International Writers Inspiring Change featured book: This is Your SHIFTING Season by Michael L. Williams Jr.

Updated: Oct 12




Simple steps for self-transformation


This is your SHIFTING season: It's time to CHANGE course enroute to your DESTINATION! by Michael L. Williams Jr., presents the reader with some insights into self-development. Thematically, the book focuses on recognizing the need for change in one's life and then taking the positive steps to do so. The author cleverly uses the analogy of learning to drive a stick-shift car, in portraying the various stages a person might go through in shifting their life to a better, higher state. There are some pearls of wisdom in this short treatise, such as: "…one of the main reasons that individuals are not willing to release the emergency brake on their purpose is because of fear; fear of what if it doesn't work, fear of what will they say about this, fear of what if I run out of money, fear…" While the book is generally directed at any reader, it does carry a definite thread of religiosity in it, but if one interprets the author's reference to faith and the necessity of having faith in life, as not only faith in some God, but in fact, faith in oneself, then the overall perspective of this book is helpful in providing a positive outlook on life. As a note, this author is a rags-to-riches success story himself; having spent some 22 years of his life in and out of jails and rehab centers since his teenage years, addicted to drugs, homeless and such, and now an advocate of self-transformation, showing others that they too can rise up and grasp onto a higher purpose in life, no matter how far down they have fallen. His background adds vitality and creditability to his words.
