My Story

A few years ago I was in a deep seemingly never-ending depression. I had no ambition or purpose, I was obese and so low at times I got suicidal.
I'll try not to depress anybody further here! lol, however, I've put my full story here http://wayofthedave.com
I'd say that I've been blessed to have turned my life around as much I have.
I overcame my self-sabotaging behaviors and went from obese to recreational bodybuilder. I achieved a level of inner-peace, clarity and perspective that makes me excited to get up in the morning.
I've made it my personal mission to use everything I've learned on my journey to help others. If a guy like me that was so close to edge could positively influence others, I just think it would be a very rewarding feeling.
Why I joined WA
I'm not a materialistic person, but money is a requirement to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. So I signed up to WA to learn how to make money online as well as how to get my message out to more people. I wanted to work from home so I'd have more time to help others, share my experiences and live my passion. I tried doing this while in various 9-to-5s, but I just found the limited and depressing attitudes of my co-workers pulling me down.
If you’re currently in a similar position to how I used to be, please feel free to contact me and I’ll try and help in any way I can.
