5 out of 5 stars "Life never makes sense - don't wait"   February 7, 2007
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Life can be tough, if you get knocked down, sometimes it can really take deep inner strength and courage to pick yourself up. As a joker, I know what it is like when I'm not in the mood to lift others. It can leave me feeling that there is no one out there to lift me when I need it - and that is when I am reminded that I shouldn't be relying on outside forces - the healer lives within and I have to dig deeper.

Positive emotions lead to a longer life, deep down everyone knows this to be true and yet we miss the point on a daily basis - we forget and become negative, we fret, we moan, we judge, we blame and ultimately we totally dismiss the fact that we are going to die and that life is oh so short.

I have read extensively about SynchroDestiny and I also know that good timing is a prerequisite for comedy - I really needed a laugh, I needed my spirits to be lifted and the postman delivered this CD. It came at the right time and it didn't let me down.On this CD - which is a live performance in front of an audience, Dr Siegel offers humorous and compelling stories that illustrate the importance and impact of our attitude on our health and longevity. As I listened to this CD, three quotes hit me between the eyes and stopped my mind - "Life never makes sense - don't wait", "Get busy living" and "Make every day precious" - there isn't a human on this planet who could sanely argue with any of that! The messages on this CD are examples of principles that can help every one of us see life with new eyes - and start to really live.

The stories are enlightening, they give encouragement and hope, they speak of strength and gutsy determination - they speak of truth, of living life while you are alive and the one simple action we as listeners need to take can be summed up in a single word; implementation.

This CD offers a philosophy of living; a way of thinking, it reminds us of something so easily forgotten; that life is cause for celebration, each day is cause for celebration, in fact each moment is cause for celebration. It's called the beginner's guide and it offers you just what you need; somewhere to start and something to build on. Dr Siegel isn't a comedian, so don't buy the CD for kicks or a cheap laugh - if you want to change your outlook on life and thereby improve your overall wellbeing and life experience then don't even hesitate.

Listening to this CD reminded me how precious life is and that we should grasp each moment with the delight and awe of a child who sees snow for the first time. I passed a graveyard the other day and the impact of Dr Siegel's CD got me thinking - I wonder how many worries are left beneath each gravestone?
