“This important rule in terms of managing adversity bears repeating: Positive thinking is imperative!
Al Weatherhead
Illness Exercise Adversity Diet Alcoholism
“Surgery and drugs are often essential when one is experiencing the heart attack, but they do nothing to resolve the underlying cause.” “It’s the “runner’s high” release of chemicals in the brain that brings such bliss, but that can only be earned by enduring the physical exertion.” “When it comes to adversity there is no such thing as greener pastures.” “Meanwhile, I was eating like a horse, except horses don’t indulge in a steady diet of the richest, most fat-laden foods imaginable.” “It takes real willpower to quit this, or any bad habit, (boy, does it ever!), but it can be done.”
Al Weatherhead truly believes that “tough times can make you stronger, wiser and better.” Having faced serious arthritis, heart disease, family estrangements and a battle with alcohol, he knows and understands adversity. He also has been able to leverage that adversity into both personal and professional success. This enlightening and inspiring book offers lessons on taking the worst of life and turning it into the best of life. Even the most serious problems can become life transitions to better and more productive times. This is Al Weatherhead’s story of changing adversity from an enemy to an ally, and instead of asking “Why me?” ask “Why not me?”
“The blessing of our adversity is that it can be the catalyst for changing our patterns of communication, transforming us for the better in profound ways.”
