My Story: The Inspiration Behind i Millennial[DK1]
If you know me, you know I love being happy and mainly learning through deep conversations, and I am always wanting to help, sometimes to a fault. That instinct kicked into high gear in 2020. When COVID-19 hit, I watched my two high school-aged sons, Luke and Eric, attend classes via Zoom from their bedrooms. It struck me that despite all their schooling, they were about to graduate without being fully prepared for what the real world had in store.
I realized they needed a crash course in "adulting." Suddenly, the massive Self-Help section at Barnes & Noble made perfect sense. I wanted to give them a guide to everything at once—financial skills like credit reports, budgeting, and compound interest; mental wellness tools for anxiety, mindset, and finding purpose; and practical advice on everything from organizing your life to avoiding a bad car loan (yup, that happened to me at 18!). That's where the idea for this book was born.
Over the next five years, this personal project grew into a mission. I dove into hundreds of books and spent thousands of hours on YouTube learning from experts to gather the best available information. I rewrote the entire book four times, determined to create a concise guide my boys could keep in their backpacks—a reference they could turn to whenever they had a question about “Why they feel a way?” or “How to do something?”
My Big Takeaway from Writing this Book – The Bottom Line!
After five years of research and writing, I realized all these topics were connected by one central theme: Finding your Purpose and Awakening to it! Discovering your "why" is the most essential part of life. It provides the clarity and direction you need when things get confusing. It’s the inner fuel that keeps you motivated, whether you're building a new habit or just staying focused on what matters.
With purpose & Awakening, anxiety fades and fear loses its grip. Don't confuse it with passion—they aren't always the same, but a true purpose will almost always ignite your passion.
