Why You Were Born

by David L. Johnston

Overview

“There are two important days in your life; the day you were born and the day you find out why!” (Mark Twain) Why are you here on planet earth? Once you know why you were born you will have a new appreciation for your true self, have a known purpose in life and know why you matter. Then, and only then, can you choose a life path, a course of action and eventually a fulfilled life… no disappointments, no pressure to conform to the ideas and expectations of others. You will be free to be you, the real you. In the second part of this book you will learn how to discover your ENA, your Embedded Natural Abilities. How tragic that some will cross the stage of time, be standing at the exit sign, and look back only to see a wasted life of insignificance. None of us can run a good race on the wrong track. “My Way,” only counts if it’s the right way. Read and apply the truths of this book and you will never be a prisoner to your past or the false notions imposed upon you by others. Joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in life will be yours.

About the Author

DAVID JOHNSTON has one driving passion: “Explaining truth in its simplest form to all peoples.” David realizes that without the truth, no smart decisions can be made in any area of life. While raised in a Christian home, David initially rejected most Christian teaching because he saw so much inconsistency in the lives of those who professed it. Except for his authentic Christian parents, what people said and how they lived didn’t line up… too much fake. At age 18, David had a personal experience with God that forever changed his life.
