A MELTING POT OF INSPIRATION
FROM AROUND THE WORLD

 Mitchell,

I experienced your presentation at a H&R Block National Convention in New Orleans in November.  I will never forget you.  It's been a year oF changes, some painful, some joyful, all challenging.  I honestly felt renewed purpose after seeing you.  Thanks for a life-changing message that I have since passed on to my children.

 Mitchell,

Thank you for inspiring so many, especially those who have never met you.  It only takes one person to hear your story and know that they can make it.  You made it and continue to make life worth living.

 Mr. Mitchell,

I am going through a very difficult time...I am down in the dumps and my sister pointed me to your site.  Thank you for all your hard work and the inspiration you provide.  I hope to use your words to pull myself up and be bigger and stronger for my family and my 7 year old daughter.

Mitchell,

I had the privilege to hear you speak to our California Highway Patrol Peer Support Class a couple days ago.  I can't begin to explain how much I truly enjoyed hearing you and meeting you.  While your story is beyond inspiring, I gained an opportunity to actually use your message every day.  My father had a stroke a year ago.  He has all but given up on having any type of quality in his life.  Your message, story and example are ones I can use with him.  I want to thank you for helping me in trying to help him and for helping me improve my life through your examples.

 Hello Mitchell,

My name is Dahril.  I am a 13 year old student motivated by your remarkable story.  My Moral Education Teacher showed me a video of your story and I was totally moved by your story.  If only I can be like you.  Anyways, do visit Singapore.  It would be a great honor if I could meet you, sir.  Thank you.

 Mitchell,

What a delight it was to meet you last weekend.  I read your book and am completely inspired by your story.  You are a remarkable human being and I am honored to know you.  Thank you for sharing your story with the world.  You have helped me gain focus, perspective and gratitude.  Thank you.

Mitchell,

I bought all of your merchandise and it was well worth the money.  You have something going for yourself in that you got into two serious accidents and you are able to accomplish so much.  The film AVATAR, if one is familiar with you, realizes that the idea of the film comes from you.  People like Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Bill Clinton, John Denver are real proud to say, "Yea, W Mitchell is a friend of mine."  I tell people I meet on the internet who are having problems to go to your website and watch your videos and the reaction afterwards is always the same, "Wow!"  Did you ever think of either writing a script or having one submitted to you for a film explaining the story of your life?  I'm sure such a film would be a blockbuster....

Dear Mitchell,

I would like to take this opportunity to say what an inspiring, uplifting, and empowering story yours is. The positive way you have handled the various troubles and obstacles in your life is a lesson to us all.

I have developed tinnitus a few months ago and for a week or so after it happened, I was very very depressed and feeling sorry for myself.  Fortunately, I came across your book not too long after, which (I am happy to report) changed my mental attitude about how I see things (especially my tinnitus). I actually feel a bit ashamed I moaned about it now when I compare it to what you went through with the terrible burns and then the paralysis.

I have since learned to be grateful for the things I have in my life, and the relative ease with 31 years on the Earth which have passed so far.

You truly are the man who would not be defeated...and an inspiration to us all.

 Mitchell,

I have been inspired by you since I first saw you speak at the public library in Park City, Utah in 1994.  I have been hoping to see you speak again especially so my wife can see you.  I have read your book many times and aspire to be as positive as you.  I hope that my wife can meet you someday and I look forward to hearing you again if you ever come to Orlando.

Hello Mitchell,

I heard your story from Tony Robbins audios.  You are an amazing person.  I don't even have words to express myself at this moment then tears over my face.  I wish to have your strength and ability to go on with my life as you did.

Mitchell,

I just wanted to say Thank You.  I read your book and you are such an inspiration.  Whenever I have hard times in my life, I think of you and think if he can get through his obstacles, so can I.  Mine seem insignificant compared to what you have been through. Again, thank-you so much.

Mitchell,

I just finished your book after having heard you speak to our Trustees.  My daughter who has a spinal cord injury is now reading it...a gift for her birthday.  Thank you for touching my life and our family.  Appreciated the postcard too.

Blessings to you,

Hello Mr. Mitchell,

My name is Susan and I am going through a very bad patch with my business at the moment and looking for inspiration.  I picked up my Chicken Soup for the Soul book and read your story and decided to do further research and look you up on the internet. 

Wow, what can I say, you are the man and I am so proud of your success that I have decided to try to overcome my obstacles and look at other ways to save my business.  Thank you and wish you continued good health and happiness.  

Kind regards,
Susan

Dear Mitchell,

Things lately have been a bit rough, and for some reason, I remembered you coming to my primary school (possibly in 2005) and telling a little girl and her cohort your inspirational story.  So naturally I decided to Google you, and here I am now.

Now as a year 12 student about to graduate into the vast open world, I would like to thank you for sharing with me your message so many years ago.  I will take your words with me as I try to make whatever difference I can on the world in which we live.

 I sincerely thank you,

Mitchell,

Our world is such an amazing place!  You were a speaker at a junior high right after my 11 year old daughter had her hand cut off and re-attached, 20 years ago.  They sat all the children on the gymnasium floor and you wheeled around them speaking about your life.  You could have heard a pin drop the entire time.  After your speech you met individually with my daughter and I believe you changed the way she handled her injury, recovery, and the rest of her life.  The reason I started thinking about you today is her brother has lost an eye in an accident and at age 28 and unmarried feels like women find him a monster.  He has a beautiful prosthetic but hasn't come to grips with his injury.  I am so thankful for the internet and being able to find you.  I have asked him to look at your "Escaping From Prison" video.  That really hit home for me.  He feels he needs to look away and not answer any questions as you did.  I hope to find where he might be able to hear you speak.  Thank you for what you do.  You have helped my family once and I hope you help again.  I am telling them both to look at your website.  Thanks again.

