Birthing a Dream

About the Book

What is commitment? Is it something you’re born with, or is it something you develop? What does commitment look like, and is it easily recognizable? How can some have it and others not, and is commitment necessary for success? For author and coach Aaron Womack Jr., answering these questions would require deep reflection on his life and on what commitment means to others. Birthing a Dream shares Aaron’s discoveries after he examines his experiences to learn what it took for him to be committed to achieve his goals and dreams. What he discovered was that, like childbirth, our dreams and aspirations take time to develop and grow before they are ready to come into the world. And as a school principal, basketball coach, and pastor, Aaron looks at examples in the classroom, on the court, and in church to show us the many different ways we can be committed to our dreams. Being successful, achieving your goals, and making your dreams come true takes commitment, but it’s not the only thing—and commitment is about so much more. By putting commitment into perspective, Birthing a Dream can help it come alive to you as you recognize what it takes to bring your dreams into reality.
