Life & Love by Lisa Messenger – How it changed my mindset
I’ve heard a lot about Lisa Messenger on social media. I hadn’t read any of his books and didn’t even have the background on his magazines. He wasn’t sure what to expect.
Life & Love was gifted to me and I felt like the right book just by looking at the cover. My mentor chose this with my growth in mind and she was right. The artwork is beautiful, the cover and pages pour adoration in the reader’s eyes and it really makes you feel the need to drink in positivity.
I started reading on Sunday night, hoping to read a chapter before going to bed. I was halfway there and very tired when I stopped. I was hooked from the beginning and was amazed at the way he spoke. Lisa draws you in with the love she truly shares with every thought, message, and struggle she shares.
This book came to me on a very flat day and it was amazing that I was able to choose parts of this book that made me want to feel ‘unapologetically deliriously happy’ as Lisa put it.
Nowhere does it seem like this is all from one person. Recognition is shared very freely. Gratitude for the guidance of role models is expressed with affection and lessons are shared so that you realize that we are not alone in our daily struggles with work or family life.
I feel like this book almost gives us permission to take time to learn about our true selves and achieve great things, all while wearing your heart on your sleeve. In the spirit of exploring different chapters of my life, I make my way through this story without an ending or an expectation in mind and submit to whatever comes next.
The chapter on Attitude and Gratitude got me thinking about my mind space and what I focus on.
Confidence made me realize that it really doesn’t take much to lose what seems to be effortless.
Friends and family reminded me that we take the dearest for granted.
Love, Love, Love is a sweet reminder of how it was and also where we chose to be.
Every chapter, including these and more, has something that I fell in love with and was more than happy for it to happen. However, I feel that people will take what they need, and depending on how they think about the day, the book will offer their dose of positivity, creativity, and beauty.
Before I even finished, I ordered another one of these books and bought my first Collective Hub magazine. I’m in love and I’m sure you will be too. I can’t imagine anyone not falling in love with this book and, in turn, with Lisa.
