Original Wisdom by Donna Bond is a very unique book in terms of its main message for the readers. We spend our entire lives pursuing our careers and material desires. However, there is a whole world of divinity inside us that remains untouched, waiting for us to explore its deeper dimensions. Donna Bond motivates the readers to look deep within their hearts to find beautiful wisdom.

The book Original Wisdom carries inside it a complete code of conduct that operates entirely on spirituality, though not very far from reality. The author provides the whole road map to the readers for manifesting their desires in life. To attain all this requires patience, persistence, and discipline.

This book emphasises on the habit of gratitude (thankfulness). Donna Bond teaches us how, through gratitude, we can achieve abundance in life. Many times in our lives, we are tested by the difficulties and forget about things we must be grateful for, no matter how hard life is. It is only through a sense of gratitude for the things we have that we can tap into the infinite blessings of life.

This book is not based on wishfulness, daydreaming, or just imagination but contains inside it the true techniques that can help us live a life of peace, serenity, depth, beauty, and abundance. At the end of each chapter, there are sacred truth activation exercises to assist readers in practicing these techniques practically to achieve wisdom and abundance in life . The I AM Reflection diagram given in the book really helps the reader understand this underlying complex multidimensional concept, making it simple for the reader to visualise it in mind .

Moreover, Donna Bond has also shared her personal life experiences in this book to let the readers know that she was no different than us in the approach of her life . Like all of us, whenever she was going to make a decision about what her heart wanted, her ego used to come in between. But finally , she took courage, listened to her heart, and achieved the greater blessings in life that she always wanted. She has been very kind and honest in sharing her methods for the betterment of humanity, which is struggling in an unfinished race to achieve great luxuries in life at the cost of their mental, emotional, physical, and most importantly, spiritual health.

The author herself is not only a good narrator but also a very deep intellectual. I came to know this because in her book, she appears to be very meticulous in bringing our attention to the present moment and to be thankful for all the little things in life that we just take for granted. For example, the sight of beautiful flowers outside our window, the sound of the sweet chirping of the birds in our garden, and many others. She teaches us to become good observers in life. We use our five senses to function well in our high alert mode of life, but Donna Bond motivates us to make use of them to unleash innumerable blessings in life.

The most beautiful aspect of the book is its glorification of the human tendency to love . She declares it the most powerful force in the universe, which raises our vibration to the maximum. By utilising the force of love in the right way, we can get aligned with the music and harmony of the universe. In this way, everything starts getting worked out for us, and we are being guided by the universe in the right direction.

Finally, the book is very well structured and organised. The vocabulary is simple and easy to follow. It does have very good-quality words, which the beginner in English reading might find difficult to grasp; however, it does not impede the communication or the main message of the book. I did not find a lot of errors in this book. It is a wonderful book of wisdom, and I am very happy to rate it 4 out of 4. I highly recommend it to all other readers who want to dive deep into the original wisdom of their hearts.

Listening to our heart is something a lot of us forget to do or don't know how to do. Practicing gratitude changes one's perspective on life. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses. Your review tells me that this book is a good place to start if we want to attain wisdom by practicing these aforementioned virtues. :techie-studyinggray:

Thank you. I sincerely appreciate the author's insight in terms of our "Original Wisdom." I call this living with intuition and trust in the divine Wisdom of our Creator. I will consider reading this at some stage.

This is also true . I mean how often do we change from goals to goals due to us looking for a better understanding of happiness. Shortly after achieving it , we are no longer happy again. Clearly we lack wisdom and direction. This is great read. I'd certainly read it
