Finding the Gift 5 Guiding Principles That Can Save Your Life

With only one life to live and many gifts to give, John Alston had many reasons to revamp his 1997 book, Life Is a Gift – Don’t Trash It – 53 Things Everyone Should Know. 

As it happens, John is in fine health.  Recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor in the summer of 2008, it wasn’t so difficult for John to identify the #1 principle that saved his life at a critical time. 

For his future audiences, John has distilled the 53 things down to five principles that will help anyone through life’s difficult times, good times and transitions.   

If you want your organization to individually and collectively amp up their appreciation for all of life’s experiences and use contingencies as lessons, this presentation has as its primary focus a set of principles and practices to make that happen. 

Principle #1:               Pay attention.

Principle #2:               No one achieves anything alone. 

Principle #3:               Take nothing and no one for granted.

Principle #4:               Get over the fear of asking for help.   

Principle #5:               Express gratitude and love consistently.
