Beth Week: It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might of Been

February 13, 2010 By Beth 92 Comments

I was kindly sent a complementary copy of It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might of Been from Viva Editions.

A description of It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might of Been by B. J. Gallagher …

Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself; Life Is About Creating Yourself

Inspired by George Eliot’s famous quote, BJ Gallagher has written a simple, straightforward, and effective guidebook to getting the life you’ve always wanted. The author asks: “What are your passions and talents? Do you have gifts to share with the world? Do you long to pick up that dream again?” If your answer to any of those questions is “yes,” then this is the book for you! You only go around once in this life, so why not live a life you love? Start now. Live now. Love now. Laugh now. Give full expression to who you really are. Go for that deferred dream—whether it’s a new career, a new love, a new sport, or making yourself wealthy. You were put on this earth to be the best YOU that you can be. Whether you’ve lost your job, recently graduated from college, or reached the point where you want to start a new chapter in your life, this is the perfect guidebook. It’s a wonderful combination of practical advice, stories, step-by-step guidelines, and pure inspiration. Don’t just seize the day—seize the rest of your life!

A little review …
I like simple books. This book is a simple book just like the description said it is. The title of this book is one that makes you think for sure. It makes you think about those dreams that you have had over the years but didn’t run after. Maybe now is the time to run after them. If now isn’t the time, then after reading this you will be ready to be what you might of been when the time does come!!

As part of Beth Week, I have been given the opportunity to giveaway a copy of this book!

 

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book from Viva Editions in support this review. No other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

    I wasn't quite sure but I loved to read and write and I thought I would be an author. I especially loved romance novels and wanted to write romance books (teen or adult).

    It's hard to name something off the top of my head, but there's quite a lot. Some courses I want to take to learn new things, some countries I want to travel. I would definitely lend this to my mom so she could chase her dreams too.

    Christina – [email protected] – I dream about writing novels! It isn't totally farfetched because I did well in the worlds of journalism, poetry, and TV production, but it seems like SUCH a huge undertaking! Thank you for Beth Week (the idea is so lovely, and so private and personal and you've extended it to all of us!)!
