If you are an avid reader or interested in personal growth, you are well aware of the saturated market of books in this area. I always have a tough time recommending the “best” book for someone to read if asked. I’m drawn to books that encourage self-reflection, positive thinking, and goal setting. The problem is that most books only offer a peppering of each in these areas, not actionable steps to stay on the path of personal development. The new book release It All Matters – 125 strategies to achieve maximum confidence, clarity, certainty, and creativity by Paul Cummings is a game changer.
It All Matters has something to offer everyone. It’s a comprehensive guide to developing and using personal affirmations. It encourages increased self-confidence and self-awareness.

A framework of inspiration
This is a great read that provides some information as well as inspiration. The author tells us that each day matters, every part of every day matters. It's about giving control to each person, making them responsible for their life and giving it purpose. There some key points that attribute to ones success. It's a good read for anyone going through life affirmation or even self-discovery. It's a do-in-yourself for your own being.

Paul Cummings provides clear examples of how to increase your co finance and creativity in a concise and clear manner. The book is well worth the read and periodic review to update the MAPs and stories provided and see where you are from where you started. I am looking forward to see what comes next from Paul Cummings.

Awesome motivation
Very captivating and uplifting. The stories told didn't just tell you he did it, but how he did it. The addition of life lesson quotes, and room to write out and practice what was being taught is a major bonus.

I enjoyed many parts of this book. The author uses narrative and stories to get his point across and gives tangible to-dos for readers. Throughout the book, though, my interest began to wane as the strategies began to seem redundant. I feel that this book could have been cut down and written in an article or articles or a smaller book and still maintained the same benefits that it does have.

An absolute fantastic book by Paul Cummings that really does mean It All Matters when it comes to being successful in all areas of your life.

January 6, 2018"I believe that the difference between winning and losing is a 'very thin line' measured by the 1% factors we decide to turn into daily habit patterns. These success factors will not only hold up under pressure, but they will withstand the test of life. Winners do everything the losers do; plus, a little bit more, and then some. Winners do it and do it and do it, and then they do it again until they can stand victorious as a result of all their extra grit, determination, and dedication" (31).
"I believe there is a universal truth that when you operate with a pure spirit of intent, your 'best self' kicks into gear and your abilities to accomplish major goals are instantly amplified. As a result, I believe you will attract all the people, resources, and support that you need in order to reach your most compelling goals and dreams. The moment you learn to have unwavering faith and belief in what you see in your mind's eye, the pathway will widen, the answers will come easier, and the past problems will be turned from 'stopping'-stones into stepping stones that will eventually take you to your desired destiny" (59-60).
"It can be frightening in some ways to ponder what might really happen if you set goals that are focused on your happiness, joy, and peace of mind. What decisions would you make differently? What changes would you immediately implement? How could your future evolve if you set prodigious goals that you accomplish?" (121).
"I want to encourage you to practice and prepare to win at the highest level. There is nothing more fulfilling than to know your efforts are producing results. I love the fact that we are in control of our outcomes and ultimate destiny in life. If your desire is to be the best in the world at what you do, then you will need to practice consistently" (147).
