Simple Truths, A Self Help Guide to Help You Find Your Own Success, Peace, and Happiness
by Thomas M. Coletta
Christian Author Shares Simple Truths to Happiness, Success, and Finding One’s Life Purpose
[Mountain Home, AR January 19, 2010] “God did not create you to fail,” says http://www.tommycolettamarketing.com [Thomas M. Coletta] Christian speaker and author in his new book, “Simple Truths.” Packed with straightforward advice to help people find happiness, success, and discover their true life purpose, Coletta shines a beacon of light for those who are struggling with self-esteem, their career, unemployment, drug or alcohol abuse, lifestyle or who need help for their relationship.
http://www.tommycolettamarketing.com [Simple Truths] is a collection of vignettes that explores problems and presents solutions. Based on an unshakable faith in the Word of God, Coletta uses simple language to convey a simple message. However, the result is a book that does what few self-help books truly can: it helps readers assess their own issues and find their own solutions. Although he refers to himself as a simple guy, his message is powerful. Some might even say it is revolutionary.
Formerly an award-winning salesman wrapped up in the material life, Coletta knows firsthand how to disentangle from greed and suffering and build anew on a foundation of true Christian values.
Instead of competing with others for bigger paychecks, shinier cars and designer clothes, Coletta helps people understand that the real prize is in finding their purpose in life. Readers return to the fundamentals of good living through a series of assignments in which they identify why they have trouble coping with their problems and find solutions. Instead of striving for the things commercials tell them they should want, readers pursue their own dreams. In the process, they create genuine happiness and discover the success God meant for them to have.
“We make life so complicated when it’s really very simple,” Coletta says. “If you are created in God’s image then God did not create you to fail.”
His process builds an amazing, fulfilling life from the simplest of truths. “If I was going to correct my life, I had to go back to the basics,” Coletta says. “My priorities became God, Christ and the people around me.”
Coletta used to be a dedicated participant in today’s consumer-driven society. While working for Copy Products, Inc., he was their national top salesman despite being assigned to the company’s smallest office. He replicated this level of success at Toyota and other Fortune 500 companies, even setting a historic sales record at one firm. He was no stranger to high-figure deals or the rewards doled out by his employers.
Yet his personal life suffered. He married three times and admitted to “cutting up quite a bit” when he should have taken things more seriously. In addition to his own mistakes, the world around him was filled with war, materialism, violence, and endless competition. Even Christmas looked like nothing more than a buying spree that sparked fights over shopping mall parking spots.
“I don’t think there are any clothing stores, cars or copiers in heaven,” Coletta says. “I realized I was created to do more than just sell things.”
Thus began his long voyage through libraries of self-help, religious and spiritual books and seminars. But in an avalanche of exercises and a blizzard of pages, not once did he find the simple truths that would lead him to lasting peace and happiness.
At one point, he felt a presence pushing him to the floor. “I was nothing,” Coletta says. “It hurt and I was powerless. I felt like a fly that was about to be swatted. Then this story started coming to me. It said: ‘This is simple, keep it simple’.”
And so he did. He returned to the only baseline that means anything: God and Christ are first. After that, his next priority became caring for himself, his health, and his self-esteem. The moment he centered his life around these basic truths, everything changed. He left the crowded bustle of Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Mountain Home, Arkansas. In that quiet, peaceful place Simple Truths was born.
“Everyone knows their own problems but it can be embarrassing to talk about them with other people. Simple Truths helps readers evaluate themselves,” he says. By the end of the book, each reader will have discovered who they are, what they are, and what they want. Their answers will help them to create their own sense of self-confidence, happiness and success.
That’s truly as simple as it gets.
Coletta is available for public speaking engagements based on “Simple Truths”. He also provides specialized sales seminars for corporate venues. A workbook of motivational exercises entitled, “M.E.,” is available for distribution at any of his events. Special arrangements can also be made to use copies of his book for fundraising.

