Honestly,I am a bit troubled and confused lately. Things aren't doing well. Plenty of things have been bothering me with regards to my carreer,my family,and my relationships with other people. Frequently, I found myself being rude to my friends.And I'm beginning to hate myself because I'm fond of doing abrupt decisions that do not bring me any good.I am indeed dissatisfied with my life. However,I don't want to dwell on those things because I know that would just cause me anxiety and depression. I want to help and console myself.And as much as possible wanna take things lightly. and so I've been looking for some self help book to help me out on this.
I heard a lot about Rick Warren's book "The purpose driven life" and I had actually thought to be engaged with that book few years ago. However, It just went out of my mind or I just refused to do so and so my plan remained a plan.
Fortunately my friend who happens to be my roomate got one of that book. And so when I browsed some pages of that book and read some few lines with regards to finding life's purpose with God, I realized I really need that book at this point in my life.And so I opt to pursue with my plan.I'm in my third day already. Hopefully, something good will come out on me after reading the entire book.
Has any of you read that book? Were you moved by its content?
What changes have you done with your life after reflecting those inspirational thoughts and verses?

I think it is hard because we have less determination to do so eventhough we have that strong desire to read it. Sometimes we dwell on our stubborness. Reading such kind of book is just like we are having a counselor who dictates us and helps us build to become better. And it is very normal for us most likely to refuse a good teaching.In a way, there is this feeling that we don't want to be told on what is the right thing and what is the best for us.
