I’m reading an interesting book that has been challenging me in the way I think about myself, people, my work, everything.

One part challenges that sometimes we achieve success but is it really success. What we perceive as success, others see as only a minor achievement or nothing at all. Sometimes we are in situations that others as well as ourselves see as hopeless, but is it really that bad. There has been times in my life where I have felt the world has been taken away from my feet, been completely floored, didn’t know what way to turn… but where things that bad. Seems to me that in this recession (and earthly disasters) we shouldn’t judge ourselves, our situations, and others too harshly. And the only real answer is to look beyond our own situation no matter how bad we think it is and look around for those we need our help and be thankful.

What’s the book? Most pre-judge it when they hear the title and make some slide-remark. So you’re going to have to ask if you really want to know. :-)
