Mike Palombi’s unfortunate life choices has led him from a Prisoner of Pride to a Prisoner of Hope.
–
After hearing my story of redemption and restoration through decades of getting smacked upside my head-both literally and figuratively, most people decided, “You should write a book, Mike!” But all I had ever done about writing a book is stand in defense against why I couldn’t write a book. To me, writing a book was just another opportunity to fail.
If I haven’t learned anything else on my journey of change, I’ve learned that the greatest enemy of accomplishment is the fear of failure. Writing this book had become a challenge to set aside my fear and do what others had encouraged me to do despite the fact that I was not anxious to do it.
The task of writing a memoir required me to operate far outside of my comfort zone and in what I call, “the uncomfortable zone” of transparency and vulnerability. That leap of faith triggered a personal examination of my life, so thorough, and so complete, that it brought healing and restoration to my life. That leap of faith is the means by which I have become an author!
