This is an uplifting memoir from a leading motivational speaker and disability advocate whose story can inspire us to dream\, achieve\, and succeed. \nHave you wondered why dreams seem to be running away from you and into the arms of someone else? When an illness\, injury\, disability\, divorce\, or other traumatic experience forces us to re-evaluate our future as we walk an uncertain path\, we often find ourselves asking\, “Why me?” How do we overcome the darkness and feelings of fear\, doubt\, and anxiety? \nEach chapter focuses on a principle of self-improvement\, such as self-love\, a positive attitude\, support group\, self-esteem\, perseverance\, resilience\, and empathy\, which he embeds in captivating anecdotes. For instance\, the chapter on positive attitude recalls moments of optimism and laughter that have helped him reject the effects of his disabilities by developing complete confidence in his abilities. Though written from a first-person point-of-view\, he switches to the second-person narrative near the end of each chapter to offer readers strategies to adopt that same guiding principle into their lives. \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nPaul Wichansky has cerebral palsy and a hearing loss. Conquering these challenges to lead a confident\, productive life\, he shows\, by example\, how we can transform obstacles into opportunities for growth. His disabilities have not only inspired him to rise above tremendous adversity\, but also achieve beyond what others believed he could do. \nA master storyteller who shares anecdotes that combine character\, optimism\, and heart\, he shows his readers\, by example\, how to face adversity and become Heroes. Only then can we also become the epic version of ourselves. \nLet this book be a worthy addition to your home library. For shining your light is spreading your love. \n [/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FwJKSKi4tg5n1BLmw5|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
