Choose to live through your hurricanes of life.

The sum of your challenges, hardships, and obstacles can become your strength. - Brian Michael Good

May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use the gifts that you have receive and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
Saint Therese, Prayer for inner peace.

You will not to be held captive by fear, anxiety or depression.

Read about my hurricanes and how I survived when death was at my door 9 times.

There are so many more happy times ahead of you. With this story, I want to reach out to you. I want you to know that you are not alone in your experience. Where to get more information and support can be critical, because your feelings and questions will not go away quickly. There are those who want to help and support you. I care about you. There are many people who care. You are not alone and you are not forgotten. I suggest that if put into action what I have written and stay this new attitude about how you live and view your life; you will have more happy moments than ever before in your lifetime.

Today, I will stay in the eye of my hurricane where I am safe from the storm around me. I will deal with my hurricanes and struggles in life with no blame or excuses. – Brian Good

I have faced death at least 9 times including a 6 lb cancer growth that was doubling every 2 months, the doctors could not operate; Death was at my door and I had 6 months to live. I almost drowned going under water at least three times. Two car accidents that should have happened. Four parachute malfunctions while skydiving and Death was at my door within seconds. All these events took place before my coma for 2.5 days starting on October 23, 2003 when death was at my door the last time; resulting in rehab for 3 months for foot drop and nerve damage in both feet. I wore braces on both legs and walked with a cane when I left the hospital on January 28, 2004; homeless for the next 8 months. The winter of 2004 was the coldest in 100 years in New England.

I did not realize how much I had before my hurricanes occurred but each time after I survived the storm.

I wanted to live.

The sum of your challenges, hardships, and obstacles can become your strength. - Brian Good

A choice... Be a survivor

After filing for bankruptcy in July of 2004; I moved into my apartment on September 23, 2004; 11 months after my wife filed for divorce on October 20, 2003 which was granted in May, 25 2005. This will always be a date I can keep in a positive frame of mind since my divorce happen on my brother Jerry's birthday. My former wife and I still saw each other as friends until I moved to Florida in October 2007. Since then we have spoken for 2 hours at length once every 6 months to a year. All is forgiven and we are friends.

I believe that God gives you free will to make your life what you imagine, "what ever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve." - (paraphrased W. Clement Stone's quote) God gives you free will; then it is up to you to do everything to empower yourself to achieve it. It is a choice. In April 2005, I restarted Nutricare Plus, Antioxidant Skin Oils; rebuilt the NCP website from one to 77 url pages. Since my coma, homelessness and bankruptcy I started 3 companies from May of 2007 to July 2008.

I was accepted for 4 credit cards in 2006 and 2007 just 2 years after my bankruptcy. In fact I decided in November 2009 to consolidate the $8,200.00 debt of 3 of my 4 credit cards into one loan in which I am repaying my entire debt. The interest is now between a 7.5% to 10% interest rate instead of up to 28% interest that I was paying even though I was never late on my credit cards. I lowered my credit card debt by over 25 % in 8 months. I am in control, my FICO average was 638 as of July 2010. My credit card debt will be paid off in 3 years.

I could have done a balance transfer from one credit card to another because my FICO score was over 600 but they did not offer me this choice. A balance transfer is best, a consolidation loan hurts FICO score more, debt settlements lowers your score even more and bankruptcy hits your credit report and FICO score the most.

In November 2008, I decided to focus mainly on one company, Balance of Nature. It is better to take one company over the goal line than lose the game. It worked. I hope and expect to become more successful.

For the first time in 25 years, I started exercising for 4 months during the summer of 2009 and since May of 2010. I will run and finish my first marathon in Pensacola, Florida on November 14, 2010.

Forget about whom you were; accept who you are, and who you can be. - Brian Good

You must be the person you want to become before you even become that person. You begin to believe your success is just around corner. People start to perceive you to be more successful and you are that person before you become that person. Live it in the present, in the now and it will happen.

If I can make it happen even with my category 5 hurricanes, and not evacuating like I was advised. If I can get up and physically, mentally and emotional become more functional and then take the ball over the goal line. Then why can't you do it.

Happiness is finding peace in our lives. Peace is for those who seek it. Forgiveness removes fear. Forgiving others who have hurt you will help you heal. How you view your life will help you to survive. Say these words and be healed. The past is forgiven. You have the key; just unlock the chain. The past is forgiven. You are free. You no longer need to feel the bitterness towards your parents, friends or family since you allowed that pain to be inflicted onto you because you chose to accept the hurt. Only you can choose to heal yourself by working on your pain, hang ups and hurts by forgiving the people that you think affected your life in a negative way. You have the key, just unlock your chain. It is the only way to be free and find peace.

Remove all your fears, solve your problems, I now grow stronger each day without fear. - Brian Good

Time heals all wounds. -unknown author

I used to blame my father and mother and people I knew for every hurt, but now; having forgiven them for everything, I blame no one but myself allowing me to be hurt.

I decided several years ago to break the cycle from one generation to the next. I completed 50% of an abuse course in 2002 ( It was my choice, it wasn't court ordered ). In 2005 I passed an anger management course. These self help programs helped me to become more human. I have been divorced for over 5 years and I am finally comfortable and happy being alone. Time is quick; it catches up to all of us. I will live my life over again. I am ready to make new friendships, a family, and children. Life has become a real slice of heaven these days so it time to take one slice of heaven at a time by creating new memories.

Don't surround yourself with people, who don't have expectations, you will not grow... -Carmen Alvarez Disibio

Take small steps, one at a time; creating a new life from what is left of how you chose to live before. What you do differently each day will help you go from the old to the new you. Take a minute… Ask yourself what will make you happy? For most people it takes a dramatic chain of events to unfold and it seems to happen all at once yet it happens over many months. We need to go through change in order for us to walk the right path. Choose to begin to change one day at a time; tiny steps where you position yourself in a steady motion of happiness and tranquility instead of allowing yourself to be hashed around beyond your control.

So you may think! You have free will. It is your choice. Before you react to any situation. Before you respond. Think of these mottos.

Right, Reaction, Readiness. - Brian Good

Put your brain into gear before you put your mouth into motion. -unknown

I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. -William Ernest Henley

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. -Marianne Williamson

Since 2008, I have been writing a wellness book about what I learned from my personal life experiences, so you can create a passion that will give you a healthy attitude, hope, and peace in your life. Being able to deal with life's sudden changes has made me a survivor which defines my human spirit and soul. What are most important are your beliefs since they have everything to do with how you live. Learn from my experience so you can have peace in your life.

It is possible to be helpful for a lifetime without ever being a servant. You must have a giver’s heart. Instead of being part of the me generation, might it be better to do something for the benefit of humanity. We should be remembered for the passion we had for our life's work and not for our material gain.

How can an awakening do us harm unless you have not awoken. –Brian Good

Live well...choose to live well... most of all... Impact someone's life.
