Soul of a Lifter is so IMPACTFUL that I think I have made notes on 40% of the book. It’s like a course for life. I will have to read it again, this time without pen and notepad in had. How DID YOU get in my head?! My favourite chapter was about the flour mill… if it’s possible to have a favourite. I have many.

“There are no coincidences, just connections.” ~ Gino Acaro ~ (p. 300, Soul of A Lifter)

I don’t do holidays… a day is a day is a day. Applying holiday mentality is settling for mediocrity. It’s an excuse built right into the calendar year.

“I slept in. It’s a holiday!”

“I didn’t workout Monday. It’s was Labour Day!”

“I ate like crap! But it was a holiday.”

However, because I still occasionally resist myself and occasionally crave normality, I thought I would try and “do” a bit of the holiday thing. I decided to read. Today, I had 2 books beside my bed, I picked up Soul of a Lifter, opened to Chapter 34–-524 P’s. The chapters are irrelevant. They don’t even match or make any sense. That’s the point. Read the book and you will understand… maybe. The chapter is about his leaving a 15-year policing career. Just as I left a 10-year policing career. I hope you have gotten some of the connections already – the MIRACLES all around all the time. Every word, ever part, every FEELING, could have belonged to me. Answer the call. Pay attention. Don’t blink (p. 296 SOAL)—the last words I read. I NEVER read this chapter the 1st time through. Being so short, I think I accidentally skipped it.

Then see the second book on the floor. The Reconnection… Heal Others, Heal Yourself

NO COINCIDENCES! ONLY CONNECTIONS! I have to leave my bed and stop being a “normal” person trying to have leisure time in bed. I am compelled to come here and write this. The connections keep coming. 1st paragraph, last sentence of Chapter 34… the IMPACTFUL, transformational, chapter I missed reading the 1st time I read the book: “Original thoughts, original actions… the secret to separating from the rest.” (p. 279). Super Hero stuff.

ONLY CONNECTIONS. YOU PEOPLE GOTTA READ THIS BOOK… For F’s sake. Make the damn connection.

Thank you Krista… rest in peace. Gino Arcaro
