Does it ever seem like some people have their whole life together naturally?  They are super positive people and everything seems to be going their way?

Were they born lucky?

Were they born with confidence?

Were they born having everything they needed to have a great life?

No.

Many positive, successful people started off having it pretty rough.  And they had setbacks along the way.

There is always a crossroad where you get to decide...do I want to be angry & sad about life?  Or do I want to create a life I truly desire?

Today's guest, Coach X, shares how growing up without a traditional family life, having a pulmonary embolism and a heart attack have made him the positive person he is today.

Get inspired. Find your alignment, and get ready to have a life of Xcellence.
