Moment Makers by Carlos Whitaker discusses how taking
advantage of specific moments in life can turn them into the best
memories. Some of his examples are play
cards on the side of a deserted road when their car broke down, going up to a
complete stranger and talking to them, and slowing down enough to take a moment
with your children.
I enjoyed this book a lot.
Before reading this book I did not know Carlos Whitaker by name. But since reading this book I have found a
lot of videos on youtube and learned a lot more about him. (FYI-not in a creepy stalker way either, he
discusses his youtube videos in the book.
I just checked them out.)
I think Carlos makes a lot of great points about how we need
to open our eyes and be ready for anything because 1) you never know what/who
God is going to put in your path each day and 2) bad situations can turn into
moment makers with the correct attitude (i.e. sitting on the side of a deserted
road playing cards). It has challenged
me to look at every situation in a different way to see how we can turn the frustrating
into fun and the bad into good.
Note: I did receive a copy of this book for free from the
publisher. The opinions above are my own
and I was not compensated for a positive review.
