Our Thoughts

When I first started reading this book, it was hard to get into. It kept saying how when you transform your life, you'll love it, but it seemed to never get into the "how" of transforming your life. Persevering, further into the book some snipits of information started to make sense in the how-to process. The big picture of this book can be summed up with the typical, "to talk the talk you must walk the walk". You must put your dreams into actions and step our of your comfort zone to grow as a person!

It gave insight in how to recognize your body actions and emotions to show whether you are or are not working towards your greater good. One of the things I liked the most is how this book broke down what we think we feel, into what we're really feeling. For example, if we want to be rich and famous, what are the main things we want? Love and respect, and then it gives you a blueprint from which to work on the love and respect, the rest will follow. Reading others stories of how they transformed their life was inspirational as well.
