Trent Shelton seemed to have it all together–until everything fell apart. A college football standout, his NFL dreams died when he was cut from multiple teams. With no job and no prospects, learning he had a child on the way and numbing himself with whatever he could find, Trent then found out one of his closest friends had killed himself. Life seemed without hope–until Trent discovered the secret to finding promise in the darkest of times. And now he shares that secret with you.

• become everything you are meant to be;
• face the reality of your circumstances and realize your purpose in life;

Weaving together personal stories from his own life and from others who have also gone through hard times, Trent reveals how you can bring out the best in yourself and establish a happier, more fulfilled future for generations to come.

Ratings and reviews

I cry myself every night, but tonight I read and read and I feel Trent your an angel with a powerful message , you simply emulate the meaning of Live, Love, and Laugh so inspiring your gonna nail it ! I m surviving because of this book I'm living because if this book and because of this book I have a friend in you , perhaps one day will meet simply to touch the very soul that saved me !

This book will have you go through a WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS....it will show you areas that you have been healed from, where you currently are, and prepare you for the future. It will remind you that your battles have help you become the person you are growing to be. It will remind you that embracing your past will help you not only heal but help others. ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON’T READ...Trent did the audiobook as well. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO GET THIS MESSAGE. This book was 10 years in the making. You can and will find yourself in the pages of this book.

When I started this book it brought feelings up that I didn't want to feel. There was a reason I shoved them down and buried them so deep and there wasn't any reason for me to bring anything back up and try to relive any of those situations. I guess I was convinced that I had dealt with them and that was the way to do it. Until I read this, I thought I had dealt with most things the right way. It truly forced me to dig deep, really take a look at who I am, inside and out, and I asked myself who is it that i want to be in 10 years. I always knew that my life would hopefully just be good but I never really sat down and asked myself what exactly it was that I wanted or who it was that I wanted to be. Im going to read this again but this time I plan to make a workbook for myself and get to work! I'm excited for my growth and all the positive changes that I've made.
