Life Compass. Dr. Chilungamo Khuwi

      Foreword

      You hold in your hands a life resource which, if read and applied, will guarantee you a unique, productive and joyful life. The principles outlined in this book are universal laws of life which most people are not exposed to, yet these laws are in operation all the time and determine the outcomes of our lives. Chilungamo Khuwi has systematically unpacked some of these laws to help us better manage, plan and live purposeful lives. He shares some of his own experiences in an applied and practical manner. Many have grown up and gone through the stages of life without this crucial knowledge. In many ways, you are blessed to have this knowledge come to you right now.

      The adage, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” by Benjamin Franklin comes alive in this ground-breaking book. Beginning with the core concept of identity, Chilungamo takes you on a reflective journey that forces you to pause and think along each step of the way. He then marries your identity to the concept of purpose, your life isn’t just there for fun, there is a purpose to it, and you need to understand and build your decisions around what that is. Our lives are part of a bigger design and the book addresses spirituality and how we can connect with God through meditation. Our character defines us and determines the personality that outputs from us. This is beautifully unpacked in this book.

      The book takes on a practical and applied approach addressing leadership, finances and relationships all with real examples from Chilungamo’s life. You will gain the greatest value from this book by continuously applying what you read to your own life. It is a book that will jump-start your life from living other people’s visions for you to taking back responsibility and ownership for the outcome of your life. As you read, pause and reflect. We know that reflection is an important aspect of mental wellbeing. This book promotes many aspects of your wellbeing. It is your companion for a successful and God honouring life.

      St. Irenaeus is reported to have said: “The glory of God is man fully alive”. In other words, when you come fully alive, you live the purpose for which God created you, you contribute to the growth and development of humanity, then God is glorified. With this book, you are set on the course for coming fully alive, alive to your life mission, fulfilled relationships and the manifestation of the application of the universal laws of life you will be expose to. The world needs alive people. Come alive! Your time has come!
