A man shares the wisdom and inspiration he’s collected throughout his life.

Anthony doesn’t just file away bits of insight whenever he happens upon them; he seeks them out, initiating conversations with other people about life and their own experiences and outlook. In this collection of short essays, the author shares these ideas and stories and what they have meant to him, in hopes that they will inspire others. He argues that successful people largely create their own luck by how they respond to the circumstances around them. Conversely, those who feel that only bad things happen to them help fulfill their own prophecy through their attitude and expectations. Though he was deeply grieved by his mother’s death, the author decided to write this book to work through that pain, to turn that experience into something positive and to help others find better ways to respond to life’s challenges. He asserts that one can begin to change his or her life simply by altering how one looks at each day—as a grind or as an opportunity. He urges readers to appreciate the time they have and to make the most of it by improving themselves and helping others to do so as well. Many of his discussions are illustrated by stories in which he learned something new from someone in his daily life, or he attempted to turn someone around toward a more positive outlook. The essays are interspersed with poems, which offer more emotionally charged meditations on similar themes. He concludes with slightly more stern chapters, addressing how many people approach self-help books as quick fixes, arguing that changing one’s life requires a constant commitment. An outgrowth of his website, SomethingToShare.com, this succeeds because the author’s advice is directly derived from his own experience. Some may perceive his values as old-fashioned, however, particularly those about children and parenting.

Words to live by.

The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once
Author: D Anthony
ISBN: 0931761255

"The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once" is an adventure in self-examination, self-discovery, and self-actualization. D. Anthony has packed the pages of this book with motivational and inspirational stories that offer the reader help for unlocking their amazing potential, for achieving excellence, and implementing change.

The book is designed in a way that allows the reader to read one or two short chapters at a sitting for inspiration, reflection, and assimilation. It can also easily be read in one or two sittings to stimulate some thoughts for later retrospection or study.

I found myself reading with a notebook at hand to record principles I wanted to remember, the mission or action statements I wanted to incorporate in my daily activities, and the insights I wanted to reflect on again at a later time. In this way the book has become a tool for further reflection, for revitalizing my faith, intensifying my purpose, and giving power to my dreams.

Throughout the eight sections of the book Anthony reminds the reader of the importance of developing a winning attitude, a positive mindset, and being true to who you are. The readings are a compilation of poetry, sage bits of wisdom, adages and inspirational stories arranged in an easy-to-read-and-remember format. These readings are arranged randomly and often are building blocks reinforcing an important idea from a variety of vantage points.

I was reminded to always look for the win-win situation in the game of life, and I discovered nuggets of truth on "re-evaluating some deep-rooted, widely-accepted perspectives involving competition," about staying humble, impressionable, about integrity, and about faith.

I particularly liked the "Mission" assignments at the end of each section and the Introduction to the following section. Action steps, for the lessons learned, provided a practical real-life application for the precepts just considered and the introduction to the new section gave a glimpse of the adventure to follow. These action plans are not about time but about experiencing life-affirming pursuits, creativity, and spiritual replenishment, about personal touch, communication, and gratitude.

Stimulating challenges and perceptive questions help shed new light on preconceived conclusions, limiting thoughts, and paradigms helping the reader cultivate new attitudes of behavior and a more purpose-filled life. Anthony's observations and writing becomes a conduit for implementing important changes in mindsets, attitudes, and perceptions. It can also become a "life affirming, life enriching, self-empowering tool."

"The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once" gives promise of "unlocking your amazing potential that will foster monumental change in yourself and the people around you." I am confident that daily affirmation of the principles D. Anthony shares in his book will produce the promised results. Anthony's book is more than a book of motivational stories. It is an enriching spiritual experience.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
The “Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” represents D Anthony’s first title in a planned inspirational, motivational and enlightening series. While seemingly always possessing an insatiable lifelong need to not only pose the difficult, challenging questions, but to endeavor to answer them - it was a single dramatically life-altering event that would first crystallize the foundation for many of the very much atypical themes, insight and perspective so richly interwoven throughout the pages of his maiden book.

From the devastating untimely demise of his beloved mother… from the overwhelming heartache and sense of bewilderment, the catalyst of intense questioning about validity of purpose and the relevance of faith… from the entirely selfish need to simply have living begin to matter again – eventually a new, considerably more selfless destiny, would begin to emerge. In time, discontent would become renewed purpose and disillusionment reinvigorated passion – passion to get the most out of this life and to aspire to his true intended destiny… passion to encourage all who can dare to dream to discover and strive for their very own unique and incredible version of the same.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Some say that we live in a material, shallow and thoughtless world. Is this a true fact?
Do you not have a choice in what type of life you choose to live in?

In D Anthony's book, "The Nurse in the Delivery Room slapped Me.. Once" you will find yourself pondering those exact questions.
You will be overwhelmed by his thoughts in regards to how one can find and release their own inner strength and attitudes.

The stories in this book are written in hopes that you will feel compelled to dig deep inside and pull out all of the shelved dust ridden morals and genuine feelings that once were important to your life.
You will read about common sense and the differences in making good choices verses bad choices.
As D Anthony puts it, " Every Day is a blessing, and every blessing a gift from God. Spend your blessings wisely."

Womensselfesteem.com highly recommends, " The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me.. Once" as an insightful and empowering very well written read. It has positive direction and the messages that D Anthony shares with his readers are clear and very transforming. You cannot help but feel driven towards a stronger commitment towards a more fulfilled and purposeful life.
