• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

The Will To Live Part 1

• UNABRIDGED (57 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

It is important to value who you are. It is difficult at times when you are in a dark place and life seems to have no viable solutions as to what to do and where to go - but they are there. It is very difficult too when in that dark place to have any energy because it seems to be sapped out of you because of a lack of impetus and desire. Your mind knows what it wants, the body seems not to care and all one can dream about is to be left alone or waiting for that magic moment when all will be OK and it doesn't arrive.

The Will to Live Part 2

• ORIGINAL (53 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Whatever you are going through there is a solution. Often we see only the "dark side" as our limited knowledge cannot comprehend anything other than our thoughts and as we can't see nor are we in a good mental state to want to see positive possibilities as we dwell where we are in a morose state. However, life is always full of inexplicably good things that can transform where we are and who we are in an instant or in a short space of time. We then look back and see where we were and we can't often believe that that was "us" then and where we are now.

Taking Ownership - Life Bite Series

• ORIGINAL (5 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Life Bite Series. We need to take ownership of our lives otherwise life will literally drag us where it wants to go which is more likely nowwhere near where we want to go. We don't need to let others decide for us what we want either just because they think it is a good idea or things to do. You don't have to be loud or bombastic, just be yourself with a clear and straightforward resolve as to what you want to do, or if you don't know at least you know what you don't want to do.

Loneliness - Life Bite Series

• ORIGINAL (6 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Life Bite Series. Loneliness can be very debilitating. You can feel lonely right in the middle of a bunch of friends and family that love you. You don't have to isolated to be lonely. However the most common cause of loneliness is a degree of selfishness, a selfishness that thinks of oneself more than sharing with others. It can even become habitual and self consuming so that one lives in a bubble of "all about me" and then starts to feel that "I can't be bothered" or "it will be late" or "An excuse here" and so on.

Failure - Life Bite Series

• ORIGINAL (6 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Life Bite Series. Failure is an essential aspect of our lives. Possibly not for the ignorant, stupid and pathetic but for everyone else it is. To fail means you have tried and in the process gained knowledge and information for which you get 10/10 for trying. You get nothing for doing nothing. You are if you have failed already a success in life, and whilst things may not have gone as planned you have endured and tried and that is success in a nutshell.

Humility & Pride - Life Bite Series

• ORIGINAL (6 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Humility and pride: One can get you everywhere and the other can get you nowhere. It's a virtue to be humble as it denotes you have a high degree of grace and understanding. It doesn't denote being a "soft touch" as what you possess is of a value that needs no extra advertising. Those who are ego lead are quite the opposite, often suffering from a very bad ignorance and lack of self-esteem. There is a big difference between being proud of your children or some work you have done as opposed to being proud looking at life through a variable supercilious aspect that clouds others from your favour and even warrants negativity.

Controlling Your Emotions

• UNABRIDGED (42 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Emotions enhance our life walk. We have love, joy, happiness, with love being the greatest and most effective emotion we have. We also have the opposite emotions: anger, hatred, greed, envy, pride, etc, all of which will bring us down.

If we believe in God, then there is but pure love; if we believe in anything else, then it's the Devil - the antithasis of all that's good. And if we impose conditions on love, then that is our downfall too.

What is Normal

• UNABRIDGED (50 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

We talk about what is and what isn't normal, but in reality "Normal" is only a relative term. What some call normal is abnormal for others (what is normal for a spider is chas for the fly). Everything in life is perspective based and that is relative to our understanding, background, education, religion and cultural habits. Our views on life can at times even make us wonder perhaps "Am I normal" in relation to others and vice versa.

Personal Communicating and Racial Equity

• UNABRIDGED (1 hr and 49 mins)
• By John Stewart
• Narrated By John Stewart

MLK said, "People fail to get along with each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don't understand each other. They don't understand each other because they have not properly communicated with each other." This audiobook explains how to overcome these fears and communicate properly, especially in situations of cultural difference.

U&ME: Communicating in Moments That Matter

• UNABRIDGED (9 hrs and 7 mins)
• By John Stewart
• Narrated By John Stewart

Are you as happy as you you'd like to be? Feeling satisfied with your job? Getting along well with family members? Experiencing serenity, at least some of the time? Do you think your life situation is contributing to your longevity or pushing you toward an early grave? Nothing is more critical to the quality of our lives than our relationships, and nothing is more critical to our relationships than how we communicate.

Living Your Own Life: Life Bite Series

• UNABRIDGED (5 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Do you live your of life of your own accord or do you live it because others have directed you or put pressure on to you to live it in a certain way? Many people actually live a life with a constancy of saying "If I do this so and so will get upset" so they don't do what they want to do. That's not acceptable living in the footprint or fear of possibly upsetting someone else.

Priorities & Agendas: Life Bites Series

• UNABRIDGED (6 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Life Bites Series. It is important that we prioritise certain aspects of our lives otherwise we never get anything done or it happens in the wrong way. Similarly we need an agenda too, even if it is just something simple at the back of our mind. It's when we have negative or subversive or hidden agendas or others in their own way do that so to "use" us to further their cause. Those that stroll through life rarely get anything grand done and often wonder how others manage.

The problem however with being everything to everyone is that you end up being nothing to yourself and ultimately a disappointment to everyone else as well as they never see the real until it is too late, then they feel let down.

• UNABRIDGED (5 mins)
• By John Stewart Rushton
• Narrated By John Stewart Rushton

Life Bite Series. It may seem strange but many people live their life as a product of what others think or say or have advised them quite strongly to take. There is but one solution and that is to live your life the best way you can taking into account your mentality, your likes and dislikes, all the little things that make you tick and anything else, after all that is you. As well meaning as others may be (or not) you still have to follow your own pathway as no one else can ever do it for you.
