I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Know You Are Chosen
Lift Up Your Eyes
Keep Your Memory Box Full
Travel Light
Love Well
Live in the Now
Power Up
Don’t wait another minute to discover the exceptional you!

Exceptional You by Victoria Osteen is easily one of my favorite books of 2019. I love reading inspirational books, but this one resonated with me from beginning to end. Maybe it’s because of the things I have been experiencing in my life lately that made me hold on tightly to Victoria’s words of encouragement. The title implies that there are seven ways to live encouraged, empowered, and intentional, but I feel as though Victoria gives the readers more than seven ways to live your best life.

The reason I feel as though she gives more than seven ways is each of the seven core principles is broken down with two main points. Let me not forget about the Exceptional Thoughts section!! The Exceptional Thoughts section opens up discussion amongst each other or yourself. I would recommend getting yourself a journal and write out how you can apply these principles to your life.

Victoria Osteen also shares stories of people who are now living their exceptional life. That’s one of the things I love about Victoria; she has the gift of storytelling. One of the stories she shared was a story of her friend that owns IT Cosmetics. It’s always a fantastic thing to hear about the backstory of someone’s success. It serves as a reminder that things don’t ever happen overnight. We have to be persistent, faithful, and never give up on our dreams! God may not come when we want him to, but HE is still on time.

I also recommend that everyone get themselves a Memory Box and hold on close to it. You will have to read the book to find out what I’m referring to, but I believe it’s one of the most powerful thing you can do for yourself.

I highly recommend you buy this book for yourself! It’s time for us to start embracing what makes us Exceptional!!
