Get Up With Something on Your Mind: Lessons for Navigating Life

by Howard Adams

This book offers a course of action that will help you navigate a successful life. It is a series of lessons, or road maps, for making choices - choices that will determine actions that will ultimately make up the whole of your life. We fail to ask ourselves the most important questions. Who am I? Where am I headed? Where do I really want to go with my life? Am I ready to take responsibility for the choices I must make? What price am I willing to pay? At the base of it, success begins with YOU. It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal, the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a disaster to be unable to capture your ideals, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It's not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim, is a sin.
