Dedication

To my kids, Autumn and Aiden. You are so special to me. You bring me joy, a sense of peace, and happiness. You are the main reason I work as hard as I do. You serve as an inspiration for me to achieve greatness. I want you to have a role model you can look up to and want to mimic; not because I am your mother, but because of the impact and legacy I desire to leave on earth. The special message I want to share with my children is:

You can do anything you put your minds to. Life is not worth living if it is not lived with purpose.

Have you ever felt like there must be more to life? When I was growing up, the people in my life always encouraged me to go to school, get a great job, and escape from the dangerous neighborhood I grew up in.

As far as they were concerned, the only way to do that was through higher education and intense work ethic. But when I took that path and reached the destination they had set out for me, I was empty and exhausted. I felt like even after everything I had worked for, I was still waiting to come alive.

Do you know what that feels like? Don’t worry, I found a better way, and I want to share it with you so that you, too, can stop waiting to come alive.

In this book, I’m going to help you realize what you were really made for: what your purpose is. First, we’re going to talk about how you look at yourself and how you can finally feel free from all the outside expectations. Those discouraging moments that the world uses to push you down and limit your options. Then, I’m going to help you conquer your fears, overcome exterior obstacles, and clear out any internal distractions.

You’ll learn how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals and go after what you really want in life. And finally, you’ll learn how to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace in between slaying your goals.

Are you in? Do you want to find the freedom you’ve been searching for to live out your purpose? Then let’s do this. But first, I think introductions are in order. Who am I and why am I the expert you’ve been looking for? It’s all right here in my story.

Who is Kenyatta Young?

It was 5:00 am in the morning when the loud, annoying alarm startled me awake. Outside it was still dark, but I couldn’t wait for the sun to come out if I wanted to start my day on time. The dew hadn’t even formed on the buildings or plants yet.

Every day before high school, I had to go on a grueling two-hour commute. I was willing to do it if it meant I could escape my reality to reach something higher. I knew that I hadn’t fully come alive.

After I forced myself out of bed, got dressed, and did my hair, I would take two buses and a train from the south side of Chicago to the Hyde Park area—just in time for my first class at 7:45 am.

If that wasn’t exhausting enough, after the school day ended, I worked thirty hours a week. My day didn’t stop until after 10:00 pm. Then, I had yet another exhausting commute home. This would be soul-sucking for an adult, but I was just a kid. I was still growing. I was still learning. And deep down I knew that there had to be a better way.

At that point,
