Reflecting on part of Part Four: Seeds of an Inspired Life.

Part Three: I've stopped reading for now so that I can think about what was covered in Part Three. I look forward to Part Four.

Part Three: This chapter started giving me a few moments where I was able to make some connections in my own thoughts, actions, and the resulting consequences. I am pleasantly surprised. After Part I and II, I didn't really think I was going to learn much that I could apply in my life, but I have. Wonderful.

The only thing I didn't like about Part Two was its over New Age tone and all the mumbo jumbo about meditating in silence. Meditation is not a cure all and does not work for anyone. Perhaps other options could have been offered?

Part Two was about how the brain creates pathways that are thinking based---I found myself trying to help another person just yesterday with their negative thinking by relating what I had learned in this little book---good deal.

This little book is turning out to be better than I thought, even though I found part one to be an overly lengthy introduction and explanation on how to use this book. This is not a book meant to be simply read through and I am trying to use it so that I can review it in the manner it is meant to be used.

After a few chapters of The Inspired Life, I find myself having to replace the word "inspired" with "positive." I tend to think of inspiration as something that leads to creativity and find that the word "inspired" distracts me from what I think is this books purpose. The quotes within the book have been enjoyable to read.
