Life is a struggle. It can consume your soul, erase your identity, and leave you in an utter state of shock and awe. The journey of life is filled with uncertainties, which often brings pain, discouragement, and defeat. People don’t submit requisitions to choose their parents, height, gender, color, intelligence, or location prior to their birth. Yet, these attributes provoke a certain response from society. How you deal with those responses will make all the difference in your journey. You are unique, unlike any other person. There’s no carbon copy of you. Knowing who you are is the key to peace in this life. Your purpose is concealed in who you are.When you realize your life is set on course by God, the journey is fulfilling, the struggle is acceptable, and the reward is supernatural. Your purpose and mission gives you focus. Your character is formed.I tussled with who society wanted me to be, until I woke up. My natural birth, like many others, placed me with little odds of achieving greatness in this present life. I was in the fog of life when Christ made me new.If you hold on to God’s hand, he’ll pull you through any situation. He promises to go with you through the fire and the flood.

“I love to see that Nature is so rife with life that myriads can be afforded to be sacrificed and suffered to prey on one another; that tender organizations can be so serenely squashed out of existence like pulp, — tadpoles which herons gobble up, and tortoises and toads run over in the road; and that sometimes it has rained flesh and blood! With the liability to accident, we must see how little account is to be made of it.”This edition of Walden includes:• Notes • 25 photogravures from 1897 edition• Appendix: Extracts from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Familiar Studies of Men and Books
