I felt like putting some time and space in between, in order to be able to extract its essence and pass it forward.
I’ll give you the main three reasons that make me truly believe that this book is a real asset for any person, whether a teenager, a young adult or a mature (and maybe wise) one.
1. THE CLEAR STRUCTURING OF THE FOOTSTEPS ONE NEEDS TO FOLLOW TO LIVE A FULFILLING LIFE. Footsteps rendered in mindsets, not in recipes or "do that and that". Reading the book created the opportunity to analyze my own thinking structures and acting patterns, I became more aware of my own mindsets and, even more, I discovered some new mindsets that I can partner with and bring more joy into my every day life. Moreover, I found in the book options to educate specific mindsets – which I see as a bonus from the author.
2. LIVED AND SHARED EXPERIENCE, something of an inestimable value to me. There is this saying “Do as the friar says, not as he does”. Now, this is, in my opinion, the perfect synthesis of lack of balance and alignment with one self. And, fortunately, it is exactly the opposite of Al Kamara’s book. Mr. Kamara tells the story he personally lived, the people who inspired him, the mentors that really impacted his way through life. While reading, it’s impossible not to envision his ways, your ways, and, besides the story, you get this strong awareness that success is achievable for each and every person. That, whatever your birth place might be, you have the power to transform iron into gold, if this is what your soul is craving for and you commit your life to that goal.
3. VISION. I finished the book and I took a step backwards. And then I realized I was in front of a painting. Not Al Kamara’s life painting, but mine. Mr. Kamara created the guidelines for me to see my life landscape, but also to envision a new canvas, one that you I can fresh, no matter where my life journey has already carried me. The seven mindsets he describes can be milestones in a life design, a landscape that you create for yourself, a landscape representing you and you only.
I would say that this is the legacy Mr. Kamara generously offers to us all: the guidelines to a fulfilling life that you “author” yourself, which you create consciously and taking full ownership of your journey.
Long story short: through „The Drive to Aim High”, Al Kamara – the kid who was born in a poor African village and who has become a successful and complete man – launched in the air the challenge of being and of becoming at the same time.
Dreams fulfilled and dreams lost, illusions and disillusions, hard work and optimism, strength of heart and strength of mind – this is the story of Al Kamara and can be the story of the ones who find the drive to aim high, towards mind and soul fulfillment.
