Dedication

This book is dedicated to YOU. My prayer is that as you turn these pages, you begin to see what I have seen. That you are your single most valuable resource, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, and I know there is potential for greater happiness, love, and joy hidden within, waiting to be discovered. The secret is in you; the fuel is what you hold in your thoughts and believe in your heart.

If you believe in yourself and have passion, you can succeed. — Zig Ziglar

Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life. — Tony Robbins

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. — Apostle Paul (Philippians 4:8, NKJV)

Acknowledgments

Most importantly, my thanks to God, the ultimate mentor and coach, who has blessed my life in every good way with amazing friends, health, opportunity, and a loving family. I am thankful for the trials, heartaches, laughter, love, and joy that have brought me to where I am and continue to mold me daily. All the honor and glory are due Him.

To my beautiful wife and girlfriend, Melisa, and my children, Westley and Olivia Grace. Their love and faith in me I have never doubted, and it has been a rich blessing in my life.

To my good friends and professional mentors, Jonathon Sprinkles and Ed Rush, who, over the years, have always encouraged me and blessed me with many opportunities to grow and to hone my message. Without their guidance and occasional chastening, I truly am not sure where I would be today.

To Melvin and Libby Christian, my mom and dad, who put up with a frustrating young Bart and raised me to believe anything was possible as long as I put my heart into it, worked right, and did it as if unto the Lord.

To my grandmother, who made sure I was in church every Sunday and kept me on the right path as much as she could. I miss you every day, Nanny, and I am looking forward to seeing you in Heaven.

To the late Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar — their mentorship through audio programs and books has contributed so much to molding my philosophy toward life and my fellow man. You will see their influence throughout this book.

Foreword

Roll with the Changes

I was delighted when Bart Christian asked if I would be willing to write the Foreword to his new book, Simple Solutions for Personal Wellness: 7 Ingredients for Building Resiliency. Bart and I have been friends for 22 years and have a shared interest and commitment to our families, faith, and friends. Bart is an innovator and motivator in the food service industry, as well as a nationally recognized speaker. He has written his Simple Solutions book series to help others become more effective communicators, problem solvers, and innovators in their daily lives.

Our paths through life have not been easy, most notably when we ventured off the beaten path with good intentions and met with painful, even disastrous, consequences. Although neither of us knew it at the time, our life trajectories were being shaped and guided by forces that yielded remarkable life lessons and ultimately led us to a place far better than either of us could imagine. Perhaps our journey through life is best captured by the rock band REO Speedwagon’s 1978 number one hit, Roll with the Changes!
