Everyone wants to be happy in their life. We think if we just had this thing or that thing we would be happier. If our circumstances were better, or different, or if our spouse was this way instead of that, we would be happy. Or perhaps if our children were more like this way than that way, we would have peace of mind and therefore be happy. The truth is, life is not, and never will be, ideal or perfect for any of us. We will encounter good times as well as difficult times. We will sometimes encounter tragedy and misfortune, as well as blissful and exhilarating triumphant happenings in our life. I say, that whether we have the good stuff or the bad stuff happening, we can choose how we will respond.

I believe this book, Seven Powerful Steps to Happiness, can help you in your responses to the events that come into your life. It can unlock some doors in your life that may have been previously locked and you didn't even realize it. These seven steps are powerful in that if you incorporate them into your daily life you will begin to find happiness even when situations are clearly screaming unpleasant. I recommend this book to all of those who want to know how to be an overcomer in hard times, and to those who want to be content and happier in their own life.

Personally, the steps in this book are what I choose to practice on a day to day basis. When I feel stressed out or overwhelmed with life, I go back to the pages of this book to remind myself that I am an overcomer and I can be happy with and in my life.
