Life is a Giant Ferris Wheel...

The 5 People You Meet in Heaven -
 
The book by Mitch Albom

This is a tale of adventure and a life journey to engulf the reader with the alertness of their daily life. This is a lesson of life well illustrated to series of characters, but using the most important - Eddie.

Here on earth, daily, the focus of our existence is that to keep record of our great achievements, set goals, learn from failures, yet the target is missed by a long shot. What matters is that no time at all was wasted doing something that you didn't want to do. What was left undone is no failure at all.

Everyone is where they are suppossed to be, although you might not have wanted to be there, but you are for a great purpose. Your daily doings, comings and goings, the achievements, the failures, the goals, the place, and the people you meet, all have a reason and a purpose. Often it takes a great courage to step back at glance at life with a different set of eyes.

Life is a journey filled with many twists and turns, things don't often make sense, people often don't make any sense. Some occurances may seem pointless and we might not take any meaning to anything, yet at the end of the spectrum lies a great book of answers. Significant meanings to each puzzle of life you might have left behind. No source is too weak and unmeaningful source. All happenings and occurances of life do have a lesson for all. An open mind can give room for great learnings and understanding.

Experiences are a must, lessons must be learned in order to make sense and move onto another journey. In Eddie's case: he moved one stage to the next: person by person each selected from a memory in his past to re-play and re-direct understanding of why something happened the way it did.

It's a chain.

Some may be confused as to what it all means, but that is the greatness of the written language. We can use it, difusse it, and re-use it! (thought it would sound cool).

Anyways, there are great a many books to be read out there, each with it's significant bit of wisdom and knowlege for all to grasp onto.

Enjoy
