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 is the only way to live. We are not meant to shrink our dreams to fit the constraints of our current realities, but grow ourselves to embrace the bold vision that resides within us.

Order now: Hardcover, Softcover, or E-book on Amazon

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 neede help, and she didn't let what anyone else think of her slow her down. This character came to be on of my inspirations - a sort of alter-ego for me, like an inner hero - and it seemed right to use 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.

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.

"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 desire 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. I hope you enjoy my "babies", (as I consider my creations) and I'd love to hear from you what you think of any of it!

Best wishes for your day!

Rochelle
