After writing my book and publishing it, I did not hear a lot of doubting anymore.
In many ways I felt as though some of my family members did not have confidence in their own ability to write a book, thus their perception of me included the following statements, "With all of the challenges you have in your life, you will not be able to write a book.
" Another interesting comment was, "You have never written a book before and you will not be able to do it.
" So I asked a few relatives and colleagues why they did not believe I could write a book and the majority of them simply stated, "I do not know.
" Had I listened to the naysayers likelihood is I would not have written my first book.