CHURCHES-CORPORATE MONEY MAKERS OR REAL HOUSES OF GOD?
This has always been hard for me to understand because if God created the entire universe it is hard for me to believe as many preachers, pastors, and priest say that their church is the house of God.
Where did Christ preach? I will tell you all along the roadsides-in villages- on mountain sides and mountain tops along the seas on the sea shore.
Now, this goes along with tithing. I once had a brief conversation with a very powerful preacher. I asked him this question. “Where does my tithing do the best? If I give the church 10% and the church goes out a buys another hymnal, pays a salary to the assistant choir director, buys another picture or stained glass window or If I take the 10% and go to a homeless, deserving family who is hungry and poor and bought them food, or help pay their gas or electric bill, or help them with a medical bill. Where has my tithing done the best?
He was befuddled and stuttered as he said well of course the second example. Case closed. Well, then why can’t all the churches ban together come together as Christ described and help all those in need? Excuse me but is this the correct way for Christianity to be? Think of the millions of dollars that could go helping the sick, afflicted, the poor.
Can anyone tell me how much money or salary was or Christ had or was paid- How about Peter, Paul, James, John etc.?
I know just in the city of Memphis, you could go around the corner and there be another Baptist Church, Presbyterian Church, Methodist, or Catholic. Most of the churches do not even fill all the pews why can’t they join another branch saving mortgage payments, pastor salaries, electrical bills, phone bills, office expenses, etc.
I personally feel like if I am going to pay any money to people who spread the word and work for the goodwill of man-I would say I would rather donate my tithing to the missionaries all those who go out into the world to help mankind with their work and not merely by their word.
I know that this could work because at Easter I have attended and seen where all religions banned together and rented a stadium, forum, or coliseum and came together in worship service.
Also, one belief of the early Christians was that there was no need for a church or leader to be paid to spread the gospel. Sorry guys, now I guess you will jump out there and try to smear me. Go ahead for Jesus, once said, “If you believe in me- Come with me leave everything behind do not turn back and follow me.”
I am not about condemning churches I am just saying or thinking would it make sense?
Also, as far as some man made building being the house of God- I cannot recollect any of the early prophets who experienced visions of God as being in the house of God. Abraham, Moses, or John all experienced visions - a burning bush for example- all were out in the open nature?
Maybe I am wrong but that’s my opinion and you have yours. All I know that by combining all religious man made buildings and channeling all the money would certainly help out our fellow man and is that what Christianity is supposed to be all about.
I am not trying to attack any one church or religion-I am just thinking out aloud.
Where is Christianity best served?
In the real world or in a man made brick building?
How about you?

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY THIS WOULD BE
What if Today?
What if today:
We all started to unite and refused to fight each other-Our soldiers looked across the battlefield and refused to kill one another and reached out in fellowship.
We negotiated our differences with words instead of war.
The human race runs on blood-not oil.
What if today:
All our different churches decided to have services in one large stadium, auditorium, forum, or arena and took all the money we tithe and distributed it amongst the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the homeless instead of calling each individual church or temple the house of God-God dwells here when in truth when God created the entire universe and the earth is His footstool-it is hard for me to believe that He would confine Himself in a small man made structure of concrete, wood, and steel.
What if we truly lived up to the basis of all religious beliefs and thought and helped our fellow man.
So what if today:
You loved your neighbor.
You fed the hungry.
You gave shelter to the homeless.
You helped cure the sick.
You gave water to the thirsty.
You comforted the bereaved.
Oh, what a wonderful place, the world, would be.
Plainly speaking, in truth, you just did not recite the words of our prayer to our Father-You fulfilled them
Thy kingdom come-Thy shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.

TODAY
Today is the most important day of your life.
You can only live in the present. Have you ever heard that a present is a gift? So, the gift of the moment is the present.
The past is gone and the future may never come.
Pick up the phone and make that call you have been putting off to a loved one – tell them how much you love and appreciate them- make contact will all those you may have offended or done them wrong-Mend the break-ups-the sorrows, and the problems that you may have caused others.
Do the things you’ve always wanted to do and with whom you choose to do them with.
The most important thing to do is to live this day, today as if it were you last day to live.
