La Tanisha C. Wright does what no other tobacco marketing executive has done before: She covertly helps public health leaders and Attorneys General end a predatory marketing campaign and sue the Big Tobacco Company that she works for. During her efforts to protect the public, a vicious attack brings her life to a standstill. She plummets into depression, and is haunted by the spirit of suicide. She resigns from the tobacco industry and continues to combat the tobacco epidemic. As she matures into a renowned public speaker, she suffers unbearable heartaches. In an effort to overcome, she uses her experiences with Big Tobacco as a platform to start her own business. In a strange twist, federal public health officials conspire to impede her mission to protect the public from tobacco industry marketing practices. Ms. Wright chronicles a lifetime of abuse and corporate bullying, and the subsequent journey of grieving, forgiving, and healing.
Challenges wouldn't be challenging without something to overcome. In overcoming we grow to know our strengths and abilities. When we acknowledge the fear and accept the worst possible outcome, it loses its power over us. Then we can move forward and do what we feared anyway, and perhaps even truly enjoy the ride. Once we've faced even one challenge and denied fear any power over our lives, we know we are capable of accomplishing more than we previously had thought possible.
Life is full of challenges, but we know we are capable of facing them and growing from them. Let's choose to look past the anxious feelings of challenges and anticipate the joys and successes that wait on the other side.
