To the one who wants to read more -
TOP 5! TOP 5! Best Books EVER.
to help you get out of your head, believe in yourself,
and have faith that is bigger than you could ever imagine,
I have read and listened to so many books in the last 3-4 years of my self-discovery journey, and let me tell you I have learned so much, and also…
the majority of all these book come down to the same
basic couple of concepts but told from
different perspective, situations, testimonies and genders.
Here they are from my perspective —
1. You have to have faith in something WAY bigger than yourself, if not you will internalize and essentially drive yourself fucking insane.
2. Your mindset is everything, whether you believe in the law of attraction, manifesting or positive vibes. The way you view yourself and your life dictates how you will live and that my friends is a big ass FACT.
3. Surround yourself with people, atmospheres, and things that bring out the best in you or inspire you to do better and want more for yourself.
4. To piggyback off of number 3 and this one is like HELLA important. You won’t change until you are ready to. It doesn’t matter if someone is dangling a million dollars in front of you. If you don’t put in the work, and aren’t passionate about it – you won’t work for it.
5. Lastly you cannot love, help, or be of value to others if you do NOT love, help or value yourself first. No matter how much you try and “fake it till you make it”, it won’t matter. The moment you start loving yourself and focusing on your needs solely, the universe and sweet baby Jesus are gonna be like yup... SHE/HE READY” *Tiffany Haddish Voice*
Nonetheless they are all amazing and typically left to your preference and what essentially speaks to you in some sort of way. So I am going to break down my top 5 that light a fire under my ass, that I go back to when I am feeling less than majestic AF, or when I just need a pick me up. If you have any book recommendations that you swear by and are YOUR HOLY GRAIL that are not on this list, please let me know cuz your girl is trying to expand her self-discovery horizons!
- You are a Badass by Jen Sincero
A lot of you who are my friends in real life or have kept up with my OBSESSION of this woman and her books already knew this was going to end up on the list. This book is probably the SOLE reason that I went from being somewhat of a woe is me, feeling sorry for myself, and insecure girl to the hella majestic being that I strive to be for myself and others every single day. Jen tells it like it is, doesn’t sugar coat anything and to sum it up in the words of the Queen herself…
“It’s not your fault you’re fucked up, it is your fault if you stay fucked up”
- The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins
This one is amazing if you are a self-doubter and procrastinate at everything in life no matter what it is. Did you know that procrastination is a form of self-sabotaging stress relief; yeah I didn’t know either until I read this book. She went from two bankruptcies to going around the world speaking to thousands of people and having her own coaching practices. She really is the definition of just FUCKING do it already.
- Rise and Grind by Draymond John
So this one was a random ass listen for me and I didn’t know that he was one of the host of the show Shark Tank because apparently I live under a damn rock and only watch Jane the Virgin. His book is inspiring as hell and by the title you can probably tell that it is all about the hustle. He will motivate you to get out there and reach your goals and stop feeling bad for yourself.
- The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a FUCK!
By Sarah Night
This one is full of a lot of cursing, it’s kind of like having your best friend telling you to stop giving a fuck about what other people think and start doing what the fuck makes you happy. Just do you and be the best version of yourself possible. Sarah is also hilarious AF.
- The Universe has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernestein
I just started this one a couple of hours ago and within the first 5 minutes I can usually tell if I am going to like a book and this one is MAJESTIC AF. She focuses on turning you fear into faith and always coming from a place of love, and I am here for it ALL. I will probably write a more detailed post like I did with Jen Sincero’s book because it’s definitely deserving of a full blown post.
