Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo | Book Review
All about instilling the belief that ‘Everything is Figureoutable’ this book by Marie Forleo has certainly made it onto my list of favourite books and one I recommend that everyone should read.
This book gives us all of the tools and mindset advice that we need to go after our goals and believe that anything is possible. We have what it takes to figure absolutely anything out and Marie does a great job at proving this argument.
With funny stories and personal lessons, Marie delivers this message in a way that is fun and engaging. She even gives us activities to do at the end of each chapter to get the most out of the book and her invaluable teachings.
Some of my key take aways and favourite quotes / bits of advice from the book include:
“Nothing in life is that complicated. You can do whatever you set your mind too.”
“There can be no significant change in the world unless we first have the courage to change ourselves. In order to change ourselves, we must first believe that we can.”
Have a growth mindset and train your brain to find new opportunities for growth in all situations.
“Insight without action is worthless, taking action is the only path to change.”
“Beliefs are hidden scripts that run our lives. Our beliefs are the root of our reality and our results. When you change a belief, you can change anything.”
“The most powerful words in the universe are the words you say to yourself.”
“99% of the time when we say we can’t do something, what we actually means is that we won’t.”
“You are 100 percent responsible for your life.”
“You always have more power than you think. Your mind is the most extraordinary tool you have to shape your reality.”
“There are two kinds of people in the world: those with reasons and those with results.”
“It’s never about having the time, it’s about making the time.”
“What stops you from achieving your goals is never external. It’s about your internal game, your commitment to do whatever it takes to be creative, get resourceful and figure it out.”
“You never get stronger if you only do easy things.”
“A fall is never final unless you stay on the ground.”
“Fear is not the enemy, waiting to stop feeling afraid is.”
“Nothing has any meaning besides the meaning we give it.”
“I win or I learn, but I never lose.”
“Action is the fastest and most direct route to clarity.”
“You wouldn’t have a dream if you didn’t already have what it takes to make it happen.”
“Progress not perfection is the only way to bridge the gap between your ability and your ambition.”
“Go beyond yourself. Think in terms of we, not me.”
“Whatever you long for, give to others.”
So many nuggets of wisdom! Marie combines a whole range of personal development teachings into one package and communicates it in an easy to understand way. A motivating and inspiring read, the advice Marie provides in her book is enough to change your life! Another winner of a book ticked off for the Nourished Book Club.
If you didn’t join us this month, I hope you can see why you need to read it now… Grab your copy here and prepare to have your mind blown.
The December book for Nourished Book Club, isn’t actually a book! We’re doing something different this month and having an integration and catch up month. I don’t know about you but December is shaping up to be a busy month for me, so instead of adding to that I’ve decided this will be a great time to read over things or do the activities in some of the books (like the ones Marie has provided us with). If you’ve missed one of the books from this year’s Nourished Book Club, now is a great time to grab a copy and catch up. We’ll be back in January with another amazing book to kick off 2020.
