There are two ways of looking at the word spirit. The first is realizing and understanding that what the great transcendentalist writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson said is true, ¿Greater are they who are able to see that spiritual is stronger than any materials force; thoughts rule the world.¿ Yes, they do. That is a biblical principle and the sooner that individuals realize it, the more effective and the more powerful they will become as individuals who can more readily take charge of their lives and where they are headed as they begin to control their thought life.Emerson also said, ¿the ancestor of every action is a thought.¿ So, there is a spiritual aspect to overcoming challenges. The other way of looking at the word spirit resides in an individual¿s attitude toward life. Many times, it has been said that it¿s not what happens to you that makes a difference in your life but how you handle and respond to what happens to you. This book will be an eye-opener for many primarily because it contains stories about individuals and their ability to overcome tragedies that befell them in life. How would you have handled them? What would you have done? Often times, these are the questions that many are asked and how they respond determines whether or not they fail or they succeed. What we are talking about here is the resiliency of the human spirit to overcome the challenges it faces on a daily basis.Through the teaching of various principles, stories and experiences, The Triumph of The Spirit shows individuals the types of things they simply must do to move beyond their comfort zone in an effort to make great things happen.
