Why Bother Looking? Finding GOD in Your Seasons of Life

A concept I talk about in Bring It On! Women Embracing Midlife is the tendency we have to live with a victim mentality. It’s so easy to blame others or our circumstances for why we’re not where we want to be in our life. But blaming serves only one purpose – making you feel like a victim. And a victim doesn’t have power over her own life.

One woman I know has every reason to live with a victim mentality. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, however, she’s not only risen above her own circumstances, but she’s helped hundreds of others create abundant lives filled with purpose. This woman is my personal friend, Lynn Jarrett, who has now authored a book titled, Why Bother Looking? Finding God in your Seasons of Life.

Yesterday, Tuesday, November 15, was her BIG worldwide BOOK LAUNCH! Why Bother Looking? made it to #8 on Barnes and Nobles' Bestseller List!

This doesn't surprise me at all. Lynn’s personal stories and others’ stories in her book, Why Bother Looking? draw you in to the struggles we have in our lives, and guide you through your seasons of life. Lynn’s work as a life/business coach and professional speaker helped her develop tools and steps for you to discover for yourself who God is to you and how that impacts your life.

A variety of life circumstances could have caused you to be disillusioned, disappointed, or even bitter and angry towards God. Maybe you grew up in an abusive home, you felt unloved by your parents, your spouse cheated on you, you have a child with special needs, you lost a child, you had a major business deal fall through, you’ve been laid off from a job, or possibly you’ve been diagnosed with a debilitating or terminal illness.

Any one of these circumstances could cause a negative impact on how you see God. Since midlife is often a time when we stop and reevaluate our view of God, I can’t recommend highly enough Lynn’s book for helping you sort through and let go of the painful memories of your past and finally experience the restoration and healing you might have given up all hope that you’d ever find.

Why Bother Looking? teaches you how to:

  • Find answers to life’s biggest problems
  • Increase your self-confidence
  • Find happiness and hope
  • Find life purpose
  • Manage life changes
  • Build confidence in your toughest areas of life
  • Be self-motivated to keep moving forward with your goals in life
  • See your life and experience of God in a completely new way

One of the bonus gifts Lynn offered on her BIG book launch was a FREE 45-minute teleseminar with me on Monday, December 5 at 8pm EST. This Creating Positive Change teleseminar is an introduction to some of the concepts taught in Bring It On! If you'd like to participate in the seminar, please send me an email with "Teleseminar" in the subject line and mention that you heard about it on my blog. Prior to the call, I will send everyone who is registered for the call an email with the bridgeline number and passcode. You will also receive a handout prior to the call in order to gain maximum benefit from the session. Again, this teleseminar is scheduled for Monday, December 5, at 8pm EST.

I hope you'll join us on this call. Feel free to invite friends as long as they pre-register! I have a limited number of lines available, so I want to make sure that I can accommodate everyone.
