Great summary!!
I love reading how people, such as yourself, have taken steps to change their lives for the better. Thanks for sharing with us, Jak.

Thanks Lyn, I know we've talked a bit over some of the stuff on self improvement in the past. I'm glad things are going awesome for ya.

Good read. Glad you found a way to improve your self-esteem and point of view. Seems to me you're quite a successful individual.

I would consider myself successful in general, but I never stop looking for room for improvement. The thing about difficulties in my life is I got to the point where I had two choices - be bitter and blame others, or dust myself off, learn something, and be better. We all get knocked down, the important thing is how you get up.

Thanks for the kind words.

Freakin' sweet! No wonder we get along so well, as I'm in much the same spot you were years before.
Thanks Imm.

I'm glad I could help ya in some small way, but always remember - it was you that chose to do the work and you that put in the hard work to get where you wanted to be.

Glad things have worked out for ya in a way you're enjoying bro.
