My Thoughts
I can imagine reading this book at some other life juncture and thinking "ah, that's nice" and moving on. That is, I can imagine reading it and not taking it seriously, and not getting very much out of it. But a number of things have come together just at this point in my life to cause me to pay special attention to this idea.
Hope keeps us alive. Yes, living each of the moments in life, keeps me alive no matter what.
I keep my self engaging in all those activities which makes me feel good, relieved. And not only those, as I have mentioned I live each moments whether those include..sadness, anger, happiness, numbness etc.
In Sorrow: I cry..cry like child! Just let my pain out.
In happiness: I laugh again like child! I really don't concern how childish I might be seem.
Love everything about this book. One of the best books of wisdom and inspiration I've ever read.This is a beautifully crafted book in which author explains the story from the perspective of his inner, private world. It's brilliantly written. This book is to me one of the most important books I've ever read.
Highly Recommended!
