Stories That Resonate, Characters That Endure.

"Personal Note" from the author Gene Nalbandian.

From my youth and into early adulthood, each of my life experiences taught me the meaning of failure — leaving me with feelings of doubt, uncertainty, hopelessness, and a constant sense of not being enough. I struggled to face reality. But over time, I gradually came to believe in myself.

I came to realize that my failures were not dead ends — they were teachers, helping me build a foundation of strength and purpose. They taught me that I had the inner capacity to achieve whatever I could truly visualize.

I wrote Believing is Possible to share my story and the stories of others who, like me, overcame unique failures, bad luck, and adversity to become who they were meant to be.

Each of the 19 life stories in the book explores struggles such as racial discrimination, poverty, lack of education, addiction, crime, prostitution, and more. I encourage you to take the journey — and reach for your own inner potential.
