One Step at a Time: or Autopilot
"One Step at a Time or Autopilot" is an urgent invitation to conscious presence in a world moving too fast to pause-and too dangerously to navigate on autopilot.
Written by Beatriz Mendon a, with a foreword by Dr. Rodrigo Martins, this book emerges from a personal journey defined not by the pursuit of happiness as a destination, but as a daily practice. Amidst life's relentless rush, anxiety about the future, and the prison of the past, Beatriz challenges us with a simple yet transformative question: Are you truly living your life... or merely passing through it?
With accessible language, real-life stories (some even humorous ), and profound reflections rooted in Christian faith, the author explores themes such as:
The tyranny of immediacy and the illusion of controlling time;The danger of living on "autopilot"-physically present but spiritually absent;The art of recognizing today as a gift (literally) from God;Happiness as a daily construction, built from small grains of attention, gratitude, and intentionality.More than a self-help manual, this work is a contemporary spiritual journal-inspired by God's Word and shaped by the experience of someone who once lost herself in life's frenzy and was rescued by the simplicity of taking one step at a time.
It also includes a powerful appendix featuring biblical declarations of identity, provision, and authority in Christ, grounded in Scripture, to strengthen your walk of faith.
Ideal for those who feel they're "spinning in circles," this book offers a path back to what truly matters: God's presence in the now.
Perfect for readers seeking balance between mind, soul, and spirit-and who long to exchange tomorrow's anxiety for today's peace.
"Happiness doesn't arrive ready-made; it's built in the dust of small moments that haste insists on sweeping under the rug."
