Book Review: Write Your Deathbed Wishes!
Summary: 5 Stars
This small book offers fresh insight and clarity in the process of creation, especially in the first step of knowing what you want. From the perspective of your deathbed, look at your life - is it a complete success? If not, what do you wish you have accomplished?
I realize I am often so wrapped up in the current situation that I lose sight of the big picture. It is like running a business from day to day without the mission and vision. I may make my end meet (highly unlikely in a poorly planned business, but I may get lucky . . .) but will I have the contentment and the sense of success?
When I think about life from the perspective of death, small things like having a nice car and house just fall off the picture. It is not like I don't want them - I do intend to have a good life and be wealthy - but there are far more important things, and I know small things will come along when I work on the big things. As the character in the book points out, we tend to aim too low. I was living to make a living and have some good time along the way. He was "merely wishing for a meaningful life." He continues saying "Why not wish for a magnificent life of complete fulfillment?"
Big wishes I embrace wholeheartedly and feel enthusiastic about ignite the magic power of creation. They send out strong messages to the Universe. Petty wishes, on the other hand, fail to inspire us and just don't summon the magic energy within us.
The book describes the author's five wishes and how they have manifested. Even if his wishes are different from yours, I strongly recommend reading it through because he presents great spiritual guides in a simple easy-to-understand manner. For example, do you identify with his anxiety of wanting to do something else while doing one thing, never really savoring the thing you are doing?
I devoured the book in a day and wrote and re-wrote my five wishes in my journal. Then I read my wishes aloud many times until I really got the hung of them. Try it for yourself and feel what energetic difference it brings!
(I must warn you this book is only good if you actually take the question seriously and write down your wishes. It is a very practical book for spiritual growth.)

Summary of Five Wishes: How Answering One Simple Question Can Make Your Dreams Come True
An encounter at a party changed Gay Hendricks forever. A stranger asked him to imagine himself on his deathbed and to consider this question: 'Was your life a complete success?' If not, then 'What would be the things you'd wish had happened that would have made it a success?' Hendricks said his deepest wish was for a loving, lasting relationship with a woman. The stranger said, 'turn that wish into a goal, and put it in the present tense.' On the spot, Hendricks came up with this goal, 'I enjoy a happy marriage with a woman I adore and who adores me.' This goal helped him create his marriage to Kathlyn, and during the past 27 years they've become well-known relationship experts and co-authors of nine books together. This short, focused book shows readers how to discover their own five wishes for a fulfilled life. Neale Donald Walsch's thoughtful foreword explores the power of this approach and explains why he insisted Hendricks share it with others.Personal Transformation Books
