Introduction



Many people go along in life just for the ride. This is unfortunate because they are aimlessly going in no direction at all. Here are some serious questions to ask yourself: Are you one of those individuals? Do you feel as though you do not have any type of direction or purpose in life? Do you want to become the captain and set the course for your life?

Your life is not a dress rehearsal. You have one chance and one chance only to make something of yourself in society. Whether it is making a significant impact on the world or being an example to the people around you, it is your obligation to make a change for the better. When you follow these proven principles, barriers that come against you in life will not be your main concern. You will be focused on solutions rather than obstacles that are in your way.

I did not say the obstacles and challenges wouldn’t come in your life. You will, however, be able to overcome them. I did not say that opportunities wouldn’t come to you that could cause you to give up and quit. If you keep this book with you all the time and read it over and over repeatedly, you will be able to do things in your life that you’ve only dreamt of.

This book is designed to take you on a journey to where you have never been. It will give you access to areas in your life that you did not know even existed. Some of you may have been on this type of journey before, but soon quit because you did not know how or why you were on this road. This book will show you your purpose for your life and how to reach your destination.

This is not just an idea of mine. These are laws that I put into practice everyday of my life. It is the reason that I am where I am in life. It is the reason that I am in the profession that I am in today. It is even the reason that you are able to pick this book up and read it right now.

I used to bag groceries and gather baskets for a local grocery chain. During this time, I had a dream on the inside of me. I studied many successful people in life and found many of them practicing the principles in this book. I put these principles into my own life and worked these practical laws. I went from pushing baskets to flying jets. I went from carrying groceries to a person’s car to carrying people across the nation. I am currently an airline pilot for one of the best airlines in the United States. This is only the beginning for me. Are you willing to make the same journey for your life? I am not talking about flying airplanes. I am talking about fulfilling your own purpose and creating the lifestyle you desire to live.
