The thought in this book is so beautifully crafted with analogies upon analogies from the author's past and recent experiences. And the sprinkling of Og Mandino's words from the scrolls were so beneficial. My most important takeaway is learning to work the millimitres from here to there - doing the physical work of creation after establishing the mental framework. Excellent work!

If you want to learn how to connect with people and how to deepen your purpose and potential in life, this is fantastic! It's changed the way I communicate with people, especially my children. LOVE it!

"Genshai means to never treat anyone in a manner that would make them feel small- including yourself."

"As a partner in a healthy relationship, our primary mission is to lift and build and validate our partner. Every word, every deed, every action is designed to inspire- breathe life into our partner- and encourage our partner- add to their heart. Every thought will be about finding ways to bring out the very best. When children are involved, they become the beneficiaries of this singular focus. One of the greatest gifts parents can give to their children is to love one another."

"There is a big difference between motion and action, being busy- like a chicken running around with its head cut off- and being productive."

"Action destroys fear."

This was the right book at the right time for me.
I've read a lot of personal development books over the years. This one resonated with me because it connected with the real me and how I can grow and move toward greater success while being myself.
