Authenticity: How My “Why Me” Moment Shaped My Life

Book excerpt: This book was started out of a desire to help someone else know that they are not alone in their life struggles. Having experienced multiple setbacks in all areas of my life, I know that sharing some parts of these situations would encourage someone else. The bonus about Authenticity: How My “Why Me” Moments Shaped My Life is that you get to read about other people’s experiences too. I was asking some people what Change Management means to them, and after hearing their explanations, I told them about my thoughts about it. Change management to me, is Life. We all want our life to go a certain way, but life happens how its destined nonetheless. We cannot throw in the towel because we do not like what is happening to us, so we do whatever it takes to go on. This book will motivate anyone who reads it. If we persevere, if we are consistent, focused, and intentional, we can make it through anytime and every time. All the contributors were authentic; they shared a vulnerable part of their life’s journey and how they persevered through it all, to inspire others. I was inspired, and I learnt a whole lot from this process. I hope you do too.
