That which we manifest is before us...


I am in the process of reading The Art of Racing in the Rain. It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it. I often find myself thinking back to what I've read and the life lessons in this book. I may write more about the book once I've finished reading it, but for now this is the quote that stands out to me the most:

That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.


I love this quote, I think it's beautiful and so true...

We read that for book club a while ago and I loved it. "The car goes where your eyes go."

OK, maybe I'll have to revisit this book. I started listening to it a while ago, but it got a little too sad for my running enjoyment so I stopped.

@Stephanie - it definitely has some sad parts, I needed to have tissues handy! But, I just love the overall message (and there is a happy ending!).
