Mind is the Matter isn’t a self-help book written by a doctor in a clean white coat. It’s written by someone who’s been through the fire—and lived to tell about it.
Eric F. Gilbert knows firsthand what it’s like to battle invisible demons every day. A successful businessman by all appearances, he has spent a lifetime fighting depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts that few ever saw behind the smile.
This book isn’t about theory.
It’s about survival.
It’s about grit.
It’s about how you can still build a powerful, meaningful life—even when the war inside your head never fully goes away.
In these pages, Eric shares the hard-earned truths, strategies, and mindsets that kept him standing when everything inside him wanted to give up. He tells the truth about struggle—and the truth about hope. About how real strength isn’t found in pretending you’re okay, but in fighting through the days you’re not.
If you’ve ever wondered if you were the only one struggling behind a successful life—this book is for you.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up—this book is for you.
If you’re still breathing—you’re still winning.
Mind is the matter.
And you are stronger than you know.
You don’t need funding, connections, or a fancy degree — just the grit to start.

Fishing the Gulf Coast of Florida, especially around Tampa Bay, is more than just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. For me, it’s been a lifelong passion, forged in the early mornings casting lines on the grass flats, and late nights off the Skyway Bridge, and refined over years of navigating these rich waters. From the winding mangroves to the open flats and piers that stand like sentinels along the shore, this region offers an incredible variety of opportunities for anglers. And let’s not forget—the views here are nothing short of paradise. The Skyway Bridge arches gracefully over turquoise waters, a backdrop so perfect it almost feels unreal.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or someone holding a rod for the first time, Tampa Bay has something to offer. You’ll find fish that will push your tackle to its limits, like the mighty snook or tarpon, and others that are pure fun, like ladyfish and jacks. But fishing here isn’t just about the catch—it’s about learning the rhythms of the water, respecting the wildlife, and embracing the camaraderie of the angling community.
This guide is built on years of my own experiences, with everything from battling 15-foot waves in Tampa Bay to designing fishing products tailored to these waters. Together, we’ll explore every corner of this angler’s paradise, breaking down the techniques, tackle, and tactics needed to succeed, all while sharing stories that bring the adventure to life. With every chapter, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge to cast your line with purpose and enjoy every moment on the water.
So grab your gear and let’s dive in. The waters of Tampa Bay are calling.
What is faith? The Bible says that ‘faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). It does not exclude faith to only spiritual stuff. We act in faith every day of our lives. You flip the light switch expecting the lights to turn on, and are only surprised if it doesn’t work. Faith is not some secret potion you can whip up any time you want something. Just as you cannot simply tell yourself that there is a pen in your hand and expect it to be there magically. Faith is more like a skill that you develop through time and exposure. Try faith in Jesus Christ today, and you will open up a whole new eternity for your life!
Know where your life is taking you. If you do not take the time to look at where you are and compare it to where you want to be then where will you go in life?
What kind of person do you want to be known as? What kind of memories do you want to leave behind? Is there a mark or legacy that you would like to leave behind when you are gone?
If when you look at your life you are happy and fulfilled in every area of importance, then you should change nothing. If that is not the case then you should be looking for change.
