Using adversity to find passion and
purpose
Cornell Bunting is an author and motivational speaker who connects to his
audience through his words. The power of his writing inspires and entertains
children and adults alike. But few know the catalyst behind his brilliant
writing, poetry, and inspirational speaking. It is because of his own harrowing
story, one of survival, inspiration and motivation, that Bunting found the urge
to reach as many people as possible. He has extended his reach through his
nonprofit organization EHAS. EHAS is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
Because Bunting believes in the possibility of using this organization to create
self-reliance and a growth mindset for disadvantaged youths, he set upon a
mission to empower the youths to create a healthy mindset of value and self-
reliance. The vision behind that goal is to teach the youths how to use the
adversity in their lives to find purpose through their unique stories.

5. Bunting is no stranger to adversity. Years ago, he was framed and spent time in
jail for a series of crimes he did not commit. The crimes comprised 16 felony
charges that put Bunting behind bars for ten months facing 32 years to life in
prison. During that time in jail, while things were first confusing to him,
Bunting witnessed a miracle. His life suddenly came into perspective and he
was able to acknowledge his purpose. In jail, he would come to understand the
importance of writing his stories, sharing them, and seeing how those around
him had their own stories despite the crimes they committed. He understood
that their current situation did not cancel their purpose. There was always a
reason why they went astray. He wondered if he could develop some sort of
intervention at that important intersection point, he could help many kids
never have to grow up to see the inside of a prison cell.
He decided to open an organization to help at-risk youth. T h o u g h t EHAS, he
could spare many of these young people from a terrible fate. More importantly,
they would be able to share their stories and help even more youth. Because of
how he reconnected to his writing while he was behind bars, Bunting developed
the ability to listen to the young mind in prison.
They were raw and undeveloped, but had great promise and potential. From
that, he knew how important it was to develop. This was not just about
lessening crime and imprisonment. That was the bonus. The real prize is that
youth were guided in discovering their purpose and the many ways they could
add great value to society.

6. This was the impetus behind EHAS and the force that gave birth to its mission.
Bunting wanted to ensure the organization would empower storytellers who are
creating or expanding self-sustaining communities that benefit other youth. The
organization would also cultivate a purpose-driven mindset through mental
wellness and financial literacy. As he built his team, he searched for people who
would help reach the younger mindset. He partnered with other organizations to
help bring great value to his vision. The story creators program started to take
shape as a program that consists of four initiatives:
1. Using adversity to find purpose
2. Developing Critical thinking skills
3. Valuing Friends and family
4. Learning Financial literacy

8. This program/workshop will help youths understand how their mindsets
contribute to their success and failures. The workshop will help to fix broken
mindsets that seek to convince kids that their minds are inherently negative.
Instead, they will learn a growth mindset — one that helps the youth to trust and
believe in their qualities and supports them as they develop over time through
hard work and dedication. Practicing, they learn, is the key to mastery. EHAS will
help youths look for opportunities to challenge themselves to learn and improve.
They will utilize feedback as a tool for growth. The result of this program will be
that young people and adults alike will embrace a mindset for better
relationships and more motivated, productive, and resilient lives.
Because of how Bunting suffered in his life and nearly lost is all, he knows that
life is about one thing above all else: purpose. For the one who has found
purpose, life is beautiful. For the one living devoid of purpose, life can be
intolerable. The program centers on purpose in those four key initiative areas to
kickstart the growth mindset. It starts with Bunting’s Book “Escaping the
Darkness” which has ten chapters and ten lessons on how to use adversity to find
purpose. The users will be given examples of typical life challenges and will be
provided with practical tools for dealing with them. It also contains practice
questions and discussion topics from the workshops.

9. Users learn how to change the narrative of their lives by finding passion and
purpose from their adversity. The course goes into how to help youths think
critically which includes a full spectrum of understanding the decision-making
process. Study of decision- making is combined with rich discussion topics from
the workbook. They will gain insight on their life choices and what consequences
those choices bring. They will understand how important it is to strive when they
and their families have the support they need. This program will help youths
understand how to engage, support, and partner with their parents and other
trusted adults to achieve the best outcome.
The final part of the program will help them with foundational principles and
effective tools for financial management, budgeting, and investing so they can
have an appreciation of their relationship with money, providing the opportunity
to improve quality of life.
Bunting and the EHAS team seek to partner with organizations and individuals
that understand the value of youths and what it looks like to help develop their
mindset in these critically important areas. Anyone who is interested in
