This is a good book for people who are serious about their 43 Things. The book has a lot of short chapters with tips on how to make changes in your life. One chapter, called “Believe I Can Do It” (p. 60), brought tears to my eyes. Deep down I just don’t really believe I can do it.

According to that chapter, the tip for believing I can do it is, instead of getting mired in my past mistakes and present situations, to create a “growth story” which includes
(1) An accurate description of the past, including what has and has not worked.
(2) The facts of the present, including “What am I learning?”
(3) A description of what I will become in the future having achieved my goals.

I guess a growth story is what I’m trying to create right now under a new goal on 43 Things.

I originally checked this book out from the library and enjoyed the suggestions so much I bought the book.
