About this listen

A Story About the Moment Everything Changes Shipwrecked. Stranded. No way back. Just a choice: stay where it’s safe and familiar, or step into the unknown and create something new. This isn’t just a survival story—it’s an allegory for every moment in life when the old path no longer works. When staying feels stagnant, but leaving feels terrifying. It’s about the choice to break free from what’s comfortable—whether it’s the life you’ve built, the rules you’ve followed, or the mindset that’s kept you stuck—and step into something uncertain, yet full of possibility. On The Island, you’ll see yourself in every character, in their doubts, in their decisions, in their triumphs. And when the final page turns, one question will remain: Will you stay where it’s safe and familiar, or will you take the first step into what’s next?

The Island is a compact and powerful journey highlighting very common core personality types that we all possess at one point in our lives. There are metaphors and ideologies inherent in all four characters that bring out our own understanding of how we deal with life’s challenges and uncertainties. I love the way the story is both captivating and motivational because it is a subtle call to action that we all need to step into the unknown in order to accomplish personal goals. The greater risk is to stay stuck in our comfort zones as highlighted in the character named Anchor. This short read reminds me that we must burn our boats in order to conquer the larger, most vital goals of our lives!

Motivational and Inspirational!
