The Power: Bonus Book for January

I originally planned to read only one thought-provoking book per month, but when I finished that book so quickly (and then reread it a second time), it was only the middle of January. So, I decided to read another one – The Power written by Rhonda Byrne. The Secret does not have to be read first in order to understand the meaning behind The Power. Both share the same purpose of giving you the tools to create the life you desire and deserve. Below are excerpts and my highlights of the message received from reading The Power.

This book conveys love as the greatest power in the Universe. We can give love through joy, positivity, excitement, gratitude, and passion. Gratitude is the highest form of love that can multiply everything in our lives. Giving is the greatest joy in life and the magnet to all riches we desire. We receive everything in our lives based on what we have given. If we give positivity, we receive positivity. If we give negativity, we receive negativity. No situation comes with the label “good” or “bad.” Everything is neutral. We give meaning to everything in our lives by the way we feel. Our thoughts and words have no power in our lives without our feelings. Thus, our thoughts and feelings control everything we do. In turn, what we do determines the outcome of our lives. We have the power over our health, wealth, career, relationships, and every area imaginable. The power to living life abundantly lies within us.

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.” – Martha Washington
