them. We wrongly underestimate the value of our thinking, while we falsely overestimate the thinking of others. Most people have more respect for others than they do for themselves. They wish they were in someone else's body, joy, relationship, or lifestyle. This explains why so many people surrender to the dictates of others. We frequently allow another person to run our lives because we are afraid of losing that person's love. So we sacrifice our own feelings in favor of his or hers. Once you decide to take charge of your life, who can dictate how quickly or how slowly your individual empowerment will take place? The answer is- only you and God, in partnership together. No one else on this earth can interfere with your progress, unless you wimp out and let them take charge. This is true for every area in your life: the personal, romantic, social, financial, and professional. It's time to take back your power and your life- take it back from the bad relationships, bad careers, bad investments, bad company, and bad memories. It's time for you to live a fuller, happier, more productive and wholesome life. This is your time to claim your blessings. God has given you the power of choice. 10 Good Choices shows you how to choose wisely, choose to win, and enjoy every moment!
