The Other 90% Rewind

“Most people live in a very restricted circle of their potential being. We all have reservoirs of energy and genius to draw upon of which we do not dream.”
Robert K. Cooper

The Other 90% by Robert K. Cooper is a great book because it is so inspirational, and it encourages us to be so much more than we already are. I just completed reading it for the 2nd time, and I wish to share some of the important things that stuck out to me this time around.

#1

First, the author believes we only use 10 percent of our true potential. So think about who you are and what you have accomplished in life. I’m sure each of us has overcome some pretty incredible obstacles in life and has accomplished some pretty amazing things. Now imagine this is only 1/10th of what we are capable of accomplishing! Each of us has greatness inside of us. Bringing out that greatness is the difficult part, but we must believe we can be more, do more, and live life more. This book challenges us to raise our awareness and vision of who we really are and what we can become, and then it dares us to do it!

Second, we must value others. We are in this life together to learn and grow by helping, caring, and loving one another. Thus, the book challenges us to make a conscious effort to show we truly value others. We must trust them, love them, and care about them more than we believe we have to or even want to. When we do this, our lives expand and our satisfaction and happiness in life increase--allowing us to become more than what we currently are. The author urges us to leave a legacy by loving others.

Lastly, we are unique, and we have control of our lives. We have ownership over our lives, and we can determine our success and failures. The author believes our life is one-of-a-kind and that each of us has an individual and unique contribution that only we can make to this world. Thus the book challenges us to do all we can to fulfill that purpose and to believe we are special. No one ever has been nor ever will be exactly like you. Thus no one can impact this world in the same way you can!

The Other 90% is a great book that challenges us to be so much more than we already are. I encourage all of us to believe in our incredible capacities, value others, and take ownership of our one-of-a-kind life.
