      It takes incredible strength to stay positive and committed to your journey, especially when others don’t see your potential.
      Remember, sometimes the most important belief is the one you have in yourself. Keep being that light-you are on the right path, and your resilience will shine through. You’ve got this!

    My top 5 picks :
    1. How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie
    2. Eat that Frog - Brian Tracy
    3. What to do when there is too much to do - Laura Stack
    4. Atomic Habits - James Clear
    5. One Minute Manager - Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
    But I just love reading books as I found them as my best companions and treasures to hold them forever!! Books give me lot of ideas, insights, and inputs more importantly the positive vibe!!
    I prefer the tagline - Read and Share which I do regularly to ensure that I don't forget what I read and also benefit others while sharing.

    We're all different, we all need different input to open up our minds and hearts. This was about you, thank you for sharing, but to everyone else - don't judge a book's possible value to you by its value for someone else. Choose the book that draws your interest. It's for you. ❤

      Love this, you're absolutely right, what resonates with one person might not resonate with another, and that’s the beauty of our individual journeys. We all find inspiration in different places, and it’s important to trust what draws us in personally. I appreciate your thoughtful reminder to follow our own path and choose what speaks to us. ❤️ Here is to more growh

    Great recommendations, I’ll have to explore some of these! One book that has had a huge impact on my life and mindset is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The whole idea of the power of being present and how to process and manage the “pain body” not only helped me through a devastating period of my life (10 years ago) but is a mindset that continues to bring me inner peace today and live life to to the fullest each day. This book changed my life.

    The book that has had the most profound influence on my life, is Jonathan Livingston Seagull (original version) by Richard Bach. Some other influential books that found me when I needed them were: Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, and The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which I consider to be one of the most profound spiritual books, ever written---they did market it as a children's book, but you have to have knocked around in the world, for a bit, to really understand what was being said.
