Book Cover & Preview Text
Pain Triggered by Senseless Decisions (PTSD)
This book was inspired or birth from the wounds of my personal irrational decisions and its unexpected consequences. My wrestling for personal fulfillment of purpose was truly painful and difficult. The sporadic moments of happiness and brief periods of restricted self-confidence could not bridge the gap between reality and gladness. Overwhelming desires to unhinge myself from my personal despair, deep depression, and the persistent taunting of mental anguish were unsuccessful. It took the power of a renewed mind for me to aggressively confront and accept the missteps of my past.
"Pray to me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15 became my lifeline of assurance and my compass for the journey ahead. “But the Lord was with Joseph” in Genesis 39:21 embraced me with the reassurance I needed to harness both perseverance and resilience. This writing is designed and intended to “Help Broken People Rebuild the Broken Walls of Their Lives.” Allow it to inspire you to open your eyes to the conditions of your heart and to encourage you to confront the reality of your pain. Pride, delusions, and denials are your enemies and functions as roadblocks to prevent your recovery. You will need the tools necessary to resist and bind the spirits of hurt, rejection, fear, anger, revenge, sorrow, depression, discouragement, resentment, and unforgiveness. Do not waste your Social Currency investing in false narratives of careless people hoping to earn some interest and favor that will never yield any dividends. You will also need to retune your thoughts relative to the concept of “change” in your pursuit for internal peace.

About the Book
Inspired and birthed from author Felix B. Duckworth, Sr. ‘s irrational personal decisions and their unexpected outcomes, The Struggle is Real helps broken people rebuild the broken walls of their lives.
Duckworth tells that instead of allowing his destructive actions to redefine who he was or to permanently pervert his self-image, he seized the journey as a golden opportunity to rediscover himself, allowing God to re-mold and fashion him into whom he is meant to be. Through a variety of scriptures and personal testimony, Duckworth encourages you to thank God for the Holy Ghost as a compass to help you navigate life’s journey.
The Struggle is Real shows you how to utilize the fallout of your misguided decisions and reckless choices as building blocks to redesign and restructure your life and revamp your image. It helps you take stock of your life, get off the merry-go-round, slow your thoughts, and get your balance.
