Prisoners of Hope
Motivational Conversations to Help You Achieve Your Dreams
by Salvador S. Erazo

What holds you back from your dreams? Surrounded by daily negative messaging in our lives, we hold ourselves back by the fear that surrounds us, leaning into our hopes for a better future without taking the necessary steps to make those hopes a reality. Prisoners of Hope prepares us for the journey into ourselves as we shed layers of past negativity to grasp our dreams. Taking us through examples of the challenges in life, author Salvador S. Erazo teaches us how to listen to our inner callings and find the passion in our lives that drives us to become better versions of ourselves. Through goal setting, lessons learned, and ultimately taking that first step into a new beyond, Prisoners of Hope offers us a guiding hand as we consciously face our fears to welcome our new lives. Prisoners of Hope is his first book.
