The Destiny Formula: Find Your Purpose. Overcome Your Fear of Failure. Use Your Natural Talents And Strengths To Build A Successful Life. Kindle Edition

There's been plenty of times I've asked myself "what's my purpose and destiny in life?" I'm enjoying life, however over and above being a husband, dad, and employee, what difference can my life make in the lives of others? As you get older, you certainly want your life to positively impact those around you.

The next question though is "how?" How can you discover, and then make your life more purposeful? As the author says, "don't be the person who ends up looking back on your life with regrets." He also says "A life without purpose is powerless."

In one helpful exercise, the author challenges you to write a one-sentence statement of what direction you'd like to go in life. He then systemically goes through an approach to help you get there. He also helps to break down your small and limiting beliefs.
This is no flash in a pan method. The author talks about the time, patience and dedication you'll need to do amazing things. If you want more from your life, this book will help you get there.

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry our their dream.”—Les Brown

Ayodeji wants you to reach the end of your life having lived out your hopes and dreams, written your books, sang your songs, and fulfilled your destiny.

He’s distilled a great deal of wisdom into a quick read. The Destiny Formula is a book you’ll want to read over and over again.

Success is all about personal responsibility. He explains we all have decisions to make: Choose The Lottery Approach or The Sculpture Approach… The Epicurean Attitude or The Stoic Attitude… Purpose and Priority or Aimless Busyness… Successful friends or Unsuccessful friends…

His Contrast Strategy reminds me of something I have observed called the Power of Fools: http://www.happyliving.com/2015/04/01/the-power-of-fools/

Success is about choosing a life of continuous learning and improvement. Living your successful life without arrogance or apology.

He writes with direct, straightforward language. He’s organized advice in frameworks of thought that you can apply directly to your life.

With lifelong learning, doing the work every day, anyone can transform themselves into their personal vision of success. He emphasizes; “To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want”. Never forget it.

Ayodeji wants you to happily, patiently, and purposefully slug it out one inch at a time day-by-day until you reach your destiny!!

Every section of this books rings true for me. I relate to all the fears, mistakes and misguided thinking – thinking that can only be outgrown by living, aging, and making mistakes. If I had it to do over, I would use this book as my roadmap - it's a guide for finding your path, thinking clearly and positively, developing a relationship with learning that will support lifelong success, dealing with obstacles and more. As it is, I will apply the steps detailed in this book to keep me on the path to a more powerful and purposeful life. I recommend this inspiring book to anyone whose mind is open to behaving in new ways for the sake of happiness and fulfilment. The author has a calming and convincing style. This is a great book.

It's easy to go through life focused on the day to day grind and checking off things off your endless to do list. At the end of the day you are left feeling exhausted because you have no overarching purpose to anything you are doing.

Reading this book will help you identify your "why" which is the biggest way to motivate yourself to do more than the typical day to day tasks and transform your life. Ayodeji takes you through a journey in a step by step process to help you reflect and nail down answers to questions that you've likely never asked yourself before.

I can’t believe this is Ayodeji Awosika’s first book. His writing is so clear, well thought out and encouraging. He gently walks you through the stages of figuring out what your true strength and calling in life is. Then he gives you the tools you need to continue on your authentic, destined path. In the process, he explains why others won’t take the steps to stand out in the crowd and make the decisions that would make them successful in business.

My husband & I have taught our son about what we learned in business through the years. I’ve already told them that this is the next book we should read and have a family discussion about. This is definitely a book everyone should read!

In summary, here are the words of Ayodeji Awosika:

“I truly believe that success is something that everybody can have. If you figure out what your strengths are and continue to develop them you will succeed. Don’t worry about what other people around you are doing. Focus on your mission.

Like I said earlier in the book, persistence pays. Don’t follow your passion. Work on your passion. Patience and diligence are what separate the mediocre from the great. Whatever you’re trying to achieve is possible if you give it enough time.

You get what you give in life. If you want to stay inside of your comfort zone and never take any chances that’s fine, but don’t expect to live a great life because you won’t.

I know it can be scary to do something great, but you have to push through the fear and do it anyways. The fear doesn’t ever go away, but you build more courage each time you’re able to act in spite of your fear.

Make your plan. Follow your plan. Stay persistent and never give up. If you do that, you’ll have everything you’ve ever dreamed of. “
