The Exceptional Life teaches readers eight powerful steps that will radically change their life. The book includes what you must give up in order to have the life you have always wanted. The eight things we must give up are guilt, resentment, fear, anger, instant gratification, helplessness, isolation, and addiction. It also includes what will enrich your life when you give that thing up. For example, if you give up guilt you will receive your hope back. We don’t have to hold on to our past failures and mistakes. We are to accept God’s forgiveness. Another step is giving up fear in our lives. We have to remember that God will protect us no matter what we may go through. If we give up fear we will receive trust back into our lives.
Each chapter is divided into five sections: what we need
to give up, how the thing hinders us from living fully, how to give it up, what
we will gain if we give it up, how our life will change. Each chapter has
discussion questions to assist you in your journey to your exceptional life.
One of my favorite quotes was:
“We like what we like, and we do what we do. Once we’re
in any kind of behavioral pattern, getting out can be a true challenge.” Page

I would recommend this book to teenagers and adults who
are struggling with how to live their lives. If things are holding you back from
living your life this book will help you to become free. One of the chapters helped me immensely to
stop hiding from the world. I saw that I was living and staying in my comfort
zone. I realized that I have to give up isolation in order to get back to
living in a community with friends. I have to get to the bottom line of why I
choose to hide from the world. The past has held me back and I had to choose to
stand back up and start living again. If I stay on the sidelines protecting
myself, my whole life, I will miss a great life. I started walling myself in
and would stay away from people who hurt me. I believed that everyone else would
treat me the same way that they did. We don’t to live in fear of getting hurt
because God will always be there to put us back together. This book helped me
to see I need to live in fellowship with others. God will protect me and he
will never let me down. This book is a wonderful book to help you break free
from your past. It can help you to stop past behaviors and it will change your
life into an exceptional life. Say goodbye to the old you and say hello to the
new you. If you will put these eight life changing steps into your daily life
you will start seeing changes in your life like never before.
