Sometimes we blame external factors for our lack of progress when in actual fact we should improve ourselves internally. Thanks for reading the review Chiwelite!

Ruchi Raina wrote: 06 Sep 2021, 07:44 I agree that sometimes, all that's holding us back is our own mind. We think that if we moved to a big place or a better one, then we can do wonders. The truth is many great opportunities we miss out on are because either they came too soon or too late according to our state of mind at that time. I think I would like this book. Though I am hesitant due to the errors. Thanks for the wonderful review.
From where I'm sitting, you seem like you are well poised for success. Your state of mind is in the right place and you have an understanding that others can only wish for. I admire you!!!

"I think it is very easy to slip into that - the grass is greener on the other side - mentality" - I agree, especially when things don't happen our way and when we want them to happen. Books like these remind us to look at situations positively :D

Most times, environment can be a sincere limiting factor but the greatest factor that can limit one is the mental factor. Kind of books I like . Thank you
