RE: Starting From ZERO (Bottom nothing to say level)

excellent article - you are so very right - everything we need is right inside our minds and our biggest obstacle is ourselves - while it's tempting to blame our situation on people or circumstances - many other people in worse situations have proven that the right mindset is all you need to break the chains and achieve our goals and dreams. Just look up Bill Porter the salesman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Porter_(salesman)

Bill Porter (salesman)
Bill Porter (September 9, 1932 – December 3, 2013) was an American salesman, who worked for Watkins Incorporated based out of Winona, Minnesota. Born with cerebral palsy, Porter's background and work was brought to the public's attention in 1995 when an Oregon-based newspaper published a series of feature stories about him.Porter was born in San Francisco, California, and at a young age moved to Portland, Oregon along with his mother. He was unable to gain employment due to his cerebral palsy, but refused to go on disability. Porter eventually convinced Watkins Incorporated to give him a door-to-door salesman job, selling its products on a seven-mile route in the Portland area.
