The following pages are a brief introduction to a life of someone that I know pretty well, or at least I think I do.
Sometimes I am not so sure, but at other times, I know 100%.
This person and I have had many battles, both physically and mentally that continue to this very day. These internal battles have brought me to the upper echelons of happiness and to the lower levels of fear, anger, sadness, and depression at different times in my life. I am pretty sure you have an idea of who I am talking about by now.
Yes, I am talking about me, a human being.

Meet Cornelius (Neo) Wright
Certified Life Coach / Author
As an African American man that was born in the sixties. I have traveled many miles in this world by car, train, boat, and airplane.
However, over time, I have discovered that the furthest distance that all of us humans have to travel is the six inches between our ears.
Come with me, as I help you explore my own journeys, as well as your own.
