Live Completely


"French essayist Michel Eyquem de Montaigne wrote, "The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little." The truth is that you can spend your life any way you want, but you can spend it only once. Becoming a big-picture thinker can help you to live with wholeness, to live a very fulfilling life. People who see the big picture expand their experience because they expand their world. As a result, they accomplish more than narrow minded people. And they experience fewer unwanted surprises, too, because they are more likely to see the many components involved in any given situation: issues, people, relationships, timing, and values. They are also, therefore, usually more tolerant of other people and their thinking."

"Thinking For A Change" couldn't have been a more fitting title for this one from author John C. Maxwell. The above paragraph was taken from one of his many self help, motivational books designed for us to come to our senses some what, and realize that we hold the key within ourselves to open any door we desire.  I have read this book..... Honestly ...I haven't completed it yet, but it has helped me to realize certain thinking patterns I have so I can try to correct them. 

The mind is a powerful thing, and as Thomas Edison said  -"If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."



So take the challenge today, astound yourself and Live Completely!
