      TRANSFORM DIFFICULTIES INTO TRIUMPHS

      IN 30-DAYS

      __________

      A Story-Based Guide for you to Turn Difficulties into Triumphs

      by Carol Knox

      Human potential at its best is to transform a tragedy into a personal triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement.

      ― Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning.

      Dedication

      I dedicate this book to all those whose lives I have touched in a positive way.

      Preface

      Introduction

      A lack of meaning might be called a malaise of our times. When we encounter challenges or difficulties in life, often we discover that we can’t find a centre, a way to cope. What is it all about?

      About

      This story-based book offers daily ways for you to overcome difficult situations, to help you to find the WHY that will energise and animate your life. In finding your own WHY, in discovering your meaning and your purpose, your pain will be lessened. You will discover ways to unfold meaning, as well as a personal calling, through tasks that you can fulfil, relationships that you can strengthen and enrich, and attitudes that you can develop and cultivate. This story-based book can be used flexibly, daily, weekly or by selecting days that resonate with you.

      This practical, inspiring, and potentially life-changing book will take you step by step through a process towards a more fulfilled and enriched working and personal life.

      Overview of Stories

      In this story-based book, stories are offered to guide you to discover and unfold your unique meaning and purpose in life, even during difficult times.

      It includes personal stories, as well as stories about others such as Viktor Frankl, Nelson Mandela, Beethoven, Helen Keller, Jack Kerouac, James Hillman, Helen Martins, The Buddha, Temple Grandin, Tara Brach, Carl Rogers, a Taoist story, an Indian fable, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, a story from Logotherapy and Jerry Long.

      Acknowledgements

      My motivation for creating this story-based book grew out of my need to make available to as wide a group of people as possible, the potential to overcome life difficulties and to transform these into triumphs. Initially many of these stories were to form part on a PHD research project with trauma sufferers. Due to ill health, I was unable to continue with this research. I began to think about how I could use this material in a different way, so that it could reach more people and potentially enrich their lives. In this way the book came into being. My life purpose is to help others discover and unfold their purpose and unique meaning and calling in life.

      My thanks go to my editor Liz Dexter from Libroediting.com. Liz completed the editing quickly and was very helpful in her comments and in discovering accurate references.

      My thanks also go to my beta reader David Owens.
