OG Mandino has a way of helping to put your life into perspective. This book told a story and through amazing storytelling but left an unimaginable impact on my life.
Things I learned from this book:
- We all have value in this world
- We are not alone, everyone has struggles but we have to see them as opportunities
- Everyone needs someone to talk to, we cannot go at life alone
- Sometimes the answers we are seeking are right here inside of us, yet we do not acknowledge that we have the power to fix things
- We have a greater purpose than to just exist
- Someone somewhere needs you here
- We are our own biggest obstacle, we have to be willing to get out of our own way
- We tend to overthink our problems and sometimes we just have to let them be worked out through positivity and courage
- If we choose to be something more tomorrow than we are today we will be.
- Choosing life is harder than choosing to not live, but choosing to live a life of depression is harder still.
Remember that we all have a purpose. We may not know what that purpose is, but we are meant to do something more in our lives than to work and struggle.
