A Design For Life

A DESIGN FOR LIFE by JULIAN BOUND Bringing forward eight of the many elements of personnel development which when applied in daily life promote the health and wellbeing of the soul, mind and heart. Each quote holds an insight into life's questioning, offering guidance and comfort while allowing the reader to take quiet contemplation in the words present. COURAGE: Let courage shine within you, delight in standing alone from the crowd. HAPPINESS: The garden of your happiness is cared for by you, not by another's tending. LOVE: An untold vastness of emotion, its range and depth exceeding that of all other sentiments. MINDFULNESS: Awareness to all surrounding, attentiveness to the consciousness within. BEING: Begin being. Sit back and watch as those elusive jigsaw pieces fall into place. COMPASSION: Forgiveness coupled with understanding. MEDITATION: The quieter the mind the louder the heart. FREEDOM: Why limit yourself to only experiencing freedom when dreaming? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in England, Julian is a documentary photographer, film maker and author.
