Make Your Story Extraordinary

You have what it takes to make it happen

Steven

If you are Content Creator or a Writer, or a Screenwriter, Podcaster, YouTuber, etc - you need to read this book!

The “Shape of a Story” concept is worth the “price of admission” alone.

Lots of helpful wisdom in this book.

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth

This incredible book is on my list of “Top ‘25’ LifeChange/Achievement Books” – www.BonfireBookList.com

If you are wanting to change your life, I highly encourage you to read it!

From the book description:

“In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People).”

“The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.”

Cheers,

Steven Shomler

Grit is a Choice

I love this shirt and I love it’s message.

And as my friend Dan Linrud wisely said -“A lot of times the circumstances which require the choice of grit are not a choice.”

Cheers,

Go Become Who You Really Are

When I am doing my LifeStory Alchemy work is it heartbreaking how often I encounter those who need to let go of the defective story and ill-fitting identity that someone else gave them.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”

I love this quote by Anaïs Nin - it reverberates with so much wisdom – there is handful of people of who reach that liberating and simultaneously terrifying point in their journey where they have no choice but to blossom into who they really are.

Love + Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life By Marcus Buckingham – An Excellent Life Change/Achievement Book!
