Stop Settling: Light Your Inner Fire And Soar
- Jade Tracy
When we were kids, dreaming big was easy. We'd dream of flying high, going to the moon, and wearing jewels. Now, often the process of "growing up" has caused us to shrink our dreams to fit our current reality, even unconsciously.
But maybe, there's a little voice inside you that's unsatisfied with the hamster-wheel of the familiar. Maybe there's a little flame inside you that just needs a little encouragement to burn bright.
This book challenges the notion that settling for "realistic" goals in the only way to live. W e are not meant to shrink our dreams to fit the constraints of our current realities, but grow ourselves to embrace the bold vidion that resides within us.

The Author: Jade Tracy
Jade Tracy is a pseudonym (pen name) for Rochelle van Niekerk, used to write this first book on dreaming big, silencing your inner critic, and building a future worth living for.
Jade was the first fictional character I ever wrote down - she was brave, strong, protective of those that need help, and she didn't let what anyone else thin k of her slow her down. This character came to be one of my inspirations, a sort of alter-ego for me, like an inner hero - and it seemed right to user her name to write something which I hope will inspire and empower anyone who reads it.
I hope everyone can find their "Jade Tracy" - their vision of the powerful, fearless person they're growing to become.

About the Creator
Rochelle van Niekerk
Living on a remote island gives plenty of motivation to find ways to work remotely, and the growing connectivity of the internet provides a highway to connections across the world.
Growing up in a homeschooled family of nine and growing up across two continents (Scotland, Namibia, and South Africa) has contributed to the diverse set of knowledge and skills I've accumulated - be it scrapbooking, sewing, amateur woodworking, or online content creation and my current job helping to train AI.
"The Game has Changed" 2024 event by Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi was a wake-up call for me to realise that I do actually have dreams, that I should actually have dreams, and that there are actually ways for me to achieve them. This feeling of being alive again has lit me on fire - and it is my greatest wish that others should feel it too!
Dream Big.
Use Your Gifts.
Do Great Things.
If you're still here... thank you for sticking around! I appreciate the time you've taken - the most valuable commodity of all - to read through my content.
Best wishes for your day!
