Earlier I referenced the book I read while in Mexico. A biography about my dear friend Mister Rogers. The book was just ok, not great. I know it seems that when someone tells you about a book, they always say it was great. Maybe because they’re amazed at themselves by actually reading a book in the first place. As most all adults do not read any books.
Anyway, you’ll never get that from me. As I give you more book reports and book recommendations, they will always be honest critiques of the book.
There were several great passages inside the book about Fred Rogers. But it wasn’t until the end of the book, on page 349, that I got the chills from head to toe.
Here’s what I read on page 349:
Eliot daly, Fred Rogers’s old friend and former executive at Small World Enterprises, says,
“I would describe him as the ultimate what you see is what you get, with one exception.
What most people couldn’t see in Fred was his enormous power.
Power. Capital P.
Fred is the most powerful person I have ever known in my entire life… I’ve dealt with a lot of people whom the world regards as powerful. None of them could hold a candle to Fred’s power…
His power derived from a really unique place. It was his absolute self-possession, which is different from self-interest or self-satisfaction, or selfishness. He didn’t need anything from you or from me. He welcomed it, but he didn’t need it.”
Whoa, whoa, and wow. If that doesn’t make you stop and listen, take note, and reevaluate your life, nothing will, nothing can.
Which brings us to The Secret to Life:
Self-Mastery
A magical combination of self-awareness, self-discipline, and self-love.
When we are self aware, anything is possible.
When are self disciplined we are free. Free from addiction, free from regret, free from neediness.
When we have self love we have everything. You cannot truly love another without first completely loving yourself.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Thank you very much for taking the time out of your life to read this book.
P.S. The difference between Meteoric and Mediocre is IMPLEMENTATION.
Reading this book means nothing if you do not take action.
Now is the time to get started in your magical (albeit short) journey in life and to your destined arrival at personal greatness.
