Why is it essential to follow your dreams? What part of your soul would you sacrifice if you never tried? What can we learn from life’s rejections and failures?

In today’s episode, T. A. invites you to see your own life as a story. A story of which YOU are the author.

He shares some of the most bizarre and surprising (and funny!) turns in his own life story…  including the 32 rejections of his first novel! He also shares the laugh-out-loud tale of how he met the wonderful author Madeleine L’Engle.

After getting all those rejections, how did he become the author of more than 30 published books, numerous best-sellers, and many international editions? Tune in to find out… and to begin seeing your life as a story.

Check out T. A.'s blog on this topic: Live Your Life as a Story.

Magic & Mountains is hosted by T. A. Barron, beloved author of more than 30 books. Carolyn Hunter is co-host.
