Christmas came early this year and in the form of an … Amazon Review.

I suppose I can finally come clean with the fact that I like line charts and bar graphs and slow growth over time. I envision a chart of “What I Wished for Christmas” over the years and how it might look. Maybe it’s more of a SWAT diagram with four quadrants and weighted axis …

  1. Little red train
  2. Atari 2600
  3. Hair gel
  4. Bail bonds*
  5. Necktie
  6. Anything but a necktie
  7. A trip to Cape Town, South Africa
  8. Freedom
  9. Love
  10. Book reviews

I got a review recently that I just love, love, love. I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. It’s insightful, shows that not only did he read the book, but truly got it and was able to formulate his thoughts in just a few brilliant and concise lines.

It’s even a 4-star review and not a 5-star review. It tells me that it could be just a little better, that I can make that next book just a little more, a little deeper, a little more something. I don’t know what that is yet, but I can tell you that I’ll find out because this inspires me to do more, write more, make it better and improve.

Maybe that’s my true Christmas wish: to keep learning, to improve, to enjoy the journey, to cherish the learning along the way and not only not care if I ever get there, but to slow down to make sure the trip last a lifetime.

Or two.

Occasionally humorous.
Frequently inspiring.
And in all ways valuable.
A great book for those contemplating embarking on a journey of change, improvement, and intentional growth. Charbonneau’s every man approach and aw-shucks humor delivers life-altering concepts and baby spoon servings. It isn’t until committing to reading a chapter or two a day that by the book’s end, you realized that you’ve already begun employing the principles.

P.S. I’m filing this under Writing but also under Joy.
