Seek truth with open eyes. Courageously accept your discoveries and their consequences. Rid your life of falsehood, denial, and fear of what is. Make truth your ally, not your enemy. This isn’t easy, but it is correct.

Share your love openly. Connect with yourself and others by tuning in to the connection that already exists. The risk of rejection is overshadowed by the rewards of loving connections. Whenever you feel disconnected, reach out and connect with another human being. Remember that you’re always loved.

Fully develop your human abilities, and use your power in honorable service for the highest good of all. False power corrupts, but true power elevates. The more you resonate with truth and love, the greater your ability to wield power wisely. No one is served by your refusal to shine.

Embrace your unique path of growth. Use your intellect and emotions to guide you in the conscious pursuit of truth, love and power. Invest in creative self-expression, service, and contribution, and you will suffer no scarcity. Your greatest gift to the world is to share who you really are.

Enjoy your incredible human journey. Accept the highs and the lows as equally valuable. Recognize that your deepest sorrows reveal your greatest joys. Share your stories with others, and know that you’re not alone. Be grateful for your time on earth.

Live consciously.

These are the last words of the book Personal development for smart people by Steve Pavlina that I finished during my trip to London during the weekend. For some years back I have read quite a few ones on the topic of personal development and despite the corny title this is by far the best one I have read. Hell, I think I can even consider this one of the best books I read all-time! Not only for the content but also for the message he wants to transmit. Truth-Love-Power are core topics in the book and even if they may be fundamental ideas they can need to some thoughts upon to be really in use in life. If you look around, is it really that you see? Maybe among the friends you choose, but in my humble opinion it is not the case when it comes the world at large. The world is not what it could be.

Instead of writing a long review I’ll take it briefly. If you (like me) want to make the best of your life, need some (really, really) good advises, and a little helpful nudge to get going in the right direction then this is the book for you. Change does not come easy but with the right mindset and tools it sure gets easier. If you still hesitate I recommend to read his blog.

Does your path have heart?
