Description
A compilation of stories from mindful female life leaders about overcoming obstacles, following one’s instincts, and making personal choices that fit
...
with your needs and wants to live your best life.
Don’t Wait in the Wings is based on the metaphor of not waiting backstage. Instead, when it comes to living your life and following your dreams, step up and take centre stage. Don’t wait for life to happen.
The book focuses on authenticity and following your desires and aspirations, and to trust yourself and not resist your inner fire. If you don’t listen to your true self, the stress can affect your physical and mental health. When you are truly aligned with what you want, then you can be happy and serene. The book shares stories of finding happiness and survival despite loss and bereavement, divorce and being set up for potential unhappiness from childhood. You can overcome anything. Each writer tells a story about her personal journey and what she did to find fulfillment, peace and happiness – one day at a time.
The stories talk about the pressure to fit in with culture and society, and how to embrace what is personally fulfilling instead of making someone else happy. The book empowers women with information and permission to be true to themselves, and lets them know, “if you can embrace your beliefs, take action and be determined, you can find personal satisfaction.”
Don’t Wait in the Wings shows it is possible to live life on one’s own terms. Authenticity can inspire the younger generations to pursue their dreams. Life isn't about what is expected of you. Life is about living your own life.
