I’m grateful for wonderful books. I came across this one, Everyday Greatness, (Stephen R Covey, David K Hatch) at the library last week when Ethan was stocking up. It has heaps of great quotes, and some short stories that are incredibly inspiring. I learned more about Abraham Lincoln’s early days, in the chapter titled Humility. His attitude in the face of opposition and outright scorn was amazing.
I don’t have time to read the whole book now, as mine’s getting ready for printing, but taking breaks from the computer I’ve walked around reading a few quotes here and there.
After speaking with Pam Hardgrave from Lillydale, QLD, who is one of the inspiring entrepreneurs in my new book, I found this quote – relevant to Pam who has a great sense of humour, even in challenging times.
“If you’re going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now. – Marie Osmond
I have another great book called the pocket book of positives, which my dear friend Sandra Groom gave me last year when she visited us. It’s useful to have a book like these within reach for when you want a break from the detail of editing, or are doing anything else that drains your energy.
Cheering you on,
Love Kerrie
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share the day, the weekend, and the business journey with some very inspiring people. It’s been said that we are same person 5 years from now except for the books you read and the people you spend time with. This is an exciting thought, as I read great books, by great people, and spend time with big thinkers; generous people who are passionate and making a difference in the world.
So grateful today for some very exciting mail… especially for the sender! Julie Woods, That Blind Woman, from New Zealand, launched her book recently, and popped a couple in the mail to me. How exciting! The book covers Julie’s first 10 years of blindness, and explores her learning along the way.
Felicity Newton is one of our Create the Life Club members and a most enthusiastic, encouraging one at that! I’m grateful for Felicity as she is always so positive and encouraging, she says that I’m a breath of fresh air, that I’m so inspiring, but I think people see in others what is in themselves.
