Chasing Destiny

Reclaiming The Life They Stole

You know the voices. The ones that whisper you're not enough. That your past disqualifies you. That everyone else got what should have been yours. That you're too broken, too damaged, too far gone to ever be whole again. Those voices have names: Guilt. Envy. Greed. Selfishness. Rejection. And they've stolen more than your peace. They've stolen your present, chained you to your past, and held your future hostage. They've convinced you that survival is the best you can hope for—that freedom is for other people—and that the life you were meant to live is forever out of reach. But what if everything you've been told is a lie? Chasing Demons is a transformational spiritual memoir that invites you into the sacred work of confronting the internal forces that hold you captive. This isn't a quick-fix self-help manual promising five easy steps to freedom. This is witness work—an authentic journey through the trenches of internal warfare, guided by someone who has walked this path and emerged with hard-won wisdom. Drawing from personal experience, the stories of others, and deep spiritual insight, this book creates permission space for you to stop running from your demons and start naming them. Through immersive storytelling and relational authority, it explores how inherited patterns, past trauma, and present-day struggles work together to keep us imprisoned—but more importantly, it reveals how awareness, self-love, and purposeful action can break those chains. You'll learn to recognize guilt's greatest lie, dismantle the mythology of "if only," reclaim the present moment that demons steal in real-time, and rewrite the narrative that has defined you for too long. You'll discover the difference between living in captivity and walking in liberty—between chasing demons and chasing destiny. For anyone who has ever felt hunted by their past, poisoned by comparison, or imprisoned by their own patterns, this is your invitation to stop being the prey and start being the hunter. To call your demons by name and take back the life they stole. Because they have names. And now, so will your freedom.

Author

Dr. James Michael Williams, known as Dr. Jay, is a transformational voice in the self-help space, blending nearly two decades of leadership experience in higher education with a passionate commitment to helping others break free from the limitations that hold them back. As a doctorate-holding executive, published author, and sought-after consultant, he brings a rare combination of analytical rigor and soulful wisdom to the art of personal development. His previous works, The What If Factor: Living Beyond The Question Mark and 7 Days of Grace: A Devotional On Grace, established him as a writer unafraid to explore the intersection of faith, fear, and forward movement. With Chasing Demons, Dr. Jay delivers his most powerful work yet—a raw and redemptive exploration of the internal battles we all face and the untapped strength waiting on the other side of confrontation. By day, Dr. Jay serves as an executive leader in higher education administration, where he has dedicated his career to student success and institutional transformation. His work supporting over 21,000 students has given him a front-row seat to human potential—and the obstacles that often stand in its way. This real-world experience informs every page of his writing, grounding his insights in the lived realities of people striving to become more. Beyond the boardroom and the page, Dr. Jay extends his message through "Moments with DrJay," a series of motivational videos designed to spark reflection and inspire action across social media platforms. His philosophy of "Equity, Enablement, and Excellence" isn't just professional rhetoric—it's a personal mandate that shapes how he leads, writes, and lives. A proud alumnus of Bethune-Cookman University, Dr. Jay carries forward a three-generation family legacy of education and service. He is a devoted mentor who believes deeply that our greatest battles are often fought within—and that victory begins the moment we stop running and start chasing. Chasing Demons is his invitation to readers everywhere: face what haunts you, reclaim what's yours, and finally step into your power.
