O knihe

An overwhelming sense of awe, gratitude, and clarity suddenly hit me.
How did I get here?
I'm sitting in first class on my way to St. Maarten to join my 66-foot sailboat, crew, and friends to begin a sailing saga that will take me across 15,000 miles of sea to Australia during the next 18 months. A dream come true.
Retired at age 54, with a lakefront home at Lake Tahoe and build- ing a grand home on 40 acres a mile from the ocean near the hamlet of Avila Beach, California, I wonder: How could one be more blessed?
One who grew up without a father's presence, with an unstable, promiscuous mother; one who endured horrific challenges, suicide, gangs, and expulsion from high school. One who was forced to attend a trade school, unable to walk for two years as a teenager due to a motorcycle accident, and whose highest goal was to sim- ply get out of school with a job that paid enough for a car and an apartment.
How I got here-and the insights and lessons learned along the way-are the story of my life.
As I look back over the challenges and traumas, what stands out is how every aspect of my life was and continues to be con- nected in ways that gradually lift and support me on my amazing, blessed journey. I can see how the love and care of so many who touched my life made a huge, positive difference, and how I inter- nalized and applied their wisdom and guidance.
I hope the lessons in my story can make a difference for you. -Mike Ritter
