About

People have always said a lot about me, ever since I was born. My problem was that I believed ALL of them. The fact that only some were true didn’t dawn on me until much later in life. If someone said something good about me – I felt good. If someone said something terrible about me – I felt terrible. Compounding all of this was my own ability to generate negative thoughts from what I had seen or read or heard. I was a mess.

I went off to college figuring that I would get away from myself, but I took myself with me. One very dark night I decided to end my life because I thought of myself as a failure. Having convinced myself that I was a failure, I, of course, failed at taking my life. After a couple of days in the hospital it suddenly hit me like a thunderclap – whatever I thought about governed my life. I was successfully creating from my thoughts. It just wasn’t what I wanted. What a revelation! I wanted to shout it to the world, yell it from the rooftops. Then I found out that some very wise people have been shouting this for millenniums. I embarked on a quest to learn as much as I could and to help as many people as I could. I threw myself into the study of theology and philosophy and psychology and meditation. I continued to make mistakes (more than my share!) but I was slowly learning that my thoughts created my happiness or lack thereof.

I’ve been an altar boy and a rogue, a hippie and a U.S. Marine, a meditation teacher and a nightclub manager, a pompous ass and a humble fool, an eager husband twice and a grateful father five times and all the while I was growing and learning and trying to help others. It might not have always looked it, but I have been very blessed and fortunate – due in no small part to all of the mistakes I have made. I have been able to help a great many people. And I can help you.
