AUTHOR ASKS, “ARE YOU AN ARCHITECT OR DEMOLITION EXPERT?”

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA---In his new book, The Power of Having Desire, Bruce Garrabrandt writes that all people choose to be either architects or demolition experts.  “We can believe in our potential for growth,” he says, “or we can tear ourselves down with the words ‘I can’t’.”

            If we’re not going to build meaningful lives for ourselves, Garrabrandt tells readers, then we should at least acknowledge that we wield the wrecking ball.  He thinks many people avoid the fear and discomfort associated with personal growth by withdrawing into themselves and complaining about all that is wrong with the world.

            “For every positive, a cynic can point to the negative,” says the author.  “An optimist knows every negative contains a positive.  Both are correct,” he adds, “but only one enjoys a healthy mind and a happy, rewarding life.”

            Garrabrandt insists that a cynical, callous spirit grows to suffocate appreciation and gratitude—keys, he says, to happiness.  “You cannot effectively act as both Nature’s work of art and Her art critic,” he writes.  “Either live and breathe Her creativity or tear yourself apart.  You must make the choice.”

            The author contends that many people prefer the security of a known ditch to the adventure of an unknown road.  “Their attitude about themselves and life is self-crippling,” he says.   “’Cynic’ is just another name for someone who has given up.”
