O knihe

"I feel like I have been lied to" said Nathan. These were not the words you would expect to hear from a

successful businessman when asked about his plans for retirement. Through twenty five years as the

owner of a small business, Nathan had achieved the modern definition of a successful life. His home

and business shared space on a ten acre Colorado property. He owns a second home on the coast of

Florida where he keeps an expensive boat and all the gear to support his love of fishing. "They told me

'he who owns the most toys wins," he said, "but I don't feel like I've won anything."

Nathan had collided with the reality that the version of success presented by modern society is smoke

and mirrors designed to distract us all from the true purpose of life. The definition of success being sold

to our society is a lie.

Like Nathan, I had once been a business owner with cash flow, assets and opportunity yet I found myself

looking beyond all of that, longing for a deeper meaning from life. What should have been the pinnacle

of my personal success became instead a pivot point that turned my life to a new direction.

Through a small prayer, asking for understanding, I unknowingly opened a door that allowed God to

move me off of a Caribbean beach and into a modern wilderness where He changed both my definition

of success, and my understanding of life.

In order to save me from myself, God took me to exile.
