This is my story of how I obtained my victory while awakening to the real me. No one wants to live feeling oppressed and defeated. I had to realize if life was going to change, I was going to have to make some decisions. I would have to face some facts about myself and life, so Destroying the Barriers, Looking for the Real Me emerged. I wrote it to help myself and others who have known defeat through life's experience and obstacles. Yes, I have known defeat, but the key is I did not continue to live with it. There is an escape route and I learned to incorporate it into my life to become the conqueror and not the conquered and live in freedom.
