Finding Your Way - As shown on Amazon.com - At the heart of Dave Marley's book is a simple premise: Finding your way doesn't mean you always know where you're going. It's learning how to find your way back to what's important. FINDING YOUR WAY is a fascinating examination and eye-opening perspective on finding your path when you’re lost. Whatever your vocation or aspiration, Dave Marley’s unique insights into what it means to be successful will hit home. He reveals a delineation that puts success within your reach as his story encourages you to keep striving. Whether you desire to build a business, strengthen your children, or explore the world, you can achieve it by deciding what's important, finding a way, and avoiding excuses. The way we respond to life's experiences drives our actions, careers, relationships, happiness, and health – everything that matters in our lives. Self-doubt, shame, sadness, fear, or anger can too quickly steer us in the wrong direction. Here, Dave Marley shares his own unabridged search for Sanity, Sobriety, and Success. Finding Your Way is not about ignoring difficult emotions and thoughts; it's about facing them courageously and then moving past them to bring your best self forward. Notable though his present success may be, Dave Marley's legacy will not be about his wealth. It will be his passion to show people that mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.(May 12, 2022)
