Why is it that some people always seem to land on their feet, while others fall down crippled under the weight of life's obstacles? Why do you think one average person experiences great success in life, while another average person doesn't? In almost all cases both individuals started out with similar capabilities, talent, and resources. So what is the difference? I believe those who succeed expect nothing less than success; they approach problems as opportunities, they have high expectations, and they triumph  They are driven by a can-do attitude. They begin every challenge they face with the belief they will succeed in the end. In this inspirational book, Michael Bergdahl will explain how he and his wife Sheryl overcame adversity and achieved their goals in life; he'll explain how they did it and how others can do it too.
