Thirty Book Review
Read this book for exceptionally condensed advice and lessons about relationships, beliefs, purpose, life, interactions and many more topics.
While highlighting on Kindle, my usual practice, I realized I had highlighted the entire text until the point I had read. I gave up highlighting 🙂.
Self-improvement books are often repetitive, thus increasing their size, discouraging readers unwilling to invest the attention or time. A big plus is reading this book in bite-sized chunks spending a couple of minutes daily and ruminating on it during the day. This is key in our era when attention is at a premium.
Thirty Quotes by Emily Maroutian
Staring with my favourite one.
Energy is the currency of the universe. When you “pay” attention to something, you buy that experience. So when you allow your consciousness to focus on someone or something that annoys you, you feed it your energy, and it reciprocates with the experience of being annoyed. Be selective in your focus because your attention feeds the energy of it and keeps it alive, not just within you, but in the collective consciousness as well.
If you keep bumping into people who cause drama, betray you, or lie, then you have to change something within your schedule of programming. You are the channel that pulls in the viewers. You have to change your stories to change your listeners. It’s your broadcast that is attracting those people to tune into you.
Resilience is choosing the hopeful thought over the resigning thought day after day, regardless of what happens.
Words are things. They are real. They are alive. They have a smell, a sound, a taste, a touch, they can be seen, and they can be felt. Even if it’s all in the mind. They elicit a powerful response from the person receiving it. They have the ability to move us into action, anger us, make us fall in love, express passion, express sadness, wage war, create peace. They color our world. They bring us to life. Their power lies in how they are used.
Pain might make you stronger or smarter for the next time around, but learning to heal that pain makes you wiser for the rest of your life.
The problem with thinking you’re too sensitive is that you’re saying you’re not justified in your feelings. You dismiss your right to feel whatever it is that you feel. If you continuously invalidate your feelings, then you will stop trusting your instincts. You will stop trusting your internal GPS and you will wander all over the place. That’s when you’ll begin to make mistake after mistake in relationships, in career..
Stress is when you hold two opposing thoughts in your mind about the same subject. “I want to do it, but I can’t do it.” “I want that, but I can’t have that.” All stressful emotions that arise are the result of an opposing thought that contradicts a desire.
Sometimes we need time to grieve for a future that might have been. After a loss of a relationship, friendship, job, or even the loss of the possibility of those things can be a painful process. When a possibility is cancelled out, it can feel like a sort of loss, even if we didn’t really lose anything. Even if we didn’t have it to begin with. Just knowing something can’t happen can be very painful. It can create a state of mourning within us. There is no real loss in the universe, just pieces moving toward each other and shifting away from each other. Where there is one, there is another.
The lacks we experienced as adolescents become the driving forces within us as adults. We are pulled to create what we didn’t have or didn’t get to experience. We become the adults we needed as children.
Nature grows through breaking things down, through cracking things open, through opening up, spilling out, and then blossoming. Growth can feel like a destructive process. That’s because it is. You have to crack open your old self for new aspects to bloom.
Some people come into our lives as booster engines. They help us get off the ground, they propel us forward, and then they fall away. Sometimes, there’s a lot of heat and fire. Sometimes, it’s a struggle. We think that the relationship was a failure or it didn’t “work” because the person couldn’t stay. When in reality, it did exactly what it was meant to do: boost us up and fall away. Now, you are in orbit.
