While there were a few good points and great quotes, I found most of the book was things I already knew due to Bible principles. It was a quick read.

We usually say that life isn’t worth it and how we shouldn’t even bother... ⠀
⠀
But we totally should! ⠀
What is a life if not lived well? ⠀
Don’t die before you’re dead right? ⠀
⠀
And the last three chapters of this beautiful book sum up the whole purpose of making today count. We shouldn’t just come to the fact that we’re humans.... We have to decide to turn our humanity switch on. To think about other people and help share the love, care, energy, attention and time with them. ⠀
⠀
To be generous and giving should be goals in our lives. Giving money, time and energy to people will lead us to focus on people. Grow and help others grow and succeed with you. ⠀

“By choosing to embrace and practice good values every day, you choose the higher course in life. And your life goes in a direction that you will always feel good about. You may not always get what you desire, but you will always be the person you desire to be.” This quote sums up everything I want to say on Values⠀
——————-⠀
We live everyday growing older but whats the use if we didn’t mature and expanded our awareness? We need to let go of whats hurting, leave our comfort zones in order to achieve and become who we are supposed to be..... people want to change but nobody wants to take the step to do anything. Some want to be in a better place but aren’t doing anything about where they are now. ⠀
You want a good year? You focus on your days; because your days make up your weeks, make up your months; make a year ⠀
⠀
Bad year? remind yourself of your days

I swear books right now are just disappointment after disappointment.... this book gives you the most basic advice that you probably already know.

This was an easy read and worth the time. However, it is a bit overly simplistic. Life is not hardly as black or white as this book seems to portray. But still, commonsense tactics and a good reminder of tangible things to do for self-improvement.

i really enjoyed this book. the overall idea was great. i'm not religious so i took those comments/ideas with a grain of salt. however, it was a very easy read about leadership and gave me ideas that i can implement both in my life and the students i work with.
