I was searching for something when i came across an electronic copy of this book in the Internet. Somehow the name struck me, because all my life i have felt that i have been a very lucky person. I believed, that whatever i have achieved till today ( not much in the eyes of my parents though), has come to me automatically.
No I'm not talking about fate. It's "LUCK". It's like one morning your friend calls up and says "Hey! I'm applying for this exam/post. Will you come with me to get an application form? By the by, why don't you too apply?" . Finally, i end up not only applying but also winning in that exam in flying colors (without any preparation). It may sound stupid, but all my life i have been experiencing such miracles. I never had any plan to reach where I'm now.
This book seems to explain or i did rather say question my life ? I feel myself as successful, because when i look back i don't see anything that i had wished for and not achieved. I have a good job, good family, good education and above all the strength to follow my heart in all occasions. Am i missing something ??? Something that i wanted really badly ? Nothing that i can remember. Ok! So that is my idea of success.
Now comes the tougher part, am i happy ? What a stupid question to ask!! Can someone be "happy forever" ? If yes, than i would have become pretty bored with that happiness. I enjoy my meals better when i'm really hungry. I would prefer to get happiness, when i really feel down. As Simple as That! Since i'm not "unhappy forever", i guess i'm getting enough of happiness.
The book tells me "Success is the deliberate, measurable pursuit of prayerfully chosen, written goals." . Did i do something deliberately to reach here ... i can't honestly say a "yes". "Measurable???" No idea... "Prayerfully chosen, written goals ?" That can be partially true, i too have prayed for a happy family and a good job.
The book triggers lot of emotions , questions and thoughts. I may not 100% agree to the book, but its worth reading. It has the power to make you explore the inner you... to bring out the questions that you have been afraid to ask yourself... and to leave you wondering what was it that i have been living till now...
