Foreword
As a teenager, I thought as a teenager and did as teenagers do. Now to even think about it reminds me of how silly the things I used to do. My convictions were funny, my actions were blind, my heart was so wholly, and I had a box of rocks for a mind.
I regret nothing because I’m logical and know that I cannot go backwards in time. My convictions were funny because every joke contains a seed if not a tree of truth. My actions, though blind, brought me light and sight to lead me to where I am today. My heart was wholly solely to prepare me for the backstabbers with daggers that unbeknownst to me that came at every direction along my way. My mind was safe as a box of rocks, to have both eyes open and still know not.
Since you took the time to read this, I want to personally let you know that this could very well be the best time of your life, not just from reading this book but from digging deeper into yours and others personal thoughts of life. I hope these words either lift you up or maintain your steady flight. I guarantee you difficult times in life, but I also guarantee that if you keep count that there’s more good times than bad times. Success is not inheriting the same situation or blessing as another person. True success is doing what you were brought here on earth to do. Happiness is the feeling of knowing that you have done your best or you are witnessing the best that your eyes have ever seen. I believe happiness and success belong together or they cause inner turmoil which is degrading and deteriorating our society currently.
Read this book to calm your mind or let it motivate you through your day. Share a thought from the book to a friend or at the dinner table. Be conscious that every idea may not be well received to certain people. Defend this book if you feel a conviction to support it as it supports you or join hands with a naysayer and speak ill of it until it suits you.
