Title: Design
Your Own Destiny: Life Planning for the 21st Century
Author: Mary A Molloy
Review: I
was a bit skeptical of this book at first.
I had read, The Secret, and some of that was just so out there it was
hard to take it seriously. This book is
a bit more down to earth, but a similar feeling on the fact that positive attitude
and behavior begets positive attitude and behavior. I read the first few chapters and decided to
try the visualization at night of letting the negative go and soaking up the
positive. I am a substitute teacher and was in a difficult
room for a few weeks with EBD middle schoolers….tough room to say the least and
a few times I thought of just walking out and going home. Well I worked on letting go of the negative and
soaking in the positive every morning and night. I would plan on having a fabulous day and I
thought about that all day and even with problems and chairs flying at my head
I did have a great day.
Also I decided to try
positive thinking with other areas and I entered two writing contests on-line
that were free. I won a consolation
prize on the first and 2nd prize on the second. So I now have a signed copy of a best-seller
from the author and $50 GC to Amazon.
Talk about positive bringing more positive into my life. Also I decided that I needed to work less,
because of grad school, and yet make more money. Two days later I was in a long-term situation
where the pay is always better.
Now you may think this
was all luck…maybe…but I think it was the positive thinking and I will be doing
that from now on…I enjoy things more and I am a happier person to be around…if
that is all I get out of the book then it was worth reading it. I would suggest this to everyone out there.
Along with the first
few chapters I used in my life, there is planning sheets for planning your
life. This is a great idea of anyone and
when I have more time I plan on using them more fully.
Get this book and GET
A LIFE ----- For Real!!!
