About the author
Matthew Kelly
188 books1,396 followersMatthew Kelly is a best-selling author, speaker, thought leader, entrepreneur, consultant, spiritual leader, and innovator.
He has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. Born in Sydney, Australia, he began speaking and writing in his late teens while he was attending business school. Since that time, 5 million people have attended his seminars and presentations in more than 50 countries.
Today, Kelly is an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and business consultant. His books have been published in more than 30 languages, have appeared on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists, and have sold more than 50 million copies.
In his early-twenties he developed "the-best-version-of-yourself" concept and has been sharing it in every arena of life for more than twenty-five years. It is quoted by presidents and celebrities, athletes and their coaches, business leaders and innovators, though perhaps it is never more powerfully quoted than when a mother or father asks a child, "Will that help you become the-best-version-of-yourself?"
Kelly's personal interests include golf, music, art, literature, investing, spirituality, and spending time with his wife, Meggie, and their children Walter, Isabel, Harry, Ralph, and Simon.

A daily read that puts life in perspective. Whatever your beliefs, whatever your lifestyle, these daily passages are but seeds that you cultivate.
Each day you are given a thought, an idea, a suggestion on which to ponder throughout the day that may change old habits and create new ideas.
Well worth the quick meditation.

I began this book with Daily thoughts to grow with. I would bring it with me as I ate lunch. Just like chocolate or chips, you can’t just have 1…I read multiple pages at a time reflecting on them and making them part of my daily growth at work, home, and the various groups I belong to. I found this book in a “recycled pile” with the inscription that some wrote: “Allow the Spirit of truth guide you on life’s journey.” It was signed by the giver. I don’t know if the recipient read the book. I would hope so. I plan on re-reading this again and again. I took a highlighter and pen to many of these thoughts. I will leave you with a few:
1.) Next time you think things are not going well for you, visit a cemetery. Things could be a lot worse. Take heart, look up, have faith, and rejoice in life.
2.) Serving is not about ability, it is about availability.
3.) Don’t entertain false joys.
4.) You are only what God allows you to be and nothing more.

Very brief, daily quotations by Kelly in a journal-like format. Rich with meaning.
