" I wrote 'Legacy: The Power Within' after
much trial and observation of the Laws of the
Universe, over the years, as I understood
them. The book contains the reiteration of
ancient wisdom, seven steps in goal setting
and problem solving, and some of my own
personal experiences and conclusions."

In 1948 I was born Antoniovito DeLiso, in a
very old and small town in Italy called, Mola
Di Bari. My father brought the family to the
United States when I was barely one year
old. I've been back to Italy to visit my warm
and loving relatives only a few times since
we moved away.
My parents raised my older sister and me in
Chicago. We lived in modest conditions, in a
very average neighborhood. I attended
public school throughout elementary, high
school, and much later in life when I
completed my college education.
For the most part, my elementary school
teachers had low expectation for what my
future might hold. What I heard most of the
time, at parent/teacher conferences, and
there were many, was, "He's smart, but he's
lazy." "He doesn't pay attention, he's always
starring out the window."
I barely managed to graduate high school
and then I joined the Air Force. I did fairly
well in the Air Force. I started to develop a
sense of pride; that I could be someone and
that I could manage responsibility.
Since then, as my life moved forward with
many trying times, and a few encouraging
words from others, I always sought to do
better, to live a better life. I found my path by
trial and error, like most of us do.
I studied martial arts and yoga. I went to
college and studied psychology and many
years later I received a degree in business.
And later still, I received a degree in
teaching.
During all of those years what I truly wanted
to know, what I was searching for, was the
answer to the question; who am I really and
what is spirit? Without my realizing it, all that
I had done, all that I had studied and all of
the people who touched my life, just
naturally brought me closer and closer to
the answer to my question. But a serious
study of this question brought me to writing
this book.
All of the great masters, sages, enlightened
ones and ordinary successful people seem
to be saying the same thing. It is our legacy
to bring into our lives, as Florence
Scovel-Shinn might have put it; health,
wealth, love and perfect self-expression, just
for the asking.
I believe this legacy is within us all, and
therein lays our personal power.
