BOOK REVIEW FOR YOUR WEEK

Waiting for Jack

Confessions of a Self-Help Junkie:  How to Stop Waiting & Start Living Your Life

By Kristen Moeller

Reviewed by Catherine Pulsifer

 

What a great book. Actually, one of the best books I have read in a long time! As I read this book, I could see reflections of myself and I could see others that I knew that could benefit from this book.  The author, Kristen Moeller, has written this book in a way that we can all relate to it.  It is a book about how we sometimes wait for things to happen rather than make it happen. The stories in the book are ones that reflect every day life and you may find yourself relating to one or more of these stories.

 

The author shares her life experiences with us and questions us at the end of each chapter. She includes famous quotes that support her writings and ones that are great for reflection.

 

Here are a few quotes from the book, which will give you a sense of the book:

 

"All we have is now."

 

"I was putting my life on hold instead of getting our there in the world and creating what I said I want to create."

 

"Only we can take the action that will create the transformation we seek."

 

"Tragically, many of us live our entire lives without fulfilling our dreams."

 

"Responsibility is a grace we give ourselves.  It is not something imposed from outside of us. We have a say in how our life goes."

 

"A day was simply how it was, and everything else was my interpretation."

 

"Problems occur when we measure who we are by what we have or have not done."

 

"When we judge people, we disconnect from them."

 

"Animals can inspire us to be less busy, more present, less worried, more joyful, and more passionate about life.  They will never judge us for the things we do or don't do."

 

"When we compare ourselves to others, it's easy to come up short, because few things are equal."

 

"We seek progress through practice. Practice means to improve by repeating.  It doesn't mean we will get it right."

 

The author has a way of helping us see areas of our life where we are sitting waiting rather than taking action.  She shares with us her six principles that help us to take action. To quote principle #1,  "simple actions can lead to extraordinary results."  If you are not where you want to be in life, then take the simple action of buying this book; you may find it leading you to extraordinary results!

 

The book is available at Amazon.com

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

When We Share

Poet  Unknown

 

When we share laughter, there's twice the fun;

When we share success, we surpass what we've done.

 

When we share problems, there's half the pain;

When we share tears, a rainbow follows rain.

 

When we share dreams, they become more real;

When we share secrets, it's our hearts we reveal.

 

If we share a smile, then our love shows;

If we share a hug, then our love grows.

 

If we share with someone on whom we depend,

That person becomes family or friend.

 

And what draws us closer and makes us all care,

Is not what we have, but the things that we share.

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

You May Count That Day

POET: George Eliot

 

If you sit down at the set of sun

And count the acts that you have done,

And counting, find

One self-denying deed, one word

That eased the heart of him who heard -

One glance most kind,

That fell like sunshine where it went -

Then you may count that day well spent.

 

But if, through all the livelong day,

You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay -

If, through it all

You've nothing done that you can trace

That brought the sunshine to one face -

No act most small

That helped some soul and nothing cost -

Then count that day as worse than lost.
