She forwarded me a five-minute interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life” that sold 15 million copies and made him very wealthy. The past year has been his greatest year but also the toughest as his wife, Kay, had got cancer. Rick shared: I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you got to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don’t believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it’s kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. You can focus on your purposes, or……. you can focus on your problems.
