LONGWOOD, FL" A living testimony to the harsh, poverty-stricken life many people experience every day in the midst of rich, resourceful America, author Kathy Elliott overcame the welfare system, an abusive marriage, and a broken family to reach her mountaintop. Her story, chronicled in Success: How dare you give up? ($16.99, paperback, 978-1-61215-582-1), reminds readers that success is more about learning how to continually overcome obstacles than being born into a life of privilege.  

 

?"There’s no running any journey without God, theres no winning without God, and theres no going around, under, over, or through this life’s journey successfully without God,” says Elliott, who shares her story with gritty realism and a passionate desire to help others live their own success story. ?"You are of greatness, and with God you shall reach success.”

 

With chapter titles such as ?"Take Care of You FIRST,” ?"Stop Dwelling on Your Past,” ?"Go with Your First Instinct,” and ?"The Drug Called Procrastination,” Elliot takes readers step by step into a journey of self-discovery, helping them learn how to be their best self through persistence, positive change (and thoughts), smart decision-making, and faith in God. The result is a blueprint for breaking the cycle of failure and misery in life"and ?"trading up” for the life God intended His children to live.

 

Throughout the book she quotes from several notable sources, including George Washington, who said, ?"We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.”
