I recently read a book called "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom and I really liked the way he conveys messages by telling the story. I would like to share some sentences that are mind blowing as well as comment on them.

1) "Your voice will come. We all go through the same thing. You cannot talk when you first arrive. It helps you listen."

This is very interesting advice that we forget most of the time. Listen to others before jumping into the matter.

2) "People often belittle the place where they were born. But heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners. And heaven itself has many steps."

Be proud of where you are and whatever you are doing. That doesn't mean don't make efforts to reach somewhere but enjoy the path to reach your destination. Sometimes we try very hard to reach somewhere and after reaching there, we are not happy because we didn't enjoy the path. There are always good omens to convey messages to you. You just need to feel them.

3) "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."

Believe that we all are one. Love all and see how you will get it back. Just think that whatever I do is not only going to affect me but also others around me.

4) "Sacrifice. You made one. We all make them. But you were angry over yours. You kept thinking about what you lost."

Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.

5) Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. but hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."

Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.

This book has enlightened me in ways words can stipulate. I strongly recommend you read it. You will not regret it.
