WOW!

I am always looking for ways to improve myself - especially from high achievers - so when I saw a book written by an Olympian, I had to pick it up.

I expected to hear about mental toughness when training in a hyper competitive sport, but that's not what this book focuses on... it focuses on something even better!

this book was written by an Olympian who knows all about discipline, training, and winning... but this Olympian didn't have the perfect life. Esmie tells about a life of hardship and regret. One where she got in her own way.

And you know what? That is so much more relatable. I found imesurable wisdom in this book. I loved reading it. I loved how she tied her stories into the lesson and gave me an action plan on how I can fix the issues I am having in my everyday life.

If you're looking for a book with a lot of answers that is written in a very interesting, engaging way then look no further because this is it.

Real and honest

I really appreciate how Esmie shares her own experiences and how we can use the same process she used to eliminate stress and burnout.

Great Motivational Piece

If you are looking for some inspiration, then you have found the right book! The author uses her own personal story to elaborate on how to embrace challenges and overcome them. My personal favorite is how she gives you simple tactics to overcome your own challenges. This is a must read for anyone who thinks they can't overcome their current situation!

Great read!

Lots of great chapters in this inspirational book, but I especially liked the authors personal experiences. It gives the book another dimension for sure. Her story is relatable in that she touches on how one should embrace challenges and tackle their fears. Everyone experiences challenges throughout life and this book is definitely a great guide for people to never give up and have some guidance on how to do that. I recommend this book!

Super Motivational!!

If you are stuck and not sure how to overcome and push on forward, this is the BOOK for you. It's super packed with the author's story of how she was able to face the challenges and step into her own power. The story was highly relatable to me and it's one book I will revisit at least once per month to stay on track

Challenges are inevitable, and this book helps us navigate them.

We are bound to face difficulties at some point in our lives, this is a fact of human existence. Yet, how we are able to effectively deal with and embrace life’s challenges are what make all the difference. This book helps us learn how to navigate the difficult times, and I believe that anyone can benefit from the value that is offered within each chapter.

Must listen!

Proud of this Black Canadian Olympian! Esmie Lawrence is an example for other young people who have dreams they want to achieve. Read her book and listen to the podcast to glean nuggets of life lessons from this hardworking woman. Thank you Esmie for showing us what persistence looks like! Bravo!

Embrace your challenges to live authentically!

I appreciate the author Esmie Lawrence's courage to share her stories and her vulnerabilities. The wisdom she gained from life experiences and overcoming challenges are commendable. The two chapters that I find most relevant to me currently were the chapters that talk about stress management and decrease busyness. It reminds me of a book I'm currently reading--Essentialism by Greg Mckeown. With the current fast-paced lifestyle, it is so easy to get lost in the busyness of the world. The chapter was a good reminder for me to reflect what or who are the most important people to me. The book covers a few other useful advice, such as forgiving others and being disciplined. Given that Esmie is a former Olympian, her advice on being disciplined holds a solid ground.

Inspiring

Esmie's story is a very inspiring one. Abandoned by her father, Raised by a single mother in the most challenging of situations. Her mom then moved Esmie to Canada, where she became an olympian, and an inspiring success story!

The book is quite motivational, and has served to rekindle my passion for success, self development, and growth.

Loved the Book!

I love how she gave her personal life examples to help others come into their own and embrace doing new things to change their life. Very inspiring!
