The book itself is amazing, yet I found it had the same effect as other books that hold similar messages - it just doesn't translate well into my day to day thoughts. After reading it I felt the sort of profound enlightenment one might expect when discovering what was written in the book, but woke up the next morning feeling the same as before I had read the book.

"Learning to deal with this fact, to accept and and even rely on this fundamental truth, is the first step towards developing a real purpose in life."

Perhaps I'll get there at some point, but I just haven't figured this out yet. I see the fact there, I understand it, but incorporating it into my daily thinking is just something I can't seem to grasp.

Integrating changes into your being is a slow process. Reading these kinds of books help plant the seed of change, but the seed grows at its own pace. Patience and self-forgiveness

I agree. It takes time and the reading of other books. Eventually, when you're ready, it just sort of clicks and you're there.
