Turn<strong>in</strong>g life around with simple message<br />
ByAnnL.Fouty<br />
Features Editor<br />
When 49-year-old Paul Wedd<strong>in</strong>g graduated<br />
from high school, he admittedly got <strong>in</strong>to some<br />
bad habits.<br />
, Those habits resulted <strong>in</strong> his homelessness, he<br />
said, until he had a spiritual awaken<strong>in</strong>g April 19,<br />
2Q03. After years of ignor<strong>in</strong>g a message to write<br />
a book, Wedd<strong>in</strong>g penned "If You Only Knew<br />
What You Already Know" <strong>in</strong> 2008. Sterl<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Heights book publisher Harmonic Park Press<br />
picked it up with<strong>in</strong> two days of Wedd<strong>in</strong>g's submission,<br />
A former resident of Grosse Po<strong>in</strong>te Park and<br />
son of a police officer, Wfedd<strong>in</strong>g has s<strong>in</strong>ce turned<br />
his life around and settled <strong>in</strong> Sterl<strong>in</strong>g Heights,<br />
though admits he misses the Grosse Po<strong>in</strong>tes.<br />
Wedd<strong>in</strong>g is now a speaker, radio show host and<br />
author.<br />
His 168-page book expla<strong>in</strong>s the necessity of<br />
"shedd<strong>in</strong>g components of ego and gett<strong>in</strong>g back<br />
to the natural self," he said.<br />
Wedd<strong>in</strong>g said the five components are: I am<br />
what 1 have; I am what I do; I am what others<br />
th<strong>in</strong>k of me; I am separate from others; I am<br />
separate from God.<br />
Instead of worry<strong>in</strong>g about other people's<br />
op<strong>in</strong>ion of us, he said we should be liv<strong>in</strong>g "authentically,<br />
liv<strong>in</strong>g through purpose."<br />
Wedd<strong>in</strong>g said people know <strong>in</strong>st<strong>in</strong>ctively how<br />
to treat others.<br />
"We know what is best for others," he said.<br />
When that m<strong>in</strong>d-set is put <strong>in</strong>to play, "th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
will be better for you," he said. "People are the<br />
greatest resource. People aren't paper towels,"<br />
Wedd<strong>in</strong>g said.<br />

Human Spirit can be heard from 2 to 3 p.m.<br />
