LIVE YOUR TRUTH

Update

Today is November 22, Thanksgiving day in the US.   I have a lot to be grateful for.   Five months ago, I published this little book on Amazon, expecting to sell ten copies.   Eight of them bought by me.   Life had other plans.

To think I was so close to never publishing it.   That the fears of what others would think almost held me back.   But because I loved myself, I put the book out to the world.   And, well... wow.

If there is one lesson I can share from the experience, it is this: share your truth.

Whatever your truth is, live it, share it.   The world will respond in ways you never could have imagined.   Life will blow your socks off.

I continue learning new lessons and am happy to share them with you.   Below is a link where you can sign up for my email newsletter.

It goes without saying, I will never spam, sell your email address, or send you cat photos.

  You might hear from me once a month or so, only when I have something of value to share.

In the meantime, I look forward to reading your emails, your tweets, your reviews.   They are all a gift to me.   I can't thank you enough.

Foreword

In December of 2011, I was invited to be a participant at Renaissance Weekend in Charleston, SC.   Not what you think - no jousting knights or fair maidens.   Instead, a conference attended by CEOs from Silicon Valley and New York, Hollywood types from LA, and politicians and their staff from DC.   It's like TED, but everyone is assigned to participate in panels or give a talk.   The application asked for awards won and recognitions received, and as an example, listed the Nobel Prize.   Really.

I have no awards to speak of.   Or pedigree.   No Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley on my business card.   When the founder of the event introduced me to the audience at a talk I gave - the title assigned to me, "If I could do anything... " - he said, "Kamal cannot keep still.   Whether as an infantry soldier in the US Army or climbing the Himalayas or walking across Spain on an ancient pilgrimage, he's always moving. "  He'd done his research.   I don't remember the rest, but I remember his last line, "I'm sure he'll have something interesting to share with us. "
