Growing up I Felt like a Failure.​..

​

Despite having supportive parents and a blessed up-bringing, as a kid I struggled with negative thinking, self-esteem issues and to find my place in the world.  However, over times things got better slowly, and the things got better fast, I started thriving in my studies and made new friends, friends that I thought I'd never have.​ 

​

Then disaster struck.​

 

I suffered a freak accident, where I fell two stories and nearly lost my foot. The next morning awaiting surgery I finally had a chance to reflect on the past few years and thought deeply for perhaps the first time about how my life had changed for the better.  What specific actions had I implemented that changed my negative mindset to an overwhelmingly positive one? How had I changed from the young man who felt isolated, socially awkward and like he was never good enough to becoming a confident, charismatic, outgoing individual that people wanted to be around? Why did I no longer feel like a failure?​

 

This is how my journey to writing 100 Ways to Live a More Positive & Beneficial Life began.

 

With the understanding my life had forever been changed I made a decision in that moment that rather than letting a horrible situation consume me like my younger self would have, I put my heart and soul into writing as I wanted to share the life lessons and simple actions I’ve taken that have made all the difference in an attempt to lift up others who are also struggling and help my fellow brothers and sisters.

 

​As a young man, I don't claim to have all the answers and that's why 100 Ways to Live a More Positive & Beneficial Life wasn’t structured as a precise, must-follow guide. Instead the book offers a wide variety of unique perspectives on how to address common challenges and provides solution-oriented actions the reader can consider utilizing in pursuit of a more fulfilled, and meaningful life.
