Over the next few days I will be sharing excerpts from my
new book ‘’EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE’’ A hardbound 122-page Hardbound book priced at
$25.
With my book ‘’EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE’’ I want to inspire
people, with my artwork and story. Because embracing the struggle defines who
you are.
‘’I know what it is like to have a dream and you are the
only one who can see it.’’ Chris Navarro
March 13, 1986, was the day that I quit my corporate
oilfield job. Walking away from a predictable income, I was finally pursuing my
dream of being a professional sculptor. My son, JC, was ten months old, and
Lynne was pregnant with Natalie. Everyone told me it was the wrong decision.
After all, I had a mortgage and a family to support. But there are times in
life when you must make a stand and turn your dreams into reality. I just knew
it. I knew deep inside that I was doing what was best for my family. I believed
my instincts. So, listening to my heart and trusting my gut, I took a leap of
faith and have not once regretted the decision. If you want something bad
enough, you have to be willing to take a chance and put in the effort to make
it happen. I wanted to make a living doing something I loved and was passionate
about. If you have a dream that is the driving force in your life and you have
to give it up, you’ll feel lost and incomplete. I decided I was not going to
spend my life just showing up for a steady pay stub at the end of the week.
