The Author's Inspiration
When my curious and strong-willed daughter was three, she asked me if there was anything I wanted to do but hadn’t completed yet. I was surprised at how difficult the question was for me to answer, but not at the fact that she asked it. After some thought, I told her I always wanted to write a book.
She simply replied, “Why not just do it then? You can do it if you put your mind to it, right Dad?”
I was always telling her that a person can accomplish just about anything through passion and dedication. I wanted to instill in her that ambition, focus, and determination are the pathways to realizing her dreams. As a firm believer that true leadership means leading by example with conviction and sincerity, I knew I needed to write this book.
My hope is that it inspires you as it has done for me and my daughter.

How does the mind communicate with the brain?
Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body relaying information to each other through a complex electrochemical process, making connections that affect the way you think, learn, move, and behave.
It’s a selfless act to be selfish about mental illness. Our special community is just that, ‘special’ and it requires the respect, compassion and attention necessary to discover a more meaningful way of life. Inspiring others to seek therapy while encouraging yourself to become more involved. Regardless of how much help that can be achievable, if you’re a parent a relative or even a friend, too much is never enough even if you’re present. Sometimes the silence, can be extremely effective when they know that you’re nearby to help should they need it. Be proactive and connected but more importantly, be in the know, document and praise positive movement and acknowledge the conquering of milestones out loud.
Mental illness is an extended developmental process, the right nutrients and managed persistence can be incredibly rewarding.
