  How to stop making excuses, ditch delaying tactics, and achieve your goals without feeling like it’s a chore. 
  Is there something you want to accomplish but can’t seem to follow through with, whether it’s making healthier choices, learning a new language, or limiting social media time? 
  If so, then CONQUER DISCIPLINE is for you! 
  How often do you give in to distractions or struggle to finish what you’ve started, then beat yourself up for feeling like a failure? 
  Do you wish you could be one of those people who have laser focus and keep their eyes on the prize no matter what? 
  Here’s a reality check: What spells the difference between one’s success and failure is not merely talent, intelligence, or even luck – it’s self-discipline. 
  Self-discipline, according to the dictionary, is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do. 
  Unfortunately, while the benefits of self-discipline have long been established, it has earned a bad reputation. 
  Many people – perhaps including yourself – react negatively to it, most likely because it’s often associated with ideas of harsh punishment, heavy burden, and basically a rigid, joyless life. 
  But that notion cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a study has shown that practicing self-control makes you happier and more satisfied both in the moment and in the long run. 
  Experts also say that self-discipline is like a muscle – the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The good news is, unlike a rigorous exercise routine, you don’t need to hire a professional trainer or have fancy equipment and tools to master self-discipline - read the book to discover more...

  Calling in Context - Social...

  "I don't care for vocational books written in the United States; they're too American." When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isn't the concept of calling universal? Why wouldn't resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone?The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within a particular context. In this paradigm-shifting book, Maros explores how various dimensions of social location—including race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and gender—shape our assumptions and experiences with vocation. Maros helps Christians in the United States in particular see how ideas about calling that emphasize certainty, career paths, and personal achievement arise from cultural priorities that shouldn't go unexamined, such as individualism, productivity, and meritocracy. She explains how unexamined "mental maps" can distort our perspective and refocuses our attention on biblical insights about calling as a lifelong journey. In the process, she helps us find both clarity and encouragement to explore the paths before us.God calls all people, yes—but calling is not a monolithic concept. Filled with numerous stories from Christians in diverse communities, Calling in Context invites anyone exploring questions of calling to find fresh possibilities in their own identity and engagement with God's mission. Reflection questions and Bible study prompts are included throughout.

  Brave Parenting - A...

  “Writing from her own extensive experience and psychological wisdom, Krissy shows us how children can develop the resilience, confidence, and creativity that enables them to find true joy in living.”—Tara Brach 
  How do we build resilient children who can handle life's challenges? 
  As parents, we often feel that our role is to protect our children from the world: to cushion them when they fall, to lift them over obstacles, and to remove sharp rocks from their path. But controlling a child’s entire environment and keeping all pain at bay isn’t feasible—we can’t prepare the world for our children, so instead we should focus on preparing our children for the world. 
   “The solution is not removing impediments from our children’s lives,” writes Krissy Pozatek, “it is compassionately encouraging them to be brave.” We need to show our kids how to navigate their own terrain. If our kids face small hurdles, small pains, at a young age and learn to overcome these obstacles, they will be much better equipped to face larger trouble later in life. 
   Early lessons in problem solving teach self-confidence and self-reliance—and show us that our kids are tougher than we think. Krissy draws her lessons from her experience guiding children in wilderness therapy and from her Buddhist practice—showing us that all life is as unpredictable as mountain weather, that impermanence is the only constant, and that the most loving act a parent can do is fearlessly ready their child to face the wilderness. For parents of children of all ages.

  The Sign-Language of...

  Gerald Massey

  The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation. But in the primitive phase it was a soul of life or of food ascending from the water in vegetation, as he who climbs the stalk, ranging from Child-Horus to the Polynesian hero, and to Jack ascending heavenward by means of his bean-stalk. –from “The Sign Language of Astronomical Mythology” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

  The Shocking Truth about Work...

  Work ethics are often viewed as the cornerstone of personal and professional success. They are celebrated in motivational speeches, taught in schools, and prominently displayed on office walls as guiding principles. However, beneath the glossy surface lies a more complex reality—one that challenges our understanding of what it truly means to work hard, stay committed, and achieve success. **The Shocking Truth About Work Ethics** delves into these complexities, uncovering the hidden truths about a concept that is often taken for granted.  
    
  For centuries, the idea of work ethics has been closely tied to societal expectations. From the Protestant work ethic of the 17th century to the modern-day hustle culture, the narrative has been consistent: work hard, and success will follow. While this mantra has inspired countless individuals, it has also created a culture of pressure, burnout, and disillusionment. Many of us are left asking, "If I’m doing everything right, why do I still feel stuck or unfulfilled?"  
    
  The reality is that work ethics are not a one-size-fits-all formula for success. They are shaped by cultural, generational, and personal factors, each of which plays a significant role in defining what we perceive as “good work.” In today’s rapidly changing world, traditional work ethics often collide with modern realities. Hustle culture glorifies overworking, while quiet quitting—a form of professional disengagement—has emerged as a counter-reaction. These contrasting trends expose the cracks in our understanding of work ethics and highlight the need for a more nuanced conversation.
