The Magnolia Story
by Joanna Gaines, Chip Gaines
Anyone who is a fan of Fixer Upper knows who Chip and Joanna Gains are. Anyone a fan of home decor or renovation knows who they are. By this time, the whole world probably knows who this quirky, unique and all around down to earth couple is.
Like a majority of the population, I became a huge fan of Fixer Upper early on. I loved the authenticity Chip and Joanna showed and just who they were as people. They weren't afraid of being who they were in front of the cameras and they weren't afraid to do what was necessary to follow their dreams even if that meant taking a leap of faith or doing something a bit scary.
This book is just that. They take the reader on the journey of their crazy, sometimes scary, and a lot of the time, inspiring lives. I loved learning even more about them and who they were before Magnolia and who they were before they met each other.
It's amazing to see the way their stories unfolded and later on their story together. The difficulties they went through to get to the point they're at now were really surprising to me, because a lot of the time, you see people making a lot of success and think it came easy to them, because it looks that way.
It wasn't easy for them. They had a lot of setbacks. And that was something that made them even more real and authentic. I just loved learning about how they got to where they are today and if you want to be inspired, read this book. Better yet, listen to it. I listened to the audio book, which they narrate and it was funny, quirky, and all around just who they are.
There is one thing that really stuck with me after reading and I have a feeling it will continue to stick with me for a long time. In our lives, we tend to get stuck in thinking that we won't be happy until we reach a certain point. Joanna touches on this a lot in the book. Always waiting to make something perfect, so you can finally be happy, but by the end you realize, you forget to appreciate and live in the mess along the way. And you can feel stuck. But if you choose to thrive on the way, you become happier and you become a better version of yourself.
Instead of choosing to live in the future, live in the mess and choose to thrive.
