We must view life as if each day is the first day of the rest of our lives. We should keep an outlook in our minds about life, as each day is the opportunity for a new start. Description: Happiness and success comes with persistence and hard work. We must have a goal and work hard. Follow your hearts to true happiness. You must have a destination, a goal and a plan. You are special. You can be anything you want too. Your family loves you, your friends, spouse and the world loves you. Now it is your turn to love yourself. These poems in this book will give you the faith, hope, courage, strength to be happy, and love life. My poems will show you otherwise. I will show you through my poetry that there is no reason to be anger. Love yourself as your love ones love you. Life is meaningless unless you can love, be happy and bring your happiness to others.  As you read my poetry, you will see a completely new meaning of live. In addition, Faith will once again be apart of your life.   Product Details: Publisher: Stacey Chillemi Copyright: © 2006 by Stacey Chillemi Standard Copyright License Language: English Version: 1   Reviews:   This book helps us realize that we must view life as if each day is the first day of the rest of our lives.      The poetry in this book helps you keep an outlook in our minds about life, as each day is the opportunity for a new start.

A poetic and inspirational book by a prominent author, which uses hertalent in writing and (often inspiring and motivational) anecdotes to show us why we're so lousy at predicting what will make us happy - and what we can do about it.

Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? When people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward.

Using the magic of poetry, much of it original, Chillemi shakes, cajoles, persuades, motivates and inspiries us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions she poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favorite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn't gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off?

Smart, witty, accessible and unique, this poetry book brilliantly describes all that poetry has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.
