A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR




Life setbacks, hurts, disappointments, and unpredicted negative changes can cause one to be blinded by the bigger picture and focus on the irritants, hiccups, and bumps in the road that can cause stagnation, stand-stills, or simply put lack of motion in an individual's life. When those waves come, you may ask yourself: How do I push my life forward and become what I can see in others but not always within myself? Do I ride the wave until it settles, or do I swim on top of the wave until I get to the other side? Can I take hold of my destiny and make life what success is to me? Or, do I allow a glimpse of a faded picture to cross my mind every now and then of how things could have been? I know they say change is good, and sometimes you have to fight to get what you want. But, how do I not let fear have the position on my stage and take the major role? How do I get my fight back? What inventory of myself do I need to make to identify what life lessons I learned along the way that I may have forgotten? I want to encourage each reader to fight for themselves and never give up on you. Dismantle the picture you see if you don't like it and make a decision as well as a commitment to yourself that you will win.
