No matter what your career or future goals and dreams I highly recommend this book. It gave me so many insights into work and career and how to get ahead so to speak. There are some things I really gained from it and found to be very inspiring to me. Here are some of the examples from the book:

“Though I have dreams and walk in my life purpose, there is no way to possibly grasp the breadth and Depth of what I am becoming.”

I feel like with every step I take I am getting closer to my dreams and goals. – Me

“I believe that God is in charge of everything and that his greater plans will ultimately prevail. In fact, one of the gifts That belief affords me is the realization of life’s little twists and turns, trials and errors, are truly some of the best gifts though I could not choose them for myself, later on I am grateful for each of them.” -the book

That is the way I feel. Like when my basement flooded and even though it was terrible. I made a choice to then go on and move to a different room which, I know I probably would not have done otherwise and now I believe it’s all working out for the best.- Me

“More grows in the garden than the gardener knows he has sown.” -Spanish Proverb

It’s amazing how we can touch other people. Just today I got an email from someone saying that what I had written really encouraged her and those where the words she needed to hear at that moment. I imagine the people I can touch and help and not even realize all the good I do in this world. I am glad to be a blessing to others and I know others are a blessing to me as well.- Me

“You are the only person on earth who can use your ability” – Zig zigler

I am so touched to have my abilities. I am not saying I’m great but I’m slowly figuring out myself and what I’m good at. I want to use the talents I’ve been blessed with mainly to help other people and let others know they are not alone. – Me

“We should instead look for moments of exchange with people who offer nuggets of wisdom that we can apply. I have found this concept to work brilliantly in a variety of ways. Not only so I seek these moments with a variety of people. But, I am find I’m mentor via articles, books I read, and by leaders I observe and admire from a distance, sometimes even through conversations I overhear in a bus or on the train. All of these sources Briefly mentor me in ways I want and need for my personal life and career.” -The book

I find that I can get so much inspiration and encouragement from other people. When we take the time to focus on others and get out of our own heads it’s amazing how much we can learn. That’s why I love listening. But, I write because I know that helps people and I talk when I think I have something someone can glean from me.-me

“A few simple changes in your daily routine can improve the quality of your life. from now on when you read a book, make the author your mentor and always read with a pen in your hand. As you get used to reading with a pen in hand, you begin to cultivate the habit of taking notes of things you actually think, in addition to what you thought you read. We must learn to read, But only to get our own minds in motion and start our thought process.”-Charlie Jones

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience and trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened and success achieved.” -Helen Keller

“Do what you need to do to get out of what you don’t like. If you stay too long, you get disillusioned and it negatively impacts your work. That really ends up hurting you not the company or the position. But you do what you need to do in your current role, but aggressively look outside that role for other opportunities.” -The book
