My thoughts:
Joel Osteen is one of my respected senior pastor although I am not Christian. For him, he always trusts that the ways of we speak can influence our living. After reading this book, I realize that the ways of speaking can determine our living. It means when wake up in the morning, it is depend on your attitude towards the day either positive or negative. Meanwhile, speak positive words in your day, relationship, works, family, and health is the best solution to make us feel motivated and inspired everyday. Keep moving in faith will bring our whole day become great and substantial as well!
Recommendation:
This book is one of the books that inspired me a lot in life. I strongly recommended this book for people like to read and collect self-enrichment books series, people who are working in high pressure, students, and Christians.
