People ask me how I got started treating addiction…

It’s a long story and I won’t tell it here.

Instead, I’ll tell you about a friend of mine that was homeless, living in her car, addicted to heroin, and trying to figure out how to care for her new baby.

Maybe you think I’m going to tell you how I helped her. But that’s not the story at all. In fact, it wasn’t until she went into rehab for a few months that she got clean. I’d like to think I helped her stay alive long enough for that to happen, but I’m not the hero of this story. She is.

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Bruce Lee…

To Hell with circumstances, I create opportunities

You see, she realized that the present moment is the only chance she has at creating a future. She stopped wasting her life wishing for a time machine and started taking action.

The longer I’m in this world, the more I realize: I’m not teaching them, they’re teaching me.

There’s a lot we could learn from heroin addicts and karate junkies…

Own your world.

P.S.

I’m not saying that reading my book will make you as cool as Bruce Lee…

But I’m not not saying it either
