Chapter 1
Perception and reality are two separate things

Lessons learnt for Life
Your perception of me is a reflection of you; My reaction to you is an awareness of me

You learn what you Live
You get what you tolerate

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
Chapter 8

Thoughts have consequences!
Difficult paths often lead to beautiful destinations

Chapter 11
Change is painful, But nothing is more painful than staying somewhere. you do not belong!
Never give up because great things take time
Chapter 12
Chapter 13
Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution
If you are not helping to make it right, then stop complaining about it being wrong
Chapter 14
I dare you to go after the life you have dreamed of. And I challenge you to be brave … Understand that Fear is just a reaction. Where Courage is a decision
What comes easy doesn't always last, and what will last won't always come easy
There is always a rainbow after a storm
REMEMBER - LIFE HAPPENS FOR US … NOT TO US And everything we experience teaches us something
Chapter 15. That which consumes your mind, controls your life!
Strength isn't about how much you can handle before you break. It's about how much you can endure after you have been broken
Never stop learning because Life never stops teaching
Chapter 16. Not all storms come into your life to disrupt it, some come to clear you a better path!
Unsolicited advice is usually more about the. needs of the giver, than the receiver!
Chapter 17
Don't be afraid of losing people, be afraid of losing yourself trying to please everyone around you!
It's easy to believe someone when they are telling you exactly what you want to hear!
Chapter 18
Chapter 19
You get what you tolerate, And … what you allow will continue
A belief is just a belief and not necessarily a truth!
Chapter 20
Chapter 21
Chapter 22. If life only gives us what we can handle, then I must be a bad-ass!
I have an allergic reaction to complainers, I instantly run away from them!
Chapter 23
What you allow continues
Chapter 24
Chapter 25. Emotions are whatever YOU choose to feel, never let anyone else decide that for you!
Chapter 26. I am not beautiful like you, I am beautiful like me!
Stop letting it bother you and let it go. Your mind can only take so much
Train your mind to be stronger than your emotions, or you will lose yourself every time
Chapter 27
You can adapt to cope, or you can adapt to win, it is always a choice
Chapter 28. Money does not change people, it reveals who they really are!
Chapter 29
Chapter 30
We either WIN … or we LEARN
6+3 = 9 but then so does 5+4. The way you do things isn't the only way to do them. Respect other people's way of thinking
Chapter 31
Positive thoughts + Positive feelings = Complete Success. Positive thoughts + Negative feelings = Limited success. Negative thoughts + Negative Feelings = Nothing but unhappiness
Believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable
Chapter 32
Chapter 33
Fear is just a state of mind

Remember. There Is No Failure, Only Feedback. So ... Dream - Believe - Act - Repeat
Thoughts have consequences!
Chapter 42
‘IN THE END WE ONLY REGRET THE CHANCES WE DIDNT TAKE’
Winners are not people who never fail, they are people who never quit!
On my office wall I have this: Be your own kind of beautiful x

My purpose for writing this book
Life begins when you start living your life. without the need for others approval
Отрывок из книги
I want to thank in particular Geno Scala for reading my book, for writing such a wonderful foreword and for taking my story on to adapt into a screenplay, and in doing so having to suffer my pedantics with respect to details, I am grateful to you.
I also want to thank Hannah Smith and Sallyanne Gooley who read my book several times each and gave me some fabulous feedback. Thank you both for the time you put in and the wonderful words of wisdom, I very much appreciate you both. A massive thank you to Shoma Mitre who inspired me to tell my story, suffered through my first edit and created the wonderful cover for this book, I am very grateful to you for having so much faith in me Shoma.

Having worked in law enforcement, and familiar with jails and prisons, I met many people with a similar background and family history. It’s sad, it’s repugnant, and it’s unfortunate to put it mildly. You immediately realize why these people are in the position that they are in; incarcerated for an extended period of time. I once took an eight-year old boy in custody one night, for throwing a glass bottle filled with soda pop, at someone, hitting them in the head. The victim was severely injured, and we actually thought it could turn into a homicide. As I spoke to this child- who was a very cute African-American boy, he shared with me some parts of his “life” which, to him, was quite normal. That’s when he lifted his shirt and showed the three scars in his chest from bullet wounds he received when his father shot him during a fight with his mother. I sat there and cried, knowing this boy’s life was over and it hadn’t even started. I was aware of his life being more of the norm in the area where I worked, but I didn’t know anyone who came out of that life unscathed.
Now, I know one.
