A book review...

I just finished reading The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews. If you are needing any sort of motivation or inspiration in your personal and/or professional life, this is the book for you. The main character receives 7 decisions or affirmations through a series of dreams. The people he encounters are important characters in history and themselves facing great strife and/or having to make major decisions in life.

Here are some of my favorite lessons learned from the book:
*Instead of asking 'why me', ask 'why NOT me'
*My past can never be changed but I can change the future by changing my actions TODAY
*I choose now. Many people are waiting for God but I realize that sometimes God is waiting for ME!
*I will awaken each morning with an excitement about the new day
*Today I will choose to be happy
*Have a forgiving spirit. I forgive myself and others, even if they don't ask for it
*I am not most people. I compare myself to my potential. I am not average


If you've read this book, I'd love to hear your opinion on it and if you choose to read this book, let me know what you think!
