Book Review: LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT by T.J. ADDINGTON

Fortunately we are neither robotic simulations nor clones. This follows that there are no errors in God's inference on the sixth day of creation: "He saw that they were good"! Yet the whole world finds it difficult appreciating life the way it was actually intended. By this, both the rich and the poor alike! Mankind have always come to that point of their lives where they alight from the vehicle of purposeful living and board the cruise-ship of nondescript destinations! Only to wake up from their delirium at the umpteenth hour wondering how they ever embarked on such journey in the first place. For some,twilight has suddenly appeared and the die is cast to find out that they've missed out.But to a chosen few, another opportunity gets handed them to put things right and LIVE LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED!

 

T.J. Addington,fires a number of thought-provoking piercing questions that could help in our personal rediscovery of ourselves, in LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT. By learning to appreciate whatever positional location/activities that may come our way, and how to enter into God's rest and launch unto the peak of our Divine destinies.
Having mind blowing-dreams, conceptualizing inspirational ideas and making it Big in the jungles of life out there are all admirable goals and admirable too. However, much of the depression, the discontent, and unhappiness a lot of people encounter at work still go undiagnosed. Often times these conditions linger on because these victims unwittingly continue working outside their sweet spots[strength,element,their God-ordained office of expertise]. We could only imagine what could happen if George Washington Carver were to have worked with Henry Ford, he'd have been "wealthy" and accomplished in the eyes of men! But his world acclaimed inventions would give a hint at his True Calling[the reason why he was born,lived, thrived] -where his passion for horticulture would literally affect the lives of generations unborn even tomorrow!
LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT asked such questions as outlined by Addington which have helped erstwhile strayers to refocus their energies with discipline and nurture dreams birthed only by spending time with the Lord - in the Secret place!
Questions like:
1. "Why Am I Here;
2. What is My Sweet Spot;
3. Do I have a fool proof Plan;
4. Is God in it?" ,Among others.

If we're one of those overtly troubled about God, and what He thinks of Us, how insignificant our work[however menial] seems in comparison to the prestigious others;Or if we're bothered with looking good rather than nurturing our inner character which needs transformation - read this book!

This is a resourceful self-help book by T.J. Addington, and I'd surely recommend it for any Christian and non-Christian alike, seeking to live a successful lifestyle with a perspective in mind.
