In writing this book at 79, I ask myself, what are some lessons I’ve learned that could have made my life easier? The predominant thought would have been the knowledge that almost everyone felt the same sense of inadequacy as I did. To question our capability when contrasted against others is normal. I like the quote from Einstein: “Everybody’s a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Whether you are in your youth when it seems life goes on forever, or if you have decades of scars and successes, failings, or fortune–every story is written to give you more direct access to the path toward happiness by applying an altered perspective of your reality. Each story shines a light on a different facet of why no one should see themselves as inferior. Everyone fails. All of us do stupid things, and a majority of these tales are about my mistaken moments. Some are embarrassing, and that’s OK. This book is the medicine that can cure the wildly destructive belief, “I’m not smart enough to try.”
