In the face of my own life’s challenges, I was tired of being stuck in place.  I discovered the information I was looking for and learned how to break free from my self-imposed limitations.  I was able to re-wire my mind and overcome the negative self-talk that had been playing in my head for so many years.  With a lot of study, consistency, willpower, and determination, I was able to turn my greatest challenges into my greatest rewards.  I learned a lot about myself and my own capabilities.  More importantly, I learned that even though we cannot control what happens to us, we can always control the way we respond.  We always have a choice to get back up when we get knocked down; to keep moving forward even if we don’t feel like it, or if it’s hard.
