PREFACEWhy does adopting a positive attitude toward life seem impossible? There is a dark secret that tries to hold us back from all the good we so richly deserve.
We are born with the innate ability to overcome any human hardship whether it be social, emotional, mental, physical, or financial. The key has to be discovered on our own personal journey.
Year after year books are published promising happiness, joy, prosperity, love and health. They just don't tell us how to do it. Oh, yes, they tell us to think positive or forget about the past. They offer us chants and "powers" and even "secrets".
Here's the real secret: As long as your heart or mind or body remembers that negative incident from how ever long ago, your ability to change will not be at hand.
Unlike these other books, I will show you how to stop the negative so you can truly gather the positive.
My name is Gary Eby. I'm 58-years-old; I've been a social worker for 37 years. Most of you think you know what a social worker does. My approach has been different.
This is what you don't know about me as a social worker: I work with all these people unfairly labeled as the dregs of society, the losers. I've worked with them for decades. And you know what? Many of them have found a way to unlock their dark secrets for recovery and healing, thus becoming true champions.
You'll hear more about that later. But for now, just begin to think there is a way beyond the pain and into a new life, no matter how far down you've fallen.
