What Qualifies Me?

If you’re wondering what qualifies me to author books and found a business of this nature, the answer is simple. I made it a point, several years back, to value the lessons my defeats and failures offer, I now offer these lessons to you.

If you’ve looked at your failures with your naturally curious mind and ambitious spirit, and taken time to write down what you’ve learned, then you too are qualified for such endeavors.

I am offering you a clear look at the struggle between power and doubt in your mind. My purpose is to help you distinguish between the empowering truth and the misguided opinions that make you doubt yourself. When I learned to separate the two, I was able to make choices and decisions with knowledge that was accurate and right for me. I learned to live authentically.

It is my passion to show you how to access truths that will make you eager to set greater challenges and discover your unlimited side. Invariably, I find that when I make decisions and choices from truth, I am able to avail myself of subtle powers of the mind that give me new means of achieving my dreams.

Some Personal History

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in a small mill town. My early life was influenced by a culture peppered with pessimism and resignation, not uncommon to working class mill towns at the time. It was expected that children would graduate from high school and go to work at one of the two companies that operated mills in the town.

During my preteen years, my confidence could be shaken by even the smallest mistakes. I devoted my efforts to generating excuses for why life was tough and failure inevitable. My disgruntled mind scoffed at the idea of a beautiful and rich world.

When I was thirteen, something happened that helped me see how limitations my point of view imposed on me. My mother bought me a book that helped me to see things differently. The book was, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. After reading this book, I began to understand that if I had a worthy objective, and if I released my mind fully into the objective, a power would well up from deep inside and carry me to victory. I certainly couldn’t say it this elegantly, but I could feel it!

I read the book a second and third time, and began developing an irrepressible hunger for correct thinking from that time forward. I’d never before heard anything like what Dale Carnegie wrote. I began to consider, in a new light, the conversations I’d have with my friends. I could see that we spent a lot of time nourishing disgruntled attitudes. I had learned from Carnegie that the one thing I was going to live with for my entire life, was my attitude, and if my attitude discouraged me, my future would be as grim as my point of view.

Despite my new understanding, I would still fall back on old patterns of thinking. However, gradually I began getting sick and tired of being sick and tired of my life. I wasn’t sure what to do but I knew it was a waste of time to cherish my beloved complaints about the world. It was difficult to accept this fact, but when I did, the energy I used to blame the world was now available to advance my life.

To be ignorant of one’s ignorance gives power to the ignorance; to be aware of one’s ignorance gives one the strength to end the ignorance. It’s easy for me to say this with the benefit of hindsight. Hindsight helps us see what our past was really like. By age fifteen, I began consciously slowing the pace of my reactions when with friends. This gave me the opportunity to see circumstances differently.

I can tell you now that a consciousness of success didn’t come easy for me. I had to learn to be inspired by my own thinking, not influenced by what my friends had to say. What I eventually learned was that help is always available for the person who is willing to help himself.

During my junior year in high school, I felt a strong urge to put my youthful past at stake and break through to something new. I define my life in epochs, and my first great epoch started when I took control of my life and decided to further my education beyond high school. I began working to save money to go to college and I became the first member of my family to leave home and attend college.

After working my way through college, I was tempted to play it safe and return to my hometown and begin my life as a school teacher. However, I also felt passionate about making my own footprints in new territory. I followed this passion and embarked on a new epoch once again.

I moved to a big city by myself, with just sixty dollars in my pocket. I had no job prospects and no contacts in the city. In fact, I’d never been to a city before! After several months of working part time in a grocery store, I secured a teaching position in the public school system, and eventually took on additional responsibilities as the Career Education Coordinator.

It was in this role as teacher and Career Ed Coordinator that I discovered how rarely we use our minds in new ways even though we hope to make a better life for ourselves. So many students would tell me of their dreams to break through to a new life, but so few were willing to think in unusual ways. Most would fall back on old thought habits and settle for less.

After seventeen years of teaching, I realized that I too had settled for less that what I’d imagined my life would be about. I’d helped many students discover their hidden potential, but felt somehow I was not realizing my own. During February break, I decided it was time for a new epoch in my life.

In spite of emphatic calls ‘to be reasonable’ from family, friends and colleagues, I gave my notice that this would be my last year teaching. I gave up my tenured position, great health plan and retirement fund to break into the real estate field with a goal of building a million dollar business.

This new epoch was an exciting new beginning for me. New beginning are available whenever we muster the courage to break free from an old paradigm to reach for something of greater value to us. It means we prefer growth to stagnation. Can you think of anything more inspiring?

Over the next decade, I built a real estate development business with projects on the East and West Coast. I even got involved in developing restaurants and was successful with that endeavor. It didn’t come easy, but I’d mastered the art of believing in myself even in tough times, and this I pass on to you.

If you are willing to look at mental boundaries that limit your life, and if you are willing to bear the confusion of not having all the answers, you will find answers in this book. Your opportunity to see the difference between the inspiring truth and misleading opinions is here, right now; go after it right now. Keep reading.

I consider this my greatest epoch yet, sharing freely the knowledge I’ve gathered from my personal life-lessons. When we share, we plant opportunities for those with which we share as well as for ourselves. This is an act of true human consideration. Everyone wins. It’s the Golden Rule, the Law of Reciprocity in action. Nothing is more beautiful than this.

The fact that you are still reading indicates that you are ready to dismiss any attitude that stops you from living a richer life. I am offering you a way out, and remember – this is coming from a person who, at one time, was fiercely eager to argue in favor of the proposition that ‘Life is tough, and the best you can do is cope’.

It’s an amazing world. We make the world what it is, and then we either complain about it or rejoice in it. If you’re ready to make a world that has you rejoicing, prepare yourself to meet an extraordinary part of you – the part which is free of your doubts and fears.
 
 

Mind Adventure Mission

 
The purpose of Mind Adventure is to awaken as many people as possible to the truth about their unlimited potential, and to give them the necessary tools to utilize that potential in their lives. We want to help you think the unthinkable; we want to show you how to realize your ideals so you experience them as real.

  

Mind Adventure Philosophy

 
All thoughts that you hold in mind have consequences in your life. Sometimes those consequences are permanent and sometimes they are fleeting. If you do not like the future a thought is offering you, you have the prerogative to replace it with something new. There is no thought that has the power to persist over your ‘will’ to replace it.

If you intend to master your earthly destiny, then you must take responsibility for how your future unfolds for you. To the degree that you do not hold yourself responsible, you take on the role of a helpless victim, which is a false psychological condition.

You took on physical form to experience yourself as a triumphant victor, anything less than that is self-created torment. You are living a myth when you consider yourself a vanquished victim, wailing out ‘poor me’ ; it is the cause of all of your misery.

Nothing inspires you more than ‘Feeeeeling’ the truth behind the kingly decree: “If it is to be, it is up to me.” This feeling gives you the inner liberty you need to express yourself outwardly as you want to be
