Three things I learnt from the book:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0We can’t choose the circumstances directly but, we can choose our thoughts and indirectly shape our circumstances.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0The analogy is given in the book of our mind like a garden which says, “The right seeds are thoughts that make us vital, energized and strong, while the weeds are disempowering thoughts.”<\/li>\n
  3. I was inspired by the line which says, ”\u00a0Desire leads to attention, attention leads to action, actions lead to our circumstances.<\/strong>\u00a0“<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Two things I will implement in my life:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0I will shape my thoughts rather than cribbing about the situation and circumstances around me.<\/li>\n
    2. \u00a0Always have a positive attitude and earn things rather than wishing for them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One question I still have:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0The last line of the book says, “Peace, Be still!!”. Is it really attainable?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
