Message to Youth and Young Adults

with Low Self-Esteem

You look fine on the outside (maybe), but there’s plenty of turmoil going on inside of you. I’ve been there. This is a unique societal context we find ourselves in.

My mission is to relieve you, genius, of this inner turmoil. It won’t be easy, but you can be free!  

My goal is to comprehensively show you how. The consequences are dire if you don’t figure things out soon. Don’t wait until you feel trapped.

Again, I know!  I’m a Church boy who spent most of his early years, literally hiding, feeling ugly, utterly confused, and in pain. I didn’t know the consequences of low self-esteem. I didn’t know that low self-esteem would lead me to smoking drugs, robbery, womanizing, and being handcuffed to the grill inside a police cruiser.

It took many years of research and self-reflection to turn my mindset around. Don’t spend the decades suffering that I spent.

Here are the five values that I deeply adopted that turned things around for me:

  1. Everything is Possible

  2. I am responsible for my life, no one is coming to rescue me

  3. One should accept facts, view them in an empowering way, and reinforce these beliefs

  4. Love my neighbor as myself, and

  5. Being all that I can be is a result of fulfilling my purpose

Today I’m proud to say that I am a Husband, Father, Educator, World Traveler, Internationally Published Writer, and Speaker.

What greatness will you bring into the world? I have no doubt that you have something magnificent inside of you! Let’s bring it out! It’s not easy, but YOU can do it!

VERNARD WILL:

  • 1. Teach you how to look at your appearance and circumstance in an empowering way

    Vernard will shift how youth and young adults view their appearance and circumstances. What if what you think is a negative in your life is actually a positive? How much stronger might you be?

    In this presentation Vernard walks youth and young adults through the practical mental shift in perspective that allowed him to cope and turn his life around.

  • 2. Convince you that you and only you are responsible for your life

    In this presentation Vernard will convince youth and young adults how ridiculous it is the believe that something outside of themselves can change their lives for the better. Sure they may get a hand out here or there, but to transform themselves into the best version of themselves, where fulfillment is, it’s going to require their efforts, and their efforts ALONE.

  • 3. Teach you how to easily get in the area of your purpose

    In this presentation Vernard will break down the formula each youth and young adult must always apply to be in the area of their purpose. When each one of these magnificent beings takes their experience and mixes it with their personal qualities in a way that helps another, they will be right in the area of their purpose. Youth and Young Adults must know that none of their experience, good or bad, is wasted!

  • 4. Persuade you that EVERYTHING is possible, including turning your life around right now!

    In this presentation, Vernard will highlight ‘impossibilities’ that became possible. Youth and Young Adults will be motivated to accomplish anything. They will also understand the importance of always surrounding themselves with great ‘can do’ energy.

  • 5. Absolutely make clear why connection, not disconnection, is so important to YOU

    In this presentation, Vernard will quantify the weight of guilt on the human psyche. Youth and young adults need every bit of their powers to become all that they can be. They should also consider how each and every human they come in contact with can be instrumental in their becoming the best version of themselves
