I was a Division I athlete in name only. I had elite speed and athleticism but never became elite. I was limited by disappointment and failure became my identity. I lacked the psychological aptitude that makes college athletes successful on and off the field. After years of disappointments and seeing how people's success led to the next success I feared that the first success was nothing but luck.
But then something happened. I changed the way I thought. I faced my fears by developing new disciplines. And today, I’m helping others create vision and act on their goals.

This short book is written to my younger self, who for years struggled to find joy in this life. I wanted to tell him what I have learned from my education and from life experiences. Things that might help him find the joy in the journey. I wanted to tell him that pain and struggle are a part of the abundant life. I wanted him to know before it got too late for him. But it is too late for him. So, I write this for myself and anyone still seeking a dream when everything and everyone around them is telling them it's over.
