Review: I can gladly mention that this is likely to be my first blog of the year 2021. I cannot experience my feeling of starting this journey, yet again after a lot of struggle. What a start of the reading journey this year, reading a self-help book. I couldn’t compose myself to read this book on the go. I would admit that I did finish this book in bits and pieces. Reading whenever I got some time out of work. The author of self-help books draws life experience and jots the moment which we would have experienced in life. Self-help books are most of the realistic approaches to fight and win battles going on within us. The author has described his life and miseries coming along his way. Could you possibly think of a military-trained person to quit his/her life? It is too difficult to even imagine that as they are trained to be rock solid. I couldn’t believe the author’s suicide attempt. However, then came the part about self-realization and holding oneself accountable for the life we have. In most of situations, it is our decision that would have been accountable for our misery. In the case of the author, his personal life suffered due to his work life. But when he got a chance to live the life again, his partner wasn’t willing to give in. Many times, you would be betrayed by loved ones or they won’t be supportive enough for the change in you. Also, I completely or partially agree with the fact that friends are wolf-skin, some of them of course. However, you might find some great friends in this life. However, that doesn’t bring you to the end of a relationship. We should reflect on our decisions and try to overcome stressful moments. The author has mentioned about self-reflection question exercise, dietary plans, calendar planning, and many other exercises in the appendices of the book. The book is a short read, including the exercises.

Our lives are a series of calculated decisions that we consciously or
subconsciously make

In every hurricane, there is an eye of calm

There is always
someone out there
who will help you
or give you what
you need in your
darkest hour
