Update for Today!

It is soooo hot outside, it is like the weather finally got the memo that it is Summer. Man I already miss the rain! LOL!! I am already ready for Fall!! 😉

Today has been a pretty good day!

I finished reading the book I was reading, Artemis Fowl. I have 4 more of those books to read. I am not sure how I feel about that yet. The first book was good, but it was definitely a kids chapter book. It is basically a book about a 12 year old boy genius criminal mastermind who is also the next generation of a long line of unscrupulous characters who gained wealth through trickery, thievery, and any other means necessary to get what they wanted. The author, Eoin Colfer described the book as “Die Hard with Faeries”, which I must agree, that is true. There are some very funny scenes in the book, which made me catch myself laughing out loud, so maybe it was worth it.

Anyway, I am on to my next read, no not book number 2 of Artemis Fowl, I will save that one for later. I am on to the book by Jack Canfield, called Success Principles. I am actually three fourths of the way through it already, but I am ready to finish it and be done with it. This is a self-help book that has a ton of great ideas on how to transform yourself to where you are to get to where you want to be. I attribute A LOT of my success over the past couple of years to what I have learned in reading this book; taking 100% responsibility for my life and my actions, learning not to settle with anything, created my life’s mission statement, and learned how to not only make meaningful goals, but how to go about making those goals a reality.

This book opens with two GREAT quotes:

“Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want.” – Brian Tracy

“If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” – Thomas Edison

Aren’t those GREAT!?!?!

Anyway, I have a few more things to get done off of my to-do list tonight, so I will chat again tomorrow!!!

Have a FABULOUS night!!! 😉
