It was written with the purpose of providing relief to life's big problems and comforting people's hearts from the inside fire. 
We all have a voice, a motive, a powerful reason that lifts us up day after day, but many times that fire also gets tired and goes out overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and depression. 
The lack of motivation can be more detrimental than the illness itself. It can knock anyone down and results in low performance, physical illness, mental illness, and frustration.

Developing a positive and powerful mindset is the first step towards transformation to overcome any obstacle, which through mirror learning from the shared stories in the book will be assimilated and replicated in your own life. 
Keeping our motivation levels high will be the fuel for our soul. It will be the voice that always lifts you up in adversity and allows you to maintain a fireproof mindset. 
"Finding my own Lion" is an encouraging book that will show you that there are no limits or barriers, and that the greatest strength we have is our own mind, which combined with a purpose makes us completely invincible. It will help you turn any critical moment into an opportunity for success. 
This audiobook can be enjoyed by children, teenagers and adults equally, and is perfect for listening at any time of the day.
