Using the North star as a model, Beck helped me to realize what I'm really here for. This is a hard subject for me to discuss sometimes, as it has come up several times in my life. I hate thinking about my purpose in life sometimes, as I tend to feel I am unimportant. The author only helped to emphasize the fact that God has a purpose for everyone, and she really helped to put that into perspective. Just like there is a North star all the time in the sky, there is a north star all the time in each one of us. Put in simpler terms, her book was a very good ego boost for me because this whole concept is now one less thing I have to worry about, and quite frankly realizing I truly have a purpose helped to aleviate other troubles I have had as well. Wonderful book.
