DESTINED TO SUCCEED - A Novel of Personal Growth

No one is born destined to succeed. Destiny is built.

Daniel Rentería is 27, washes dishes in a small eatery in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, and is convinced that “some are born under a lucky star and some are born star-crossed.” His father, a carpenter, died of a heart attack and left him a shuttered workshop, 280,000 pesos in debt, and a moneylender about to take everything.

One freezing night, in front of the workshop door, an old blind bookseller offers him a strange deal: twelve Sundays, twelve lessons. Every Sunday, Daniel must read aloud to him and complete a single task during the week. If he makes it to the twelfth Sunday, they will climb El Estribo hill together to watch the sunrise, and up there the old man will give him something his father left him.

Getting up early. Stopping the blame. Facing his debts. Choosing who to walk with. Failing, and starting over. With the wisdom of Epictetus, Seneca, Franklin, and Cervantes, and of the old folks of the lake, Daniel will discover that success isn’t reaching the top. It’s who you become on the way up.

A novel of personal growth about habits, discipline, second chances, and what it means to have someone believe in you.
