This review is from: Dream Big! What's the Best That Can Happen? A Spiritual Guide to Unlimited Possibilities (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Dreams can only come true if we take a leap of faith and courage to make them come true. Barbara outlines a simplified step by step process to help you make your dreams a reality. The only person who can make your dreams come true is you. This book is a tool to use in assisting your thought process encouraging and challenging you to make wise and calculated choices.

This book is not only about making our dreams come true but an introspective method and process of improving all of our personal relationships. Dream Big, Whats The Best That Can Happen? looks into your life, attitude, and experiences and brings them into a spiritual significance that can change and shape your destiny. We are a product of our thought life, we are what we tell ourselves we are, we become what we settle for. I loved the statement Barbara writes, "Whatever your dreaming for, it isn't big enough! This means to say that many of us think small or dream too small. If we are to dream why not go for it?

Dream Big is not just for entrepenuers or business types but for anyone who really wants to make their dreams come true. If you ever wanted to write a novel, be an artist, take up the piano, be a star athlete, a top performer, travel, open a cafe in Paris, or whatever your dreams are you will be encouraged to go for it! in Dream Big.

This book identifies clearly what it takes within ourselves to have the courage to reach for our hopes and dreams and the step by step process that can be used by anyone to make our dreams a reality.

This review is from: Dream Big! What's the Best That Can Happen? A Spiritual Guide to Unlimited Possibilities (Paperback)

Barbara SanFillipo's book, Dream Big, is truely an inspiration. Barbara is also a motivational speaker and did a seminar for our program. I am a Social Worker for a non-profit company in San Diego County, CA, Interfaith Community Services, I run a housing program for families that are homeless due to substanse abuse, domestic violence, etc. Barbara's seminar truely inspired these women to take control of thier destiney and make changes in thier life. It was amazing the effect that Barbara and her book had on these women. I only hope that Barbara will continue to inspire people al over the world. I definitly recommend this book for anyone.
