e can discover w opportunities in the most difficult experiences if we are willing to look for them . It is what we choose to think about each experience that determines how we respond to it . How we respond determines whether or not we find richer , more purposeful , more joyful lives .
Life is an adventure to be lived … fully , with whole-hearted commitment , enthusiasm for what ’ s around the next corner and joy in our accomplishments . All too often , choices are based on what we believe is the “ right ” thing to do rather than on what will make us happy . Financial success does not necessarily bring satisfaction . Some people live an
Choices ! We have choices . They are the source of the success in our lives . When things happen to us , we can choose to believe they happen for a reason .
extraordinarily successful life and still don ’ t live a life of significance or joy . What if we could do both ? What if we could live our dreams AND take care of our responsibilities at the same time ? We can !
In 2010 , we launched the first book in the Life Choices book series , Life Choices : Navigating Difficult Paths . It was so popular , we published three other Life Choices books : Life Choices : Putting the Pieces Together , Life Choices : Pursuing Your Passion , and Life Choices : It ’ s Never Too Late . The authors in these books shared their stories of what is possible when you choose to pursue the passion of your heart .
We had so many requests to hear more from our authors that we have decided to create Choices magazine which we will publish four times a year : Spring , Summer , Fall , and Winter . This is the first issue . It features articles by some of the authors in our Life Choices series and include stories from some newcomers as well . This issue focuses on Money : how to make the best choices about spending , using , saving , protecting , and investing it . When you have more knowledge , you feel more secure , and you will be able to make better choices .
We would like to hear from you as to what subjects you would like included in future issues . Email me at judi @ judimoreo . com with your suggestions . I ’ m looking forward to hearing from you .
