Rubber Butt
Stories of Bouncing Back
Image Not Final Cover
So many
people find themselves hitting bumps in the road, some with challenges
so large it feels like hitting a wall, or falling into huge caverns of
confusion, fear and emptiness.
How many
times have you heard someone say they were knocked on their butt from an
unforeseen and difficult, if not tragic, event in their life.
Everyone has "bad days". What do
you do when you have several bad days or one hugely bad day that
turns your life upside down?! Business set-backs, Divorce,
Illness, Betrayals, Financial, Personal, Faith shaking events .........
If
giving up on life isn't an option, then, what to do? If it's the first
time this problem or event has ever been experienced, where do you find
answers and direction?
More than just inspiration
(inspiration, n; Stimulation of the
mind or emotions) Inspirational stories sometimes choke us up, and we
feel happy for the person in the story, but can we relate? Can we get
step by step answers from these distant stories?!
More than platitudes
(platitude, n; trite or banal
remark or statement, especially one expressed as if it were original or
significant)
Platitudes generally only make the person
saying them feel better
It’s
more than telling someone – to toughen up, hold their chin up or what
doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. (That last one may lead them to
think about killing you – not literally, hopefully)
It’s
not that a person lacks the motivation, faith or desire, they may not
know what to do, or how.
We want
more answers that are more than: just “think positive” or "just have faith". Positive
thinking by itself may help some people feel better, however, “empowered
thinking that prompts action” creates a result. We are looking for that
action roadmap.
Now is
the time you can share your inspiration by telling your own experience
for the benefit of others. We are not on this planet alone, we are
help to assist, educate and support each other in life. Many stories are
available telling about a person who was in a difficult circumstance,
and then got through it. We want more than the short version, we want to
inspire with all the steps, from A to W. We encourage you to write form
your heart, we will not change your style or change your personality of
your grammar. We will check for spelling errors.
Stories
that give step by step real-life solutions to personal set-backs will be
published in this book. This book will be marketed and
shared with establishments and groups that help people during their struggles and
challenges (teachers, halfway houses, missions, safe houses,
counselors, friends).
Not all
stories will be published. Submission does not guarantee acceptance for
publication. Stories will be chosen that best fit the purpose of this
mission. If we have
questions or need more information, it is important that you ask those
in your application.
Co-authors, regardless of
profession, cannot recommend
specific investment products or render
case specific legal, medical or financial advice.
Here’s what we are looking for.:
Point A:
Aaack! What happened?
Did you
see it coming?
How did it affect you?
What did this experience
initially do to you or cause you to do or feel?
Were you alone, did
you have support, did you have to find support? What kind? How?
How
did you react immediately after this event/experience?
What did you
do nest?
Next? What happened? Step forward, same or step back?
We
also want to know what you did, that didn’t help. And why.
We want
all the specific steps and results that let you from point A to point W.
Point W:
WHEW ! I've survived, succeeded, thrived from my
started place of Aaack!
