Open your mind to a world full of possibility. Whether you grew up in poverty, with no sign of hope surrounding your existence, or you belong to a privileged family that had your future carved out since before you were born, learn how doors are always ready and waiting to be opened by those who look around and notice opportunities.
Through daily activities and mind-sets, we either feed our mind nutrients to help our lives thrive or we allow harmful, inhibiting thoughts and habits to prevent our personal growth and success.
While everyone must go through struggles of some sort or another, what you take from where you've been will determine where you will ultimately go.
It's time to nourish your perceptions. By taking initiative, shifting your perspective, and soaking up knowledge and positivity, you can take charge of your future by encouraging and stimulating your mind in the present.
About the Author: Taking the life lessons he learned from his own struggles and successes, author J. Barbier uses his experiences as examples of how much you can shape your own life.
A former US Marine, Barbier grew up in Haiti before moving to the United States. After being deployed to Iraq, going through a painful divorce, serving time in prison, and being discharged from the military, he often felt as though the world were against him.
Eventually, Barbier realized he was physically strong but mentally weak. His next journey would take all the mistakes and failures of his past and reshape them into a positive force that helped him obtain a degree of knowledge and happiness he'd never dreamed possible.
