By Julian Melendez

Go Into the exit and test of time and see what the end is like for those who stare at death in it's face. A Double Stage (4) liver and kidney failure survivor shares his true story on the fight for his life, in the hopes of helping others in their moments of need. To show them that they are not alone in their pain and suffering. That the hope for more TIME and to slow down TIME is at the asking. Learn what he did and what it took to extend his TWO WEEK DEATH SENTENCE according to Doctors and others," by (7) MONTHS, just in time to receive his double Transplant Miracles with just a day or so to live.

This book was designed to be of some service to others when it comes to the support of their loved ones' illnesses and suffering in their time of need. I hope that because of our time of need and the support that we experience and went through, it would somehow help other families get through their moments of need.

All proceeds on my end will go to a non-profit organization that has been designed and established for the sole purpose of helping others help themselves in their medical support needs and cost in order to help ease their pain. For this time I'm grateful and happy to give back as I was blessed and saved by the help of others.

Julian Melendez

The author both his mind and heart would have discovered that life is more—infinitely more—than eating, drinking, breathing, wearing clothes, having fun, taking up room; that the cradle is not its beginning and the grave is not the end; that he is akin to the centuries past and joined to the centuries to come; that the fire that burns within is borrowed from the altar of eternal being; that the desires and hopes and longings that keep him ever restless are born of an awareness that the infinitudes are his by right of inheritance; that the stream on which he is being carried along takes its rise beyond the boundary of time and empties into some sea of infinite expanse; that the depths of life are too deep to be filled with gold, its longings are too insistent to be hushed by the trifles of time, and its expanse is too vast to be filled by the slogan Have Fun. /A.A.M

MY CONCERNS

"Things do not just happen, as many people think, They come to pass, and are the results of our Thoughts, actions, deeds.

If we make mistakes in life we will pay the price. You see we are the arbiters of our destiny.

Things which we allow to lodge in heart and life are the seed, and the seed will mature a harvest according to the law of LIKE PRODUCES LIKE.

The laws of life is… All seeds will mature a harvest according to type. WISDOM IS THE FACULTY OF KNOWING WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT OF A CAUSE.

We will sink or soar according to the choices we make. BUT THE NATURAL LAWS WHEN OBEYED GUARANTEE THE HIGHEST AND BEST LIFE FOR WHICH WE WERE DESIGNED TO LIVE.

AUTHOR’S FOREWORD

THIS BOOK IS BASE ON A TRUE STORY, of my moments of my Months, weeks, and days left on this earth to live.

As I found my self with short time left and NEEDED MORE TIME I had a thought of my past studies of how to reapply the proper cause in order to create the proper effects, and that was to RESET MY MIND SET.

I HAD TO DELIBERATELY TAKE CONTROL OF MY THOUGHT PROCCESS. MY PAST LESSONS of study from a famous, philosopher, Alfred Armand Montapert,

when I was in search of how to better my self as a person, That was my starting point Who I have learned from in the past and has been MY MENTOR and inspiration ever since my early days in the late 1970" ALONG with other philosophers and motivated speakers in that field of inspiration and self improvement.

SEGMENT 1

CAUSE AND EFFECT

When it came to the business of living Wrote Alfred M" Said life is not a smooth paved highway, on which one travels from birth until death.

It is uphill, downhill, plateaus, Valleys, Chuck holes, Booby traps, Like an obstacle course. The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled.

We must climb the mountain peaks, cross a number of abysses, and charms, on our journey through life.

The philosophy of this philosopher has helped me fight back from my near death experience. I was able to reapply that philosophy to my self as I remembered that AS I THINK I AM".

Mans thoughts decides his destiny. Wrote Alfred M, As a man thinketh –SO IS HE. Emerson said, Man is what he thinks, Jesus Crist Said, As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.

Markus Aurelius said," Our life is what our thoughts make it. So I refused to except defeat as a reality, as I was in denial of my health condition ever since my first incident in 2009.

When I first had learned of my health challenges that nearly ended my existence, and my life, that’s when I found out I was diabetic.

I was then informed as I suspected that my liver started to show signs of it going bad and with my age of 49 then, and my health and body not being in tip, top, shape, I new I had some work to do.

I drew concern towards my health and I started to notice the way my body started to feel.

My faith and belief through the power of prayer, and love from family, friends, the wisdom from my Supreme higher power. And with some of my old literature that I had come across as a young man, seeking answers to questions about life and how to best live it.

I’ve come to remember and realize that NO ONE EVER IS DEFEATED, UNTIL DEFEAT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS A REALITY, IN MY MIND SET THAT WAS THE SEED I NEEDED TO PLANT AGAIN And AGAIN and I did. So I will do my very best to reveal the events of my experience based on my memory of my events. THIS IS MY STORY"

My book is written with this sole purpose of helping others help themselves and should be read as a reference book as a reminder when it comes to the business of living a happy life and for consolation for those in need.

I refused to except defeat as a reality. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been excepted as a reality.

SEGMENT 2

MY STRIVE TO SURVIVE……………….

In my strive to survive I refused to except all my doctors opinion on how much time I had left to live.

Many doctors from several hospitals tried to decide my fate. I was forced to learn for the sake of my survival to stay focus on my will to live regardless of my time left according to others.

I was forced to reach deep down and utilize what ever energy I had left. All that was constantly on my mind was that I NEEDED MORE TIME .

TIME GOES, YOU
