Description
Every day is a gift. Open it. Don’t throw it away. Life itself is a gift. Live it. Don’t pass it by.
The book by Stefanos Xenakis is a collection of short stories from our everyday lives—stories like the ones that happen to any of us at every step. The question is whether we pass by or notice an important lesson and find a reason to reflect on life and on ourselves.
Xenakis’s stories are steeped in warm southern sun, Greek generosity and heartfelt kindness, and deep everyday wisdom. They teach us to notice what we usually call “small things”: a sunset, a flower, a smile, a gesture. And to see beauty in everything—even in ugliness. They teach us to take risks and measure ourselves against our own selves, against our fears; to make an escape from our inner cage. Every day. They teach us to choose and accept our choice, keep our head high, smile, speak our truth, share a kind word, and work hard for our dream. To accept our mistakes, respect them, and love them; not be afraid to make more mistakes in order to make them fewer in the end. To be a winner.
Most people can see, but only a few know how to observe. Develop this ability in yourself, and you’ll start seeing miracles in everyday life. Reading one story after another, you’ll dive into your inner world, reconsider your decisions, your way of thinking, and your way of living. And you won’t forget for even a second that life itself is a gift.
