Where will you go from here? – BOOK REVIEW

Where Will You Go From Here by Valorie Burton is an inspirational, motivating book to help you get back on your feet when life throws you an unexpected curveball and knocks you off your path. Whether it’s the loss of a job, loss of a loved one, divorce, or just the plain ole’ “my life has somehow gotten out of whack feeling”, this book will give you the motivation to get “back on the horse and into the saddle again”. I must say, I really enjoyed this book. It has definitely given me a new way to look at things when “life doesn’t go as planned”.

Valorie offers 5 commitments you should make to yourself and stick to in order to get yourself and your mind back on track:

1. I will not feel sorry for myself
2. I will not stare at the closed door
3. I will dig deep to unearth all the courage I need
4. I will direct my thoughts-my thoughts will not direct me
5. I will choose to believe all things work together for the good.

I would encourage everyone to get this book, even if you feel your life is “perfect” at the moment. It’s a great book to keep handy when you need a little inspiration and motivation.
