Life's Hard Succeed Anyway

Stop Settling and Seize the Life You Were Created For

By: Allan Blain

Narrated by: Allan Blain

Despite Popular Opinion, Life’s NOT a Beach.

The truth is, everyone has pain, and the next wave of adversity is coming. Author Allan Blain knows this firsthand. On the outside many people believed he was doing just fine—great job, beautiful wife and kids, and a growing bank account. At the same time, the riptide of personal addictions, family tragedies, and unthinkable loss, pulled him under, threatening his safety and sanity. These “waves” forced him to reevaluate everything: his calling, purpose, and the very definition of success. Allan emerged with a simple path to build a “boat” that will withstand the storms and succeed despite life’s challenges.

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

• Stop settling and give up just treading water personally and professionally.
• Craft a compelling vision big enough to help you rise above the crests.
• Seize the abundant life you were created for so you can ride high on the waves.

Inspiring! Motivational!! Reflection!

Highly recommend this book. The Author is raw and authentic sharing his families tribulations and how they triumphed despite. He gives practical advice that the reader can apply to their own struggles and succeed despite adversity. I especially enjoyed the quotes of scripture and how the author weaved it into different challenges and successes he has experienced. This is a very impactful, motivational, thought provoking, practical advice book that I highly recommend to not just read it once but give it multiple rounds to keep you focused on your own success.

Excellent Inspirational Book

This book really motivated me and made it clear how to proceed towards true Sucess.

Inspirational and theologically sound

I was gifted this book, and figured I’d give it a read as part of my professional development for work. I am convinced this title helped me exponentially not primarily in my vocation, but personally in how I want to live my life.

Hearing Allan’s raw honestly about his own struggles and his family’s struggles, even though on the outside everything looked picture perfect, was encouraging. So often, I’m tempted to smile in the Instagram post while rotting in a more private area of my life. Allan’s story of hope through Christ’s goodness and grace on his life is proof that things can not only look good but be, truly, good on the inside.

I’m inspired to prayerfully set professional goals, take a vitamin or two, hit the gym, and find a mentor (or five) after reading this volume. I hope you read it too.

Mandatory Reading For Getting More Out Of Life

Life’s Hard Succeed Anyway is an excellent, focused read about how life’s challenges can make us stronger and more equipped to have the most fulfilling life. Author Allan Blain does an excellent job weaving his personal stories in a way that’s relatable and gripping at times. Stories that ultimately lead to epiphanies that transform Allan and his family’s lives in many positive ways. This should be mandatory reading for everybody, because unfortunately they don’t teach these things in school.
