Failure to live out our God given desires can result in the whole world missing out on something great that God had pre-ordained.

After reading this book I relive that I can be successful in every area of my life. I have had many encounters with what Cloud calls déjà vu people, but I let them slip through the cracks. I have a new perspective on life and being successful, one day I would like to be referred to as a déjà vu person. I will simply do this by applying one of the most important of the 9 principle cloud mentions, which is principle 5 “act like an ant”
