Are you harboring a goal or passion that you’d like to begin pursuing?
Do you feel that there is something bigger out there for you even if you can’t name what it is?
Five years ago author Kim Dinan felt the same way. She had a good job and lived in a wonderful city. She owned a house and two cars and a wardrobe full of clothes. By the looks of it, she was successful. But there was a deeper truth inside of her that cried out for something more. She wanted to travel the world as a writer.
Against the odds, the author set out down the path to her dreams. She had no idea what to expect.
Five years later, she now travels the world as a full-time writer. And she learned a number of valuable lessons along the way.
Life On Fire reveals real-life tips that will show you how to turn your biggest dreams into reality. Whether you want to travel the world, run a marathon, or simply learn how to make more room in your life for the things that bring you joy, this book will help you get started.
Life On Fire will teach you what to expect as you begin to walk the path to your dreams. From helping you to connect with the voice of your soul, to overcoming fear and obstacles, dealing with naysayers, and handling the inevitable realities of sacrifice and failure, Life On Fire will give you the tools you need to prepare for your life’s most important journey.
Kim Dinan is the author of The Yellow Envelope and Life on Fire. Endlessly curious about the world, she has backpacked to over twenty-five countries on five continents and has called India, Mexico and numerous campgrounds around the USA home. Her love of the outdoors landed her a coveted job on Backpacker Magazine’s Get Out More Tour and has compelled her to climb mountains in the Himalayas, raft frigid rivers in Patagonia, and walk five hundred and fifty miles across Spain on her own. Her writing has appeared in Parks and Recreation Magazine, Northwest Travel Magazine, Trailer Life Magazine, Go Explore Magazine and OnTrak Magazine, among others. Her popular blog, So Many Places, was named one of the best outdoor blogs by USA Today and has been featured online by such sites as Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. She is a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and lives in Ohio with her husband and daughter.
Blame it on Netflix but I gave this three stars because it means "I like it". And I do like this book for its brevity and it's ability to inspire.
I didn't do the exercises at the end of each chapters but I reckon they'll be helpful for those with absolutely no clue about what they want to do.
If you're looking for a road map to achieving your dreams this isn't the book for you. However if you're feeling stuck and don't know what you were put on this earth to do then you should pick this up.
Kim does not mince words. There is no excess, no filler to this book. Kim has a message and offers practical steps to help you stop making excuses and start moving towards wherever it is you feel truly moved to go. I have read a number of books of a similar genre recently and this is the first one where I felt like the author really gave advice that I could start acting upon the moment I put the book down.
Very inspiring, I am beginning to work through the exercises. I enjoy Kim Dinan's blog a great deal, and I think she did a great job sharing her story and inspiring the reader to create their own ideal life. I will go back to this book again.
