VERITASThe seven truths of VERITAS are universal and applicable in every walk of life regardless if you are a teenager, in your 70s, an aspiring professional athlete, a scientist, or a teacher. This fable intends to show that finding your purpose in life and living a fulfilling life is for everyone.

VERITAS is a story about a father sharing seven truths with his son so that the son can pursue his dream of being a professional athlete.

I chose to write this story about a father and son because I always dreamed of having a son and sharing the sort of life lessons that Tobias shares with AJ.

May this fable be the catalyst that helps you start your journey toward finding your purpose, and equips and empowers you to live a purposeful life.Praise for VERITAS

"Ali's life journeys are beautifully shared in a masterful encapsulation of the wisdom he has gained and wants to share with everyone. A meaningful and easy read, applicable for all ages. The only reason it took me more than an hour to read is that I constantly found myself reflecting upon and memorizing lessons that I want to apply in my daily life while inspiring others to do the same."

"Ali has put together a group of 7 principles that have the power to change team culture. Through the course of our meetings, I saw our team grow to be more intentional on the field and in relationships with each other. We were challenged to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves, and each other, and we have learned skills to help us continue to do so. I am grateful for this program and its impact on our team."
