The Cell Phone Book

I told you about the book that I asked my daughter Sarah to read. It is called The Present by Spencer Johnson.

It is a great book, but not just for a teenager. It is for anyone who wants to be pro-active in life instead of just re-active.

Here is a summary :

Three ways to use your present moments today

1. Be In The Present

When you want to happier and more successful
  • Focus on What is Right Now
  • Respond To What Is Important now
2. Learn From The Past

When you want to make the present better than the past
  • Love at What Happened in the Past
  • Learn Something Valuable From it
  • Do Things Differently In The Present

3. Plan For The Future

When you want to make the future better than the present

  • See what a wonderful future would look like
  • Make Plans to help it happen
  • Put your Plan into Action in the present
