Does this mean every time we have a problem that we should club them over the head? I think not. What do I mean by this? Don't be afraid to be different, be yourself, you wouldn't believe how many people will sell their soul to fit in. Why is all I want to ask you?

When we first moved to Huron, Ohio 13 years ago I was bit naïve and thought it would be ok to talk about my mental health disorder and I told people that I was mentally ill, I told them how bad I used to be and how I self mutated myself.

I remember the first time this happenedthey looked at me as if I had cancer that you could catch, by breathing. What amazed me is the fact that how all the rumors got started, and the whole town knew that there was a psycho in the town! Stay away from him! Now I must admit that when I first moved to this new town I was hurt, even devastated and I felt like a piece of shit on a stick!

Now I would try to recover the lost ground that I lost, but I finally come to realize that I really don't give a shit if anyone in this town likes me or not! I can honestly say that this is a true statement and that if people don't like me for who I am then they can go to hell.

I won't pretend to be someone I am not, and all the people who really know me, know I have heart of gold and would do anything for just about anyone. Why was it so hard in those early years, well it kind of goes like this, the people of this town are kind of snobbish and think they are better than you or they are trailer trash, that drink everyday, to drowned there sorrows!

Please stay with me here, it is a great little town and when you meet the right people, ones that have some common sense and they get to know you personally. They say to me my God Arthur, they make you out to be a monster and you are a great person and I have heard this repeatedly, repeatedly.

Well now that 13 years have passed, those same people who judged me, when they had a plank in their own eye are still assholes. I can't single handily change that, but what I do, is this, know that with God and me I have always got enough to be just as good as any other person one the planet!

Yes, my self-confidence is growing rapidly and the same people that have never even approached the fame and glory that I have come to know as my life. I now have three books published and they are all a smashing success and the futer gets brighter as the days go along and I no longer worry about the folks I consider dorks and yes the ones that drink themselves silly are still doing it 13 years latter! Duh, do I have any brain cells left?

I am now thirty-seven and my house is paid off. My cars are paid for, my children don't want for anything and My first book was indorsed by Zig Ziglar and none of the commoners can say that and I have even spoken at Zig Ziglars corporate office in Texas, and have a hand written letter from Zig himself hanging on my wall. How many people can claim that?

Now do I believe that I am better than anyone else is, I would say it depends on whom you are talking about. God gives us each a certain amount of talent and if you us all your talent, you will be considered a grate success and those that waste what they have and stay lost in the crowd they are going to be sorry in the end, when they have serous of the liver.

I feel I am on my way to greatness and helping those that are less fortunate than I am. Therefore, what I mean by walk tall is this. Know you are special, that God does not make any mistakes, and you are just as good as the next person or girl next door, not some of the times, ALL THE TIME, you are special and you are a winner.

When some one acts like they are better than you just show them how big your stick is, what do I mean by this? Just simply that you may not be as well known or liked, but if you use your God given talent as they waste all theirs, then your stick is bigger than there's.

In the end they will all say you walked tall and were more productive than most all of them anyway, your stick was bigger than theirs is. So please my friend walk tall and carry a big stick and someday when you are famous or you are just a better person, then they are, you can just smile, because you let your walking do the talking and you indeed carried a big stick!

The reason I wrote this article, is to show people that God doesn't play favorites and if you have a mental health disorder, don't sweat it they are coming up with more treatment every day and one day you will look at your stick and see that you are recovered. You have walked tall, please know you will be rewarded for your effort!

Please share this article with anyone you feel who this can help and remember to keep yout chin up! Thanks:)

With Much Love,
