That's easy it was in my DNA from the beginning you know I -- I believe you know god gives different people gifts and my gift was the gift of inspiration in the gift to motivate people and really the gift of communication.

And all of all of those different things endured this manifestations of the same gift drumming is a form of communication.

That we all have the stream of people don't know how to attain and they don't know what's involved in doing it.

-- division has started about fifteen years ago and I just began to write down all of my ideas and as I was walking through this whole journey of life I would share.

All these different strategies and things every chapter in the books called the art of something starting with our division.

-- of attitude the art of learning the art of practicing right down to the end the art of giving in the art of commitments so.

These are all sort of in -- multi facet aspects of life because it's personal spiritual vocational.

So as -- journey through life I just journeyed everything journal everything that I wanted to write and it was a process but it was it was something that was really exciting to see come to life because.

It because multiply your your philosophy is -- can multiply your thinking so that other people can can grasp what's in your head.

How do you transfer of the -- of drumming.

Every every gifting is the same in the sense that it's it's a talent the skill than we didn't -- we are born with that.

And then there but there's there's structure and there's foundation and there's work and so success principles are the same whether you're a tennis player whether you're news.
