Course Corrections: Sharpen Your Edge through Failure and Lead a Life of Significance

A series of short stories about wrong turns, dead ends, breakdowns, and the course corrections taken, thereafter. No matter where you are today, you are merely a course correction away from where you want to be.

Life is a long process of dealing with everything, oneself, other people, one's circumstances, one's health, one's mental agility or lack thereof. It's a beautifully arduous process and my hope is that you the reader find your voice and your own influence in the following short stories. In the proceeding chapters, I will share some of my most embarrassing and challenging moments in life to date. Most of the stories and memories represent ordinary and mundane experiences in my life. Spoiler alert, there are no NASA missions to space, no Olympic trials of my past, and definitely no Harvard degrees (if those are important to you), but you will hear about my challenges addressing confidence, stress, leadership, friendship, family, faith, death and pride, to name a few. When I look back on my life thus far, these moments delineate an unmistakable breadcrumb trail underscoring why I am the person I am. Just like you, I am on my own quest to discover who I am and why I am here, constantly changing course to make sure I am on the right path. Constantly thinking of good questions to challenge myself with, so that I remain in charge of my being, and not someone else.

However, this book is NOT about me. This book is about YOU. Read this book like you are reading about yourself and immerse yourself in the stories. Read this book while contemplating your own version of questions along the way. Was the narrator acting authentically, why did the narrator make that decision, what would I have done in place of the narrator's action? Feel free to read this book chapter by chapter or skip around to the lessons and stories you find most relevant. However you read it, find your own voice and life in it. Find who you are being in the story.
