Follow your dreams, it may lead to your destiny The significance of my book is that I had to literally catch up with my own writing. As I start to write this book, I thought I had conquered the fears and the uncertainties of my life to the point where I was ready to spill out to the world of my victories while teaching others to live out their purpose in life. After writing this book, suddenly I felt uncertainties start to creep back in. I then realize that I had to rethink my views. What were the connections I was missing? Little, did I know that there were still some things that I still had to learn. After all I wanted to present the best picture of how the heart, mind, body and soul must all be in sync, in order to present our best product possible. I needed to fully understand the connection of these entities and how they work together brining harmony and peace in our lives. I had to fully understand and practice it in my life so that I will never fall back into where I just came out of. If by chance I do fall again and I will. I will have a backdrop that will stop me from falling and catapult me back on my feet. No matter our age, growth takes place every minute of every day of our lives. As I now realize the connection, I can feel a transformation taking place within me. Inspire yourself and realize your true worth. Fight whatever tries to block your progress, the fight will be worthwhile because in the end you will win. There are two battles you must fight, one is within and one is without. Your biggest fight comes from within. No matter what voices you hear in your head, listen only to that Voice that tells you that You Can and You will. The closer you get to fulfilling your dreams the harder situations become around you. Use these as motivating steps to get you to your next level. Your second fight comes from without, without having to get permission from the world to bring your visions to life. Obstacles still present but are now invisible to you gone. Dreams realized. You are in control over your life, the world can’t stop you anymore. Keep it going. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas A. Edison.
