"Every day, every moment is a gift to be here. Life is the gift that gives our souls a place to be", writes Ricky Roberts III, in his inspirational and heart felt book Where Did the Gift Go?. The author treasures live, and invites the reader to not take it for granted, as do so many people.
Ricky Roberts III understands the value of life. Having survived a multiple stabbing incident at age seventeen, he knows that life can end in the blink of an eye. As a result of his experiences, the author decided to live every moment to its fullest possibilities. Ricky Roberts believes that too many people have chosen to not value life. Instead, they go through the motions of living, but never truly live. Because of what the author considers a lack of consideration of the real value of life's purpose, people are unhappy. They feel that life has passed them by, that they have missed too many opportunities, and hold down jobs that they don't enjoy. Instead of living, the author believes they have become close to losing the precious gift.
Ricky Roberts III (photo left) invites his readers to step outside of the box that so many people have build around their lives. The author challenges people to really live and truly enjoy the moment. Instead of spending one's life suffering, Ricky Roberts wants people to seize that moment, and do what is important for them and their families. He also suggests taking notice of the beauty of the world around us, instead of being almost unaware of its existence. The author believes the American Dream may be right for some people, but it may not be happiness and the gift for others. Instead of being trapped in the box of chasing a dream that is not what a person wants in life, Ricky recommends following your inner purpose as your guide.
For me, the power of the book is Ricky Roberts III's inspirational message. He writes from his heart, as someone who believes in the Divine spark within all people, and craves awakening that spirit in everyone. He knows that life is a precious gift, and that people have a higher purpose in this life than to be miserable and chasing false dreams. The author reminds us that not being part of the mainstream culture is not a bad thing. Indeed, he considers marching to your own drum beat to be living life to the fullest and being truly free. He reminds us that Jesus was also an outcast, who followed his own inner purpose. The author believes we should let our own soul shine through, in every precious moment of our lives.
I highly recommend the deeply personal book Where Did the Gift Go? by Ricky Roberts III, to anyone seeking to live their lives to the fullest. Instead of being unhappy, the author guides the reader to find a true purpose in life, and to make a real difference in the lives of others around us.
Read the life changing book Where Did the Gift Go? by Ricky Roberts III, and rediscover the parts of your life that may have become lost along the way. This book will help you to recover that purpose and the gift of life, and keep you from losing your way again.
