In the bestselling tradition of Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and
Nick Vujicic's Life Without Limits comes a rousing 7-step plan for
living a life on fire, filled with hope and possibility--from an
inspirational speaker who survived a near-fatal fire at the age of nine
and now runs a successful business inspiring people all around the
world.
When John O'Leary was nine years old, he was almost killed in a
devastating house fire. With burns on one hundred percent of his body,
O'Leary mustered an almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to
survive the ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and
the heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the
journey--his family, the medical staff, and total strangers--changed his
life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and inspiring
others to do the same.
An incredible and emotionally honest account of triumph over tragedy,
On Fire contains O'Leary's reflections on being that little boy, the
life-giving choices made then, and the resulting lessons he learned.
O'Leary very clearly shares that without the right people providing the
right guidance, at the right time, he never would have made it through
those five months in the hospital, let alone the years that followed as
he struggled to regain mobility, embrace his story, and ignite clarity
of his life's purpose.
On Fire encourages us to seize the power to choose our path and
transform our lives from mundane to extraordinary. Once we stop thinking
solely on the big moments in our lives, we can begin to focus on those
smaller opportunities that tend to pass us by. These are the events--the
inflection points in our lives--that can determine how we feel about
life now, where we are headed in the future, and how many lives we can
impact along the way. We can't always choose the path we walk, but we
can choose how we walk it. Empowering, inspiring, remarkably honest, and
heartfelt, O'Leary's strength and incredible spirit shine through on
every page.
