Here is my entry for @zainenn awesome incentive of inviting people to read books since reading is really knowledge.
I really love the idea of this incentive because we can hear the experiences and recommendations of some amazing books which is very cool.
Here is the original link of the awesome @zainenn's post. https://steemit.com/read/@zainenn/zb6pg44x
First of all I was never a book reader before, especially when I was in my school years. I didn't start reading books until about 5 years ago. After I read a knowledgeable book that was of my interest, I was hooked on it. I know it sounds funny, but I didn't think for some reason how much a book can really teach you how to improve your life and how amazingly knowledgeable they are.
I have mentioned this book which I would like to share with you today about "The MAGIC" book written by the awesome Rhonda Byrne. This book is part of "The Secret" books that Rhonda has written.
I find this book probably one of the best books that I have read and so I would like to share some amazing quites that come from it and share about the book.
First of all the true and real MAGIC FORMULA is in being GRATEFUL.
This book is really divided into 28 chapters which are really 28 days of showing you how to be grateful and simple daily practices.
One of the daily exercises that you repeat every single day for the 28 days is to make a list of 10 blessings in your life that you are grateful for.
I was a bit nervous about that since I thought it will be pretty hard to do that, but I am actually on day 24 right now and to tell you the truth, it is actually pretty easy to do and the more you do it, the more easier and natural it becomes and that is where you will see your life change.
I have started reading this book, many, many years ago when it first came out, but for I guess I was not ready to receive this message, but reading this book right now, it just all came together and clicked together and it was just the perfect timing for me to read this book and that is also one thing I have learned from my experiences and reading the books is that sometimes we are not ready to receive the message but that doesn't mean the book is not good or you didn't get much from it, because when the time is right in your life to receive the message it will all make sense and you will feel it.
I am so glad that I kept most of my books, since I love going back to them when I don't have new material to read or when the book just calls on you because you feel like you need some guidance in that direction.
I would like to share some amazing quotes from this book with you and I hope you will enjoy them and I hope that they can inspire you as much as they did for myself.
"KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT."
IBN KHALDOUN AL MUQADDIMA
"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself."
TECUMSEH
"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"
RONALD DAHL
"Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."
Matthew 13:12
Now to many people who are not readers of the Bible, might feel like this is pretty mean and that it means that the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. But that is far away from the truth since the real meaning of this is this:
"Whoever has GRATITUDE will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance. Whoever does not have GRATITUDE, even what he or she has will be taken from him or her."
"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."
WILLIE NELSON
"Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles."
MALTBIE D. BABCOCK
Every single day for 28 days you are to write down 10 things you are blessed for.
Here is an example:
I am truly blessed to have (WHAT),
because (WHY?).
Afterward, you go back and read your list and when you get to the end of each one, say the magic words, thank you, thank you, thank you, and feel the gratitude as much as you possibly can.
This is the Magic Practice Day 1.
Now there is a one small catch to this, since you cannot miss one day of this exercise and if you do, you have to add another 3 days to it, since it has to be consistent 28 days in the row or more, but not less.
Hope you enjoyed some of the quotes and some information about this awesome "Magic" book and I definitely would recommend it to everyone to read it.

I am a great supporter of @familyprotection who is working very hard to help the families stay together and this project is the most amazing project that I would suggest for everyone on this steemit community to check it out and support it and by doing it we are helping people in need who are trying to keep their kids safe from being taken away (kidnapped) by the Social Services.
