What Do I Want To Be?

This is an amazing book written by author, motivational speaker, personal coach, and incredible humanitarian, Leigh St. John. It is a book geared for young people ages 7-20 years. "What Do I Want To Be" deals with issues of life and empowerment. She delves into concepts such as; honesty, integrity, being true to yourself, being able to "know when to say no" and having the confidence to follow through with "no". She gives the reader brilliant suggestions as to how to combat feelings of self doubt and to increase ones self esteem.

One of my favorite quips is as follows..."What Are Your Excuses"? She goes on to quote James Thurber who wrote..."All men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why." She goes on to say that "We all have an arsenal of excuses for why we are not living up to our full potential."

Simply speaking, this book is a must read for all! While it is geared specifically toward the young individual, the material is appropro' for all of us! "What Do I Want To Be" can be purchased online at Amazon.com. To follow is a link directly to that site...http://tinyurl.com/bgsupe
