Life Wide Open
Overview
Many of us sense that something vital is missing from our lives. We are easily discouraged and bogged down with busyness, boredom, mediocrity, and routine. In this energizing book, Dr. David Jeremiah opens our eyes to how we can live a life that exudes an attitude of hope and enthusiasm.
Top Highlights
“Passion is all about a basic mind-set and a heart attitude for embracing life—positively, energetically, full bore, pedal to the metal, wide open.” (Page 3)
“Compromise is a language of the devil. Run in God’s name, and let the world stand back in wonder.’” (Page 4)
“‘Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s need.’5” (Page 17)
“To find the passion you seek, you must be passionate about seeking.” (Page 6)
“People enter business as bright, well educated, high energy people, full of desire to make a difference. By the time they are 30, a few are on the fast track and the rest put in their time and do what really matters to them on the weekend. They lose the commitment, the sense of mission, and the excitement with which they started their careers. We get . . . little of their energy and almost none of their spirit.” (Page 178)
