My name is Marty Ward, and I’m the creator and publisher of 1-Vibrant-Life.com. I’ve had over 35 years of sales and marketing experience in the technology field, and as well, I also experienced some earlier success in life as a musician.
The highlight was a performance in a musical group that I was part of on two of the earliest episodes in the first season of Star Search 84′ with Ed McMahon.
During this time, at the age of 26, and just after the airing of our performances on Star Search, I was in a terrible car accident in which I sustained a traumatic brain injury. In the accident, I suffered what is known as a subdural hematoma which is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The accident and the significant physical and mental recovery it presented me with was, without a doubt, the most challenging yet transformative time in my life.
It created for me a lifelong path of self-discovery and personal development.
With the love and support of family and friends and a terrific personal therapist who started me on a cognitive behavioral therapy course, or CBT, I learned how to rebuild and restart my life after my accident and injury.
I also learned how always to keep growing and learning and moving forward in life.
The hope is that this site and its content can provide insight and assistance for those going through a challenging point in their lives.
Finding the strength to start over and begin again and re-learn to trust and believe in oneself, again and again, is what a truly successful life is all about.
“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.”
“Success in not final, failure is not fatel: It is the courage to continue that counts”
– Winston Churchill
I hope that one might discover new perspectives and fresh ideas on taking that next step in a very long journey back to themselves. Creating a richer, fuller, and more vibrant life going forward.
