It wasn't until much later that I figured out that Riley & I go on the same journey of self-discovery as you see in my book, Lion of Fire. As writers, we often weave themes into fiction books, sometimes without even realizing it, and I think I might have done that in some ways. In this episode, I share more behind one of the main coming of age themes in this book which is finding your true purpose in life. In the book, Riley feels lost and with college graduation looming, he doesn’t think he’s had enough time to figure out what to do with himself when he gets to the real world. He knows he’s meant for more but he doesn’t learn what that is until destiny comes knocking on his door. In life, we can feel the same way and I can attest to this feeling. I believe that we were all put on this planet for a purpose, to pursue a meaningful mission. My hope is that with the sharing of my mission and journey to finding it, you’ll discover yours and start living life on purpose.
