Is the Lie You Are Telling Other People, the Lie You Believe?

One day, Troy Karnes drank too much and missed his wife’s birthday dinner (that he had planned). To show her he could change, he put $10k into their joint bank account and told her he wanted to use it for a dream vacation a year later. If he messed up, she could take it.

He didn’t last a month.

She kicked him out of the house that afternoon.

When he woke up in a hotel the next day, he watched the sunrise and had no idea where he had slept the night before, where he would be a week from then, or which company he might work for. He worked in the alcohol business his entire career but knew something had to change.

It was a pretty hopeless moment.

Troy is a father, husband, recovering alcoholic, and salesman—a cancer survivor, business consultant, and writer. His story of recovery has helped thousands and can guide each of us in making the decisions that change our lives.

    No Silver Bullets: 

Your life isn't broken. Stop trying to fix it.

If youʼve tried all the quick fixes in standard self-help books but never got fixed, hereʼs a four-letter framework that brings you clarity, improves your mental health, and boosts your resilience. You may also lose fifty pounds. (I did.)

What Youʼll Learn:

Why the standard self-help doesnʼt work

Science-backed insights linking food, mood, relationships, and energy. Proven strategies for

• Losing weight
• Reducing overthinking
• Maintaining sobriety
• Strengthening relationships
• Parenting a special needs child
• And more

Plus, stories about

• Betty White
• Maverick
• And more

Everyone thinks we should solve problems all the time, and I get it.

Successful people make a lot of money running into problems, solving them, and then simplifying them for the masses.

But in my experience, and according to my research, the biggest problems in our lives donʼt have solutions.

A System You Wonʼt Forget

Thatʼs why the HALT system works. It addresses the real problems in your life:

H (Hungry): How it impacts your mood, health, and resilience.

A (Angry): Learn practical ways to manage your emotions. All of them.

L (Lonely): Strengthen your relationships. They are the most important thing you have.

T (Tired): Figure out how to keep enough energy to make the most of your time.

How Do You Cope When You Are Told There Is No Hope

Paul Merritt was born with cystic fibrosis. He has not lived his life as a victim of disease but, rather, someone who has a passion for science, faith, and helping others to succeed - especially in the face of adversity.

Paul has had to overcome many challenges and much hardship just to survive. His motto in life is “Never let your obstacles become boundaries.”

Paul is an author of two books, The Best of Disease and Simple Ways to Improve, and his memoir Lifelong Turbulence: Calming the Storms of Life with God, Faith, Scripture, and Medicine.

Paul is a small business owner/operator and has a certificate in infectious disease and infection control.

In his interview, Paul shares the keys to getting over adversity in our lives - no matter what it may be. "The size of the fight in the dog is what gets you there."

Listening to Paul will make your day:

 

Living beyond expectations, Lifelong Turbulence is a story of adversity - thirty plus years of living with a chronic illness called Cystic Fibrosis – a genetic disease caused by inheriting mutated genes from parents, which affects 30,000 children and adults in the United States alone, along with numerous issues in those thirty years.

A struggle against living in poverty and even molestation. A powerful story that can motivate and show how to overcome the struggles of life by calming those storms with God, faith, scripture, and medicine. 

Lifelong Turbulence is the story not complete because life still goes on. It may leave some people wondering how, make others grateful, and possibly leave others outraged at what one person had to go through. 

The struggles are real, as well as God, faith, scripture, and medicine.  Look beyond the struggles of the past and see what lies ahead in life.

The Best of Disease and Simple Ways to Improve comes in many forms, in both physical and mental destruction. Some diseases are seen in cells through microscopes while others, through DNA sequencing.

The world is full of battles that we never see taking place; some inside our bodies and minds. With disease comes adversity leaving families shaken and torn, sometimes even broke from the healthcare costs accumulated fighting back against illness.

Life-long battles of those who struggle with cystic fibrosis can provide educational opportunities. These unique insights into the light among dark times are the physician's best asset to offer simple ways to improve.
