A series of short stories about wrong turns, dead ends, breakdowns, and the course corrections taken, thereafter. No matter where you are today, you are merely a course correction away from where you want to be.
Life is a long process of dealing with everything, oneself, other people, one's circumstances, one's health, one's mental agility or lack thereof. It's a beautifully arduous process and my hope is that you the reader find your voice and your own influence in the following short stories. In the proceeding chapters, I will share some of my most embarrassing and challenging moments in life to date. Most of the stories and memories represent ordinary and mundane experiences in my life. Spoiler alert, there are no NASA missions to space, no Olympic trials of my past, and definitely no Harvard degrees (if those are important to you), but you will hear about my challenges addressing confidence, stress, leadership, friendship, family, faith, death and pride, to name a few. When I look back on my life thus far, these moments delineate an unmistakable breadcrumb trail underscoring why I am the person I am. Just like you, I am on my own quest to discover who I am and why I am here, constantly changing course to make sure I am on the right path. Constantly thinking of good questions to challenge myself with, so that I remain in charge of my being, and not someone else.
However, this book is NOT about me. This book is about YOU. Read this book like you are reading about yourself and immerse yourself in the stories. Read this book while contemplating your own version of questions along the way. Was the narrator acting authentically, why did the narrator make that decision, what would I have done in place of the narrator's action? Feel free to read this book chapter by chapter or skip around to the lessons and stories you find most relevant. However you read it, find your own voice and life in it. Find who you are being in the story.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
