    About this ebook

    Lorenzo Victory was only a child when he made the decision to live his life by caring for others. When he reached adulthood, this decision would open him up to a deeper understanding of the trials and struggles of his life.

    Lorenzo was born with neurofibromatosis, an illness that resulted in tumors all over his body. This illness and its physical symptoms causes difficulties with both adults and children. It became his greatest challenges early in life, following him into adulthood and eventually putting his life in jeopardy in the form of a brain tumor.

    Even so, it couldn’t hold him back. In Anything Is Possible, Lorenzo shares his inspiring story of success despite adversity in order to encourage others facing their own challenges early and throughout life. He also provides original and inspirational positive quotes as you read the book designed to offer encouragement and motivation to anyone facing obstacles. Regardless of your circumstances, Lorenzo believes you can accomplish anything you believe you can. With confidence and motivation and especially attitude, anything is possible.

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank my family for the love and support they have given me throughout my life. I would also like to thank my close friends for always being there for me. My mother, father, and sister have been wonderful my whole life and have always supported me—no matter what was occurring. I have been inspired by my mother and father. I have also been inspired by my sister and brother-in-law and, lastly, by my niece and nephew.

      Introduction

      This book is based on my personal experiences in life. I have found that my messages of being confident and staying positive have helped others, and I’m confident they will help you too. I wrote this book to share my knowledge and experiences of setbacks and accomplishments. I hope it inspires you. This book is designed to help anyone who feels overwhelmed or uninspired, or who lacks confidence. I hope it will also lift your spirits and provide you with feel-good quotes and inspiring thoughts.

      The following are inspirational, thought-provoking, positive messages and quotes that I have written. I write what I feel at the moment. I have endured many setbacks and obstacles throughout my life. I have overcome ailments and many hardships to get where I am. I have had a brain tumor, scoliosis, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1), a heart attack, hydrocephalus, and more. I just retired as an officer at a major bank. I started as a teller and ended up as a manager. I worked as a banker for twenty-seven years. During my career, banking changed many times and we adapted to the changes. I lived with the motto No excuses! We all worked in a no excuse environment. We did our jobs. We all had our respective roles, and we all had accountability. We held ourselves liable for our conduct and our performance. When a task or assignment was not done, we learned not to blame others for our shortfalls. We took responsibility and answered to our managers. This is part of what helped shape me into the positive, confident person I have become.

      I believe that anything is possible and that nothing can stand in the way of happiness and success. I want to share my messages and thoughts with the world. In this book I present my life—as seen through my eyes. I share my experiences and how I dealt with the good and the bad. I continue to find the strength to overcome daily issues that come with life. I feel very fortunate that I am able to write this book in order to show everyone that—no matter what your pain, issue, ailment, physical condition, or emotion is—you can decide the direction of your future. Poor health can take a toll on you. Sometimes it’s unexpected, and sometimes it comes with age. Life can also throw curve balls at you. No matter what the issue is, the answer is attitude.

      I began posting quotes on a social media site in late 2011. I received positive feedback nearly every time I posted a quote. All of the quotes are my original quotes. I felt inspired by the feedback I received when I wrote them. After careful consideration, I decided that others might benefit from reading my quotes and reading about my life and how I came to be the positive, confident, and caring person I am today.

      My story starts with my life as a young child and the medical issues I faced. It also shows how I dealt with life and how I overcame those issues. I then list quotes based on different thoughts. I have divided the book into several topics and categories of my quotes and thoughts. My story’s theme follows the quotes, and while the story starts off addressing that particular category, the story about my life also picks up where I left off when I write about the other topics. I have placed the quotes under the appropriate headings of five different categories. Although the story may tend to skip around a little, it all ties back into a continuing story that follows my theme. I hope my thoughts and quotes—along with my life experiences—inspire all who read them.

      Caring

      This category and the quotes that follow are about caring. Below I share the beginning of my story. It sends a caring message followed by my quotes and thoughts that have a caring theme.

      I started out caring about people early in my life. I was always able to make friends very easily and was never a selfish child. I always shared
