Group: Parkinsons Proud
Discussion: Do you agree with the assertions made in this video?: ucgardnercenter.com/video/john-baumann
New to the group…watched this video through burning tears. After several years of being diagnosed I have been doing the exact opposite of what you shared. Thank you John, you’ve inspired me to find a way to unshackle myself and live! I will be sharing this with my care partners and friends. I’ve just been through about two weeks of total fatigue and this was the kick-in-the-seat that I needed to get on with it. Even while watching the video I was beginning to understand why God is leading me down this path. Thanks again and going to buy your book tomorrow. God Bless.
Actually, John, the video that I think is the best is 17 Decide Success Action Step 10 Attitude – Parkinson’s “For the Best”. You talk about the difference between Everything Happens for A Reason and Everything Happens for The Best by sharing what your life would have been compared to what it is now – again, showing us that attitude and perspective make all the difference.

Hi John, happy, successful and prosperous 2012! May it bring you more strength, ideas, opportunities to change lives! May you also experience many happy moments with your family, friends, with your own higher self.
It is truly kind of you to drop me this line…I will no doubt stay in touch and follow you, and use some of your clips to inspire others. If you have another group on LinkedIn that you are active into – please let me know. I would like to join it.
Learning about the courage and strength of people like you, who use the cards they are dealt with in the best possible way, is food for my soul. It keeps me going, and I want to spread that message around….so we can live with a larger sense of possibilities, not fear.
A big hug from your Bulgarian fan, and human being.
I read your DECIDE SUCCESS (12 Action Steps) book. It was GREAT. It helped me find light when I was in a dark place towards the end of the semester. Thank you. I hope you had a good break.
…and I am so moved and touched. I currently write a book on confidence and one of the key premises of being confident is choosing the positive perspective. My heart was filled with respect and admiration for your positivity, huge inner power AND sincerity. I agree that at the time ‘disaster’ strikes (we don’t call it that after, but it feels like it at first) it is hard to be cheerful and find the flip side. Yet our attitude towards life then takes over – and we make the choice. As you have done – ‘you ain’t dead yet, let’s to the best of the time I’ve got. Sky diving, inspiring others, write another book, spend time with my loved ones…Seeing your video is one of my Christmas discoveries / gifts. I will be showing your clips in my confidence workshops….so your legacy and inspiration is spread over in Singapore and other parts of the world. May 2012 bring you a new lease of energy, ideas and desire to keep going and touching the hearts and souls of your family, friends and thousands of other people throughout the world…sending you a big virtual hug from Singapore.
John Baumann , author of DECIDE SUCCESS: You Ain’t Dead Yet, is an internationally-renowned National Speakers Association inspirational success speaker.
The DECIDE SUCCESS principles help real people deal with life-changing events and live their lives to the fullest.
For him, it was his daughter being born with a life-threatening defect and, then, being diagnosed himself, five years later, with Parkinson’s Disease at the ripe young age of 41.
For others, it may be another disease, an injury, or loss of a loved one.
Besides being an inspirational speaker and author, John is on the faculty of the University of Louisville, the Chair of Make-A-Wish Kentucky and a practicing attorney.
DECIDE SUCCESS helps real people deal with life-changing events and provides 12 Action Steps for them to Live Life to the Fullest. For me, it was Parkinson’s Disease at the ripe young age of 41. For others, it may be another disease, an injury, loss of a job, lose of a loved one, etc.
DECIDE SUCCESS is just as applicable to a student, someone starting out in the workforce or even someone taking up a new sport or hobby.
I am happy to announce that the Kindle version is now available at Amazon and you can still purchase the book at TheInspiringEsquire.com or through Amazon.com
I will be signing books and making a presentation at Joseph Beth Bookstore in Lexington on November 30 at 7pm. Please feel free to stop by if you are in the area.