Dear Mitchell,

Thank you for being such an inspirational person.  I have shared about your story with my dad.  I pray and hope he will learn from your message, "It's not what happens to you.  It's what you do about it."  My daddy has got skin disease since young and it got worsen as he grow older.  He lost faith in his life and the people beside him, especially family members.  Recently I attended Dr. Bill Kueek's classes, that's where I got to know you.  I took up the courage to share with my dad about you as I never shared before (Asian culture, very conservative).  I hope to see you around. :-)  Take care!

Mitchell,

I'm in the process of re-inventing my life after being laid off 6 weeks ago.  Since then, I've read "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" which transformed my relationship with God.  I'm working my way through "Zen and the Art of Making a Living" and ordered your book from Amazon.  Interestingly, your book arrived today and I opened it and found it autographed and your incredible quote, "Oh Yes We Can!"   Thank you for inspiring me even further as I take responsibility for change!

I've recently came across your videos on YouTube. You are quite the inspiration. Thank you for being willing to shine that bright light of yours for all of us to see.

Mitchell,

I read your book, listened to CDs, DVDs and watched everything I could find on YouTube.  You're pretty amazing.  People go up to Robbins and Dyer and tell them, "it's easy for you to say to be positive, but I have work for a living."  No one and I mean no one could say something like that to you.  You walk your talk.

 Mitchell,

I was reminded of your story when I saw an e-mail being passed around work about the 90/10 principle devised by Steven Covey.  I still remember you speaking to us at Tibbetts Junior High sometime around 1988-1990.  I remember shaking your hand.  I found your message much more powerful than anything Mr. Covey can come up with.  Just wanted you to know I never forgot.

For anybody who's thinking about buying the CDs, DVDs and the book, buy it.  It's well worth the money.  You got to see it to believe it.

Mitchell,

I watched you speak over a decade ago when I was only 13 years old at a conference with my dad.  Your message has stuck with me in every choice I have made and has developed my attitude toward every challenge I face.  I just want to say - Thanks!

Thanks for the loving boot in the bum;  your sweet sense of humor and your huge heart.

I came across your video via Peers Want to Know.  I believe that things happen for a purpose and listening to you just now is exactly what I needed.

Much love to you and know that I sent the clip to my friends.

Sir,

I met you once in Singapore at Sim Lim Square (probably a forgettable experience to you)...I walked up to you and shook hands with you.  That is one of the proudest things that I have done.  Thanks for trail blazing your thoughts to us.  You inspired me to do and walk miles that is seemingly impossible to my peers.  I still am in the midst of changing my condition but my agreement with your thoughts that it's about how one takes destiny of one's life that matters.... Thanks for your thoughts again.  It should replace Coke ads to reach out to more people.

Best of Health,
I wish you my 10 years worth of Happiness to you.

Found an old tape from the 1990 Maui speech you gave with Tony Robbins.  I revisited your story.  So if you need one more thank you...Thank you.  I hope all is well.

Mitchell,

I can see that you have a lot to be thankful for.
1.  People love you.
2.  I tell people to go to your website and I tell them, "You got to see it to believe it."  And afterwards they say, "Wow." 
3.  You have a dynamic personality.
4.  I don't think that most people would ever be able to make the comeback that you made.
5.  You're very happy.  This is something that a lot of people only dream about.
6.  You're very successful.  Author, member of many boards of directors, businessman, politician, talk show personality, gifted speaker.
7.  People like Bill Clinton, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, John Denver will always be delighted when you just simply call on the phone, no matter what time of day it is.
8.  You bring joy to people.
9.  People look to you for inspiration and idolize you.
Need I go on.

Hey Mayor!

Again, I can't thank you enough for speaking at U of Hawaii.  It was great for the students and we received loads of positive feedback.  As one professor in attendance wrote to me:  "Thank you very much for arranging this beautiful opportunity.  Students needed spiritual stimulus, and your event provided it.  Students learn how to live from Mitchell."  Prof. Jang Kim

Dear Mitchell,

I listened to your audio disks (several times), read your book (2X), and watched your DVD.   I'd like to point out, you used the term "small steps."  This is a key point that you could expound on because I believe you go from a small step and keep going until you get to bigger steps.  On your tape and your DVD, you mention people's names.  I think it's a lift for these people's lives that you took notice of them.  This is also something that could be explained more in detail.  How is it that you get people to really love you?  Including Tony Robbins, Bill Clinton, Zig Ziglar, Jimmy Carter, John Denver, Gary Hart.

Dear Mitchell,

I saw you in a book and remembered your name.  I came home to view your information on internet.  I hope I can revitalize - I have skin problem that attacks the whole body and itch to death.  Examinations in school today - hard to carry out the assignment, had to come home early.  Home on internet, spent three hours reading your information.  I really want to learn.  When the disease attacks, I cannot study.  Help me.  Look forward to your response.

Dear Mitchell,

I have just found out about you this morning when I was listening to Tony Robbins' speech.  I'm so touched and amazed about you!  You're truly living with passion and love!  I'm going to do the same EVERYDAY because I know nothing can stop me when we choose to find the blessings in each moment, thank you!!!!!   P.S. That is a nice photo of you from Beijing.  I'm from there originally.
With love,

Dear Mitchell,

I read about you in a book "The Road to Success" by Faiez H. Seyal, then I visited your beautiful website.  I must say that you are a huge inspiration to so many people around the world.  I wish we had more people like you around.  Any chances to visit Pakistan?
