Everyone has a dream for a better life. For millions, that dream is no more complex than surviving until tomorrow-dodging bullets and bombs while foraging for food and shelter.Those of us who live in less volatile environments can pursue larger dreams, but many choose not to do so. Instead, we spend our days focused on the negative. And when we only see the negative, that's all we know and experience.Pat Carr, author of All Dreams Matter, offers a better way. Combining scripture and science, the motivational speaker reveals a simple but powerful truth: we create our own destiny. Those who choose to change their minds-to actively focus on their dreams-inevitably change their lives.Free yourself from the delusion that only the smartest, the most talented, and the luckiest among us attain success. Instead, embrace the truth: the choices we make create our destinies.We've been blessed with the God-given capacity to dream the life we want, to refine our thoughts and renew our minds, and therefore change our fates. Carr offers access to this powerful gift. Use it-and change your world.
