The Guide to Make 2021 The Best Year
Move Up
“We all eventually face something much bigger than we are. We all get in situations—some by fate, others by our own doing—that seem too big to overcome. I call these life knockouts (LKOs).
If you have ever experienced an LKO or are in the midst of one, this book is for you. If life seems to be knocking you down with little hits more often than it lifts you up, this book is also for you.”
– Kimberly S. Reed
About the Book
Eight years ago, Kim hit rock bottom. Her mother lost her battle with cancer, her grandmother died of a broken heart, and just a few months later Kim herself was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. When faced with struggles like these, most would feel defeated. Many would ask why me? Kim did too.
Yet despite the myriad of challenges Kim faced, she did something else too.
In her mother’s final days, she observed an unimaginable optimism that has since transformed her life. Difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life. Regardless of what comes, every person yet has complete control over their personal response to the situation. Optimists Always Win offers readers a plan for responding with positivity and hope for both the challenges and blessings that come their way.
