Why Try?

Try Kayaking

Try Snowskiing

Try writing a book or poem

Have you ever asked yourself, “why try”?
When something is new are you sometimes afraid to try?
Does it seem like everyone except you is working or doing fun things?

Life is full of roadblocks; for everyone, not just people in a wheelchair like me. So, what if I chose to just sit the sidelines and watch other people being and doing. It would be pretty boring right?

There is a new normal in town and it includes people of all abilities working, participating in sports and volunteering in the community.

To change our circumstances WE need to change. We need to be willing to come outside our safety net and try something new!

Here are some things to ponder:

Stop doing the same things expecting different results.
Try it you’ll like it!
Change yourself by thinking: I CAN!

What do you have to lose? If you know what you want, will make a plan, and then be willing to TRY, you will be amazed with the wonderful things that can happen. Not trying can be our biggest hurdle.

Description: Helping in Action is the first book in the upcoming Awesome in Action series by Nick Arthur Roussos. Combining his love of children, reading, and recounting his own childhood adventures in Africa, the author has created a book for beginning readers that not only entertains, but also introduces another culture and teaches an important life lesson: Anyone can be a hero—no matter what obstacles they face or circumstances they find themselves in.

Featuring himself as the main character, the author centers the story on the idea of helping others, introducing young Nick’s family and narrating young Nick’s adventurous rescue of a baby lion. He never mentions the adaptive equipment the boy needs to move and speak, choosing instead to let the pictures illustrate a normal, happy family.

Roussos tells his stories to help young and old readers alike learn that everyone is different and everyone faces challenges—and while you can’t choose your circumstances, you can choose your attitude.

Helping in Action takes readers on an exciting African adventure with Nick, his family, and the orphaned lion cub Sandy. Don’t be surprised when your child immediately wants to read it again—and again.
