L.I.F.E
LIFE is an honest and transparent book geared towards addressing pressing issues for the modern day youth. As a young man, I can relate to the sentiments adolescents and young adults have, but I have also overcome and learned a few things along the way. I use my experiences as teaching tools while asking thought-provoking questions they can answer in the book. L.I.F.E. is an acronym for Love, Insecurities, Friends and Envy. The book also addresses Life, Family, and other relevant issues like bullying and self-esteem. My hope is to inspire and equip young people to overcome life's obstacles and gain confidence in who they are. There is strength to be gained if one can have a positive perspective. There is also comfort in knowing their Struggles are not unique and no matter what anyone tells them, everyone deals with issues. I dedicate this book, L.I.F.E., to the millions of you who are at a crossroad in your life. For those of you who ever lack confidence, self-esteem, and motivation. To everyone out there with poor self image and poor quality friend who aren’t there to see you through hardship and adversity, to the millions of people with insecurities and believe their not good enough to be successful, happy, or loved. I want you to know that things aren’t always as bad as they seem, and you will grow through what you go through.

• Overall impression of the book.
We have to understand that things aren’t always going to be what we want them to be. LIFE will treat you unfairly and will put shadows over your happiest days, but it’s up to you to move on; it’s up to you to say I’m not going to let the bad days ruin my good LIFE. I love my LIFE; I’m not perfect and I make mistakes, and the best thing about making mistakes in LIFE is that learning from those mistakes is what makes LIFE worth living. Choose your entourage wisely, and only hang around the type of people and participate in the activities that you are comfortable with. Sometimes you’ve got to make a wrong decision to see who’s there to help you fix it, and sometimes you’ve got to let go of the one you love just to see if they love you enough to come back.
• Statement about the author.
Since his original book “L.I.F.E” (published in 2014) written by himself at that time. The co-author book “Heart of Gold: Relationship Devotionals: For the Broken, the healed, and the hopeless” (published in 2016), written with his wife Princess Scott told how to focus on God, heal and get into a healthy relationship and the glue that is needed to keep longevity and love. Now “The Mouse, the bird, the dog, and the Lion: 3 Men to Avoid and 1 to Marry” (published in 2018) takes his experiences and further insight on most men behavior and their thought process.
• Statement on the purpose of the book.
Family is supposed to represent a pillar of stone that we can always count on. When everybody else has turned their back on us, family remains. Even when our natural family fails to uphold moral values, most likely we can look to someone as a source of comfort and strength in our lives. If this is not the case, God is always near. We can call upon God at any time, in any circumstance. It is not a guarantee of understanding, but He will help us for sure.
• Statement of the significance of the work.
You have to distance yourself from certain people, not because you don’t love them but because you have to move forward with your LIFE. LIFE may not always be as good as it should be, but it’s never as bad as it could be. At the end of the day, you either focus on what’s tearing you apart or on what’s holding you together, and to tell you the truth: everyone has problem. If you don’t have problems, you don’t exist. Just listen to me: LIFE isn’t always easy, but when you have God, everything is okay.—Keishorne Scott. God looks for steady growth, not instant perfection.
