Synopsis

Cheryl Richardson believes that today we face a crisis of spirit and a longing for a sense of purpose that will give meaning and direction to our lives. This crisis, caused by a disconnection from our inner selves, leaves us feeling empty and lost. In this book, she hopes to address the recurring problems that she's witnessed during her years of coaching clients and speaking to self-help audiences throughout the world. Part mentor, part friend, she picks up where "Take Time for Your Life" and "Life Makeovers" left off in this practical, step-by-step plan that should help to build confidence and eliminate self-defeating behaviours. By learning new self-honouring skills, like setting boundaries with grace and love or developing greater self discipline, readers should then be better able to own and use their unique talents and gifts.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

In her most provocative work to date, Cheryl Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of Take Time for Your Life and Life Makeovers, offers readers a unique interactive training programme that will transform internal obstacles, such as self-doubt, conflict phobia and a fear of what others think, into a new foundation of courage, confidence and self-esteem. By investing in their personal and spiritual development, readers will build a strong character that allows them to create a larger vision for their lives - a vision of service and contribution to themselves and to the world.

Part mentor/part best friend, Cheryl Richardson picks up where her two earlier books leave off, by offering new 'inner life skills' to readers who are ready to stop hiding their power and start living according to their Divine assignment. Using real-life stories and examples, she provides a practical, step-by-step plan to help:

* Build self-trust and inner confidence by strengthening your relationship with yourself and your inner life.

* Identify and eliminate the thoughts, words and actions that rob you of power and self-esteem.

* Face 'conflict phobia' head-on by telling the truth with grace and love.

* Use fear as an ally to build your 'courage muscles'.

*Pass up good for great by centring your life around your values.

Practical and empowering, Stand Up for Your Life will inspire you to use your talents and your gifts - and allow you to lead a more passionate, fulfilling life.
