Bargain Price
A few weeks ago I was rummaging through the sale shelves of the local library and bought this book “You Can Be Happy No Matter What”, by Richard Carlson, at the bargain price of 20 pence. I have just started reading it tonight and I think it is really great. I am very familiar with a lot of the contents in the book but it really is great to have a refresher on it from a different author. Below are some amazing quotes from the book and I do hope it connects with you in some way as they did me. 🙂
- “Life is not your enemy, but your thinking can be.”
- “When we feel better we have more access to our own wisdom and common sense. We tend to be less reactive, defensive, and critical; we make better decisions and we communicate more effectively.”
- “It is our ‘transmitter’ mind, not our computer mind, that is the source of our contentment, joy and wisdom.”
- “The ‘transmitter’ is the part that deals with matters of the heart.”
- “New answers don’t come from what you already know in the computer part of your brain. They come from change of heart, from seeing life differently, from the unknown, quieter part of yourself.“
Meant to Be
This book happened to fall off my bookshelf tonight, it is as if I was meant to read it and share the learning with you in this blog post. I am only on the third chapter so I am sure I will blog about the learnings from it some more.
What books do you have on your bookshelf that deserve a first or second look, it might just be the book you need to read right now?
Lots of love to you today, as always Clarabelle
