308 / 365: The Traveler's Gift

Did you ever read a book that smacks you in the face?



I did.

"The Traveler's Gift" is a powerful book written by a man who has "walked the walk". Andy Andrews lost both his parents at the age of 19. During this formative stage of his life, he eventually became homeless. While roaming, he tried to decipher the process to be successful in life, reading the biographies of over 200 successful people. Andrews noticed seven common denominators these successful people shared.

This is where the "Traveler's Gift" comes in. The plot involves a man who has hit "rock bottom". While he is at his low, he travels through time to seven historical figures, each with a lesson for him.

The story is an easy read and one that needs to be shared with everyone. Tomorrow I will begin sharing each lesson and its impact on my life. While it has only been a few weeks, these lessons will be with me for years!!

Until next time....travel away!
