Imagine just how different your life might be if you just dared to take a chance to make your fondest dreams come true!
In her new book, DARE TO TAKE CHARGE, Judge Glenda Hatchett challenges her readers to do just that - Take charge of their dreams and do everything possible to make them come true!
For nearly ten years, Judge Glenda Hatchett has delighted TV audiences with a brand of justice that turns the everyday into something eminently watchable.
Now she brings her unique brand of practical wisdom to encouraging people to take charge of their lives and make start reaching for their true potential.
Judge Hatchett's message can be distilled into the following two words:
Dare Yourself!
Whatever obstacles or fears one faces, Judge Hatchett’s prescription implores readers to write their own story in this life. With care and conviction, Judge Hatchett uses real life stories from the courtroom and her personal life to counsel readers, showing them how to find their true purpose and gifts, to be real about their reality and its potential outside of challenging circumstances, and to always be true to themselves.
Interactive as well as inspirational, DARE TO TAKE CHARGE challenges the reader at the end of each chapter to ask themselves reflective questions that lead to moments of self-discovery and a defined pathway to healing. Daring her audience to study the positive with the same interest and intensity that they study the negative, Judge Hatchett uncovers the potential for grace and success in lives that are now punctuated with despair and unfaithfulness.
One of my favorite chapters in this book is entitled "Hope and Joy." Judge Hatchett implores her readers that in order to make your dreams come true, you have to be optomistic and find a little bit of joy in your life each day. By taking time to keep track of the small bits of joy in a Joy Journal for a least three weeks can enable the reader to look back and see that there are bright spots to life.
DARE TO TAKE CHARGE isn't just for reading. There are assignments from the Judge throughout the book - each asking the reader to stop, think and write down goals, plans, dreams and more and how by doing this, you can push forward to making those passions into reality.
This is an amazing book that is meant to be read and used, and then re-read and re-used - a manual to taking charge of your life. And Judge Glenda Hatchett will be there cheering you on all the way to the finish line.
