the greatest Miracle in the world.......

_______________________
“It may be praiseworthy
and noble to sacrifice
your life to a cause or
a business or the happiness
of others, but if you are miserable
and unfulfilled in that lifestyle,
and know it,
then to remain in it is
a hypocrisy…”

---this and more in the book by OG MANDINO.

I am not highly religious. I consider myself a Christian but I am not very active. This is something that I am not proud of nor too ashamed to admit.I have my own struggles in the pursuit of personal happiness. I feel that it's unfair if I always turn to abstract explanations from the bible every time I have questions or problems.It's just surreal. What I'm trying to say that I fell indifferent about books which are too dogmatic.




When I saw the title of this one, I got some hesitations. Until I noticed the lines......"as it reveals exciting new secrets for your personal happiness and success". Why not? Who doesn't want to be happy?

It is a fact'
that before
physically dying,
man dies an earlier death.......
when he gives up on his dreams,
when his mind runs out
of fresh ideas,
and when his heart
hardens in bitterness...........

SO WHAT IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD?

Simon, the protagonist in the story, beautifully said it this way "to give them a new sense of hope and direction, and help them return from their living death … which to me is the greatest miracle in the world.’”

I can't agree more.
We all need help sometimes.
If I may add,
there are great lessons
in this book no matter
what your religious beliefs are,
or even if you just
don’t buy into religion at all.
