A photograph is shaped more by the "'Self-Talk'" of the person taking the picture than by what's in front of them. HJ Whitley never left his home without being dress for success. His image and self-confidence was his calling card. He wanted others to think positively about him.
HJ Whitley was a remarkable man that was not imprisoned by his circumstances, his setbacks, his history or his mistakes, or even staggering defeats along the way. He was freed by his choices. By looking for the positive in every opportunity and by rejecting the belief that every down in life leads us only further downward, he gave himself the greatest power possible; the ability to move up despite the setbacks.
