This is the story about why you are here on planet Earth. There is something special about everyone. The life we live and the life we always want to live are different, but how can you fulfill your dreams, as shown in this book. This book is about the journey of the twelve most successful people living in the world today. They share their stories and reveal everything one needs to live their dream. The book consists of four parts, dealing with the struggles faced by the heroes of this story.
Part One - The Dream
Whatever circumstances you were born into, whatever family life and education you had or didn't have, you came here to make your dreams come true, and no matter where you are now, you are fully equipped with everything you need to do it. It's not the conditions of the outside world that determine whether or not your dreams will be fulfilled. By realizing your dreams, you will realize the greatness in you.
Even if you don't know yet what your dream is, there's something you can do right now that will accelerate your dream materializing: give your best to whatever you're currently doing. Follow your bliss and follow it with all of your heart. Although you can't see the whole way ahead, your bliss is the thread that will lead you to all of your dreams.
"Take a job that you love. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?" - Warren Buffett
Part Two - The Hero
To believe in yourself is perhaps the most powerful ability you have available to you. Your belief will carry you through every difficult situation or circumstance. If you don't believe in yourself today, it just means that you have accepted thoughts about yourself that other people put upon you in your life, and you believed them to be true. Remind yourself that you have potent abilities, and all you need to do is take one step at a time.
"Success is achieved twice. Once in mind and the second time in the real world." - Azim Premji
Part Three - The Quest
Many people give up on their dreams or don't even begin to pursue them because they can't see the whole path of their dreams from where they are standing. No successful person has ever known how his or her dream would happen. They simply believed that it would happen and didn't give up until it had.
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain.
Part Four - Victory
The ultimate reward for your dream's success does not mark the end of the journey but the beginning of another. Experiencing the rewards from realizing a dream is glorious, and every person who fulfills their dream deserves each and every one of those rewards. You can help others with your time or resources. At the end of the Hero's journey, you will discover that the eternal happiness you've been looking for is in the discovery of who you really are.
This book is very inspiring and motivating. This book tells us that nothing is impossible. The author uses quotes from others to inspire - all you need to believe in your instinct. The book focuses on motivating people. I would highly recommend this book, and it's worth your time and money.
If whatever you do help just one person, you've done something wonderful." - Blake Mycoskie.
