The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change By Stephen Covey

Well what an amazing book and a great must read!

It’s no secret, I love reading! I have the aim of a book a week and also listen to a book every week or two using audible. I love it and I am hooked.

When someone who inspires me mentions a great book to read I get this impulse to purchase. I use to have list of books to read but it was getting too long, enough to cover an entire year. I just read what is of interest to me in the moment or what sounds of interest and is on hands.

Here is a book review I wrote a couple of years ago and have now updated into podcast form also. If you are going to read one thing today start reading this book – forget this post.

I don’t share all the books I listen to or read as sometimes I find it hard to share the value they offer but this one is a must read. I was attracted to it by my amazon recommendation and was caught by the tittle, so impulse click, it was shipped to me from the US.

When You Take an Interest in Life More of it Will Show Up

It is surprisingly funny how, when you focus on attention on one thing in particular, more of it suddenly appears in life.

I was with my partner on an outing in Japan and I made a comment to her about how interesting it was that we don’t see many pregnant women getting out and about. Her response was that perhaps we just aren’t looking for pregnant women.

It made me think about how true it is that when we focus our attention on something how much more of it shows up in our lives. Sure enough I started seeing pregnant women everywhere. (more…)

210: Leigh Martinuzzi| Why are you here: Why am I here? A Question & Thought to Ponder!

What is my purpose? What is the reason I exist? What am I meant to do?

The ultimate question of life, why?

I don’t pretend to have all the answers nor do I agree that my view on this question will be relevant or consistent in time. I do believe this though, as I search for deeper meaning and I ask myself this question, why am I here, I am because I am.

It may be easy to brush of the reality of this question but we all attempt to at some level claim reason for our life whether that be through the things that we own, the way we behave or what we pursue. We all are searching for our why.

Positively Resilient: 5 1/2 Secrets to Beat Stress, Overcome Obstacles, and Defeat Anxiety by Doug Hensch

Resilient; a person able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.

What an interesting read and I believe very relative to all of us. Think about it. When was the last time you faced a difficult situation and despite all the happenings you were able to spring back?

Think of a sponge placed in a pool of water overcome by the heaviness of the water it soaks up and suddenly is unable to soak up any more. Like life at times, pressured and saturated by conflict we can become so weighed down that it feels almost impossible that we will dry out and get back on track. I am sure this is the reality for many souls. What if you could learn the secrets of not only being resilient to absorbing the weight of the world but also the skills and ability to squeeze it out. How would that make your life better?

Don’t Let Your Failures Stop You. Let Your Wins Drive You

It is all too easy in life to allow your failures to put a halt on living your dreams. Sometimes we are our own worse critics. Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and when we don’t get the result we set out to achieve, we give up, even though we are greater than we were before starting out.

It is our human nature to be to hard on ourselves especially in defeat. When we set goals and challenge our potential we start out with great ambition and determination. As time progresses and we delve deeper into our challenge so do the obstacles that we may face continue. (more…)
