From the time I was a little sickly five-year-old child, I have often wondered how is it that some people seem to be not as affected emotionally as others when things that they were holding on to start to go away. This book gives you a clear understanding that those things you are holding on to may not be what God wants you to keep holding on to. Your victory depends on placing your hope in him. It will allow you to see that if your hope and the time that you put in your hope are not in him and those things that are above, then you could be wasting your time. And who do you know that would like to spend their time holding on to something that will not produce any good thing? That's what this book is about.

Whether seeking recognition, spirituality, or personal success, we are endlessly striving to become something "better." But even if we obtain what we are looking for, we cannot refrain from creating another quest. Driven to distraction in pursuit of our goals, we are never able to enjoyor even livethe life we have. This provocative book explores the harmful side of our cultural and personal preoccupation with seeking. Psychologist Richard Lind suggests that there are no alternatives to seeking because our culture is singularly obsessed with personal development. Modern individuals have been taught since youth to believe that the quest for an ideal, future state is the sure road to happiness. Yet, as Lind shows, ideal goals remain out of reach. Instead of bringing inner peace, the compulsive quest for selfimprovement creates psychic fragmentation, inner conflict, and personal suffering. It leads individuals to feel that their lives are never good enough, and results in the manipulation of the self and others. Rather than advocating without qualification the value of "growth," "development," and "progress," Dr. Lind suggests that selftransformation can only occur if we are able to stop interfering with the experience of who we naturally are. Supporting his case with historical examples and insights from diverse wisdom traditions, Lind shows how inner fulfillment can only be obtained by giving up "empty desires" and "empty striving," and by becoming directly present again to the world of living experience.

Football Pioneer is a book for the casual or hard core football fan. Fans follow their favorite team each year with little thought of what their favorite players went through to make it in the great world of Professional Football. How often do fans think about the work, scouts, general managers and player personal people have to go through each year to put the best product on the field? Football Pioneer will show the fan not only the inside workings of teams but the interesting business of the people who represent those players. I was fortunate enough to be part of both of those worlds. I was also fortunate to start in the business when not all players had agents. I witnessed all the many changes not only in the NFL itself but all the vast changes that the agent business went through over a thirty year period. PFA was born out of a simple idea to offer a service that gave the college player going into Professional Football an edge in regards to knowing what teams expected of him in regards to strength, speed, flexibility and agility. Our program also made the player aware of where he was in this process. Time was limited but our players had a much better understanding of the process before they were exposed to the world of Professional Football. The idea of player preparation before the NFL Combine took a long time to catch on but today multimillion dollar businesses have grown as a result of this preparation.Football Pioneer relates many player situations, negotiations, dealings with general managers, owners and the pressure an agent has to deal with when million-dollar contracts are at stake. The book covers the recruiting process. A great many agents followed a code of ethics, some had no ethics. Every story in life has good times and tragic times. Football Pioneer has all of those in this story. The story within the story deals with how a football fan became a scout and agent with not a great deal of qualifications. Ultimately working in the business for over thirty years.Football Pioneer tells the story of several years of frustration I went through before anyone gave me the chance I needed to start my career in Professional Football. Being a part time scout for the Denver Broncos was great training for me when the opportunity to start PFA became a reality. Hard work and dedication are necessary in any venture that is successful. My situation was no different. The question that needed to be answered, was anyone going to give me that opportunity to prove myself?
