In the Moment Maker,
Carlos Whittaker encourages readers to live each moment and make it count
because you will never get to relive the special moment. In the book, he
explored three different types of moments including created moments- we are in
control of creating special memories, received moments- we received a surprise gift,
and lastly rescued moments- making every day count. Throughout the book, he
shared immeasurable stories about living your live to the fullest.
One of these stories that Carlos Whittaker shared was
about meeting a transgender at a coffee shop named Nicole. He sat down next to her and began to ask her
questions in order to understand her story. She opened up about the struggles
about being transgendered and what it truly means. Later that night, Carlos
went to a honky-tonky with her and a couple of her friends. They all started
fighting a crowd and they were trying to prove a point to the world. Carlos reached
out to Nicole and told her to stop fighting and that she was worth so much more
than this. His words eventually got through to her and she stopped fighting.
And Carlos word’s deeply touched Nicole because no one has ever told her she
was worth anything. Carlos took this special moment and decided to instill hope
into her life.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who
is longing to make their life count for something significant. I immensely loved
the stories that Carlos Whittaker revealed about the many different moments
that has impacted his life. He is an excellent teacher and writer and he was
very relatable. This book has reinforced to me the importance of living my life
to make a different and to enjoy and seize the opportunity in the present
moment. This book was a wonderful reminded to me that my destiny is essential
and the many moments will add up to a legacy good or bad. If you’re looking for
an inspiration book, then please read this book!
