Ever since I was a child I have always had a determined positive personality. Always smiling, laughing and engaging in the usual mischiefs any other youngster would. What made me and my situation especially endearing were two main factors.

1) I was put up for adoption as soon as I was born in 1969. My mother was only 15 years old and was incapable of caring for me at such a young age. I was born, adopted, raised and educated in the north east of Scotland, actually I attained the second part of my childhood education in Edinburgh from 1978.

2) I was born premature and, as a result, I stopped breathing for about a minute and a half at birth and almost ceased living. Although even at this critical time, my determination shone through and I gasped my first breath. Phew, I had made it!! However, because of this trauma and the lack of oxygen, I developed cerebral palsy, a condition which affects the motor-neuron physical signals to the right side of my body. My disability was not apparent until I was about six months old when my adoptive mum noticed that I was unable to sit up straight and was always falling over to my right side. Very concerned, mum took me to get a physical examination at the local medical centre and it was then I was diagnosed with CP. She was obviously devastated, but she could probably see the twinkle in my eyes, took me back home and continued instilling in me the sheer of determination and strength which I needed to succeed and live as normal a life as possible. Well done, Super mum!!

All throughout my wonderful life, despite my physical challenge, I am always proving myself and my capabilities to the so-called ‘naysayers’ of society. When I am told “John, you can’t do that”, I usually go on ahead and do it anyway and prove them wrong. I currently live alone in a lovely 2 bedroom bungalow here in Scotland.

I am fortunate too in that I am musically gifted. At aged 5 I was playing around with a toy electronic organ and played (totally by accident of course) the first 5 or 6 notes of Amazing Grace. I somehow knew that I possessed a musical talent, and even at that age I felt so elated and excited by my newly discovered talent and decided to develop it further, eventually playing to family, friends and acquaintances. I play and compose music on keyboards with my left hand, without the ability to read music and with computer technology, I am able to create an entire orchestra in my own front room. Amazingly!

Skipping forward four decades or so until now, I have never lost that drive, passion, desire and determination to continue my journey encountering rewarding experiences and new challenges which will be overcome. I have always also had the inner-knowledge that, someday I would earn a six figure income, and although I have yet to fulfill this dream through music, I feel that with the digital technology and the remarkable power of the internet, this is going to change everything in such a positive way. I will always have music in my soul, a song to be played, a lyric to be sung. I do now though feel a strong desire to expand my horizons, to adapt in this digital culture and embrace with a sense of urgent expectancy my own slice of the unlimited abundance of wealth that is just waiting to be claimed. No-one can ultimately prevent anyone attaining the riches and prosperity that is rightfully yours.

My latest endeavour is to harness the totally awesome power of affiliate marketing and to use my own life experience to educate other individuals with that kindred-spirit and life purpose to also create wealth, prosperity and happiness through the realisation that life is for living passionately, on purpose and joyfully with intent.

Wow! You are amazing, What a beautiful blog. One of my favorites. You've proven you're fine just the way you are. Glad you came back! :)))

Thank you 777 getgoing, for making me smile :) let's get going on thi s, huh? I am really determined this time!! :))

awee, I'm glad I made you smile. Smiles are always good. I know you can make a six figure income easily. We are here for each other, so you're correct let's get this going! :)) By the way, I can play twinkle, little star on the piano, but not very good. Lol :)

Lol, twinkle little star, I am sure you have many other important money-making talents? I always believe that with the support from the people who are meant to be there to support us we can and will achieve our dreams and goals easily. Yes, we will be here for each other! :))

What a nice life story, just keep in that way, there is nothing that can't be done!

Such a remarkable life story you've got. It is sad to see that because of your birth defects you developed Cerebral Palsy later on in your life. Very unfortunate. What I like the most about you is that you seem like someone who is always positive, and it seems like nothing ever brings you down. This is definitely a character trait you want to keep :D Glad to see that you are passionate about music, and that despite the fact that you have medical issues. You really are an awesome individual :)

hey thanks, The cp was barely recognizable when I was a child, the only thing which really bugged be was my right arm as you saw on the video. Nahh, why should anything bring me down, we've only got one shot at this life make the best of it we can eh?, it's not really a medical issue either, I've never seen a doctor in years, i don't trust them to be honest! lol :D I have a lovely son too who's 17 y.o and he is a superb guitarist and he's going to start studying at the School of Audio engineering here in Glasgow in September. ;))

That's great to hear :)
