Book excerpt: What do you do when life unexpectedly throws you a curveball and turns your whole world upside down? For many people, one bad life experience is all it takes for them to give up. Although it can be difficult getting back on your feet after life deals you a blow, you should not give up too quickly. With homespun and heartfelt wisdom, Fred brings extraordinary insights into ordinary principles and challenges the widely-held assumption that what we become in life is predetermined. In an exuberant, conversational style, with lessons from his own life experience and from those who have inspired him along life’s journey, Fred tells stories of people from different backgrounds who have overcome obstacles of various kinds to find their purpose in life. He poses thought-provoking questions intended to challenge you and launch you on the quest to believe, dare, and become all you were created to be.
