Adversity Brings Balance: From Observing Your Life to Creating It

WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK FROM ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS?

There is a particular kind of night that most of us meet at least once. Something has changed. Your health, your work, a person, a plan. And you find yourself awake, wondering how you got here and whether you can find your way back to yourself.

Aké Satia knows that night.

She built a life across three continents. She spent two decades inside some of the world’s largest corporations. And she did it while living with multiple sclerosis, learning the hard way that the life you plan and the life you get are rarely the same thing.

Adversity Brings Balance is what she learned. Not a system. Not a set of rules for people who already have it together. It is a journey in five parts (observe, grow, discover, decide, create) that starts exactly where you are, with the questions you are already asking. Who am I? Who has been writing my story? And how do I take the pen back?

Along the way you will be told some things that are easy to forget. That your uniqueness is not a problem to be managed. That perfect is not on the menu, and never was. That true friends matter more than almost anything. And that adversity, unwelcome as it is, has a way of returning something to us if we let it.

This is a book for anyone who has stopped living and started merely surviving, and suspects there is a difference.

You do not have to be fixed to begin. You only have to begin.
