We recently connected with Kristina Stangl and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kristina, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
Finding your true purpose in life is discovered through trials and errors. It’s about taking risks, making lots of mistakes along the way and then, reflecting upon these past mistakes and most importantly, learning from them. The world is one large canvas designed for experiments and in order to know your likes and dislikes, you’ve first got to test things out for yourself.
As for myself, it took me some time to learn my true purpose in life, which is writing. Authoring books wasn’t something that originally came natural for me. Instead, it took lots of trials and errors to get to where I am today.
From attending university to working years in the public and private sectors, I eventually stumbled upon my career as an author through my love of books, imagination and the desire to share the stories that lives within my head with my readers. Writing was always a pastime hobby for me, but it finally took on a real shape after the pandemic. At the time, I was changing careers and decided to give writing a try and never looked back.
In the end, I discovered my true purpose by taking a bold risk. By learning to experiment with new career paths and to not be too fearful about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and walking into unknown territory, you might be surprised to discover that the things you never thought possible might really be your true purpose, after all.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Hello Readers!
My name is Kristina Stangl and I’m an author who specializes in fiction romance, fantasy, romantasy, science fiction, thrillers, mysteries and drama. I write in a variety of genres and currently have three book series that’s now available for purchase on Amazon.
As an avid book reader myself, I’ve always loved romances, fantasies, dramas, epic journeys and especially, fairy tales with a happily ever after. And so, in honor of my admiration for these classical genres, all of my novels are written with a satisfying happily ever after ending.
Therefore, if you’re a fan of romances and fantasies, then please check out my series: The Enchanted Forest Saga and Silverheart.
And if you’re a fan of dramas, romances, thrillers, mysteries, suspenses and soap-opera-like tales, then please check out my series: Sex, Lies & Politics.
Lastly, all of my novels are available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
I believe that the three most important qualities for success are hard work, dedication and perseverance. In every working field, it takes these three essential qualities to succeed. Everything that you do, whether it be a student attending college, a nurse working at a hospital or an entrepreneur starting a new business, everything in life takes hard work. And part of that hard work includes taking bold risks, and keeping an open mind that not everything will go according to plan and that’s perfectly okay. In the end, it’s alright to make mistakes and to most importantly, try again. That’s why dedication is the second skill needed to succeed.
Through dedication, you can overcome any obstacle. When starting a new project or a business, there will always be a learning curve, that’s why it’s important to stay focus and learn. Dedicating oneself to their craft means that they are determined to better themselves and grow. And it is through this persevering spirit, that dreams are made and goals come into fruition.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
As an author, I would have to credit the unconditional love and support from my family and friends, the countless books that I’ve read throughout the years and my own life experiences that brought me to where I am today.
Through the support of my family and friends, I’ve been able to pursue my dreams of becoming an author. Thanks to their ongoing moral support and feedback along my writing journey, I’ve been able to pen several novels these past few years.
And to all of the great writers of the past, I’ve been inspired by their legendary journeys as I learned to develop my own skills.
Lastly, to all of my past working and educational experiences, I learned that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be.
