Recently I was running out of books to read. But then I realized I still got a book that I haven't read in my computer. I almost forgot about it. It is "The Power" by Rhonda Bryne. It is considered to be the sequel to another more popular book of the same author, "The Secret". My friend Yogesh sent me this when I was hitting the lowest point of my life.
But at that time, I didn't want to read it. I know exactly what the book is about. It is a motivational book. For me, I had never read this kind of books. I used to think that no one needed this kind of book, like "The Secret" or "The Chicken Soup for the Soul", and that they were meant for the 'mentally weak'. I used to think that I can stand up on my own after falling down, for I am a Man.
I was so wrong, and had never been so wrong before. As a famous quote says,
The strength of women is the pretense of weakness; the weakness of men is the pretense of strength.
So as I read through the book, like exactly what I thought, plain English and filled with almost prejudiced lines, such as 'You know you can do this', 'Imagine the best, keep thinking positively', bla bla bla... But this is exactly how it needed to be. The word 'love' is mentioned millions times in the book, so many times that it has became a little cheesy. But guess what, it should be like this! I also used to think that, the word 'love' shouldn't be said that much for it to be precious and special. But what the hell! We should say 'love' more!
Waited so long for me to pick up the book, I guess the moment I pick up the book, sit down and read it, I think I am already ready to love again. So thx Yogesh for your book!
Whenever the word 'love' comes across me, I can't help myself not think of my ex. She gave me a note when we moved to different towns, and I still keep it until now, the only thing from her that remains. She always has this positive attitude against problems upon her. She normally just smiles the problems away, the smile that I want to learn.
Love life!!!
