After entering into this existence just over 38 years ago and spending most of those years in a general state of dissatisfaction, frustration, loneliness, unhappiness and confusion with this existence, this world, I found myself in a position where I had three options to resolve this.

I could try to accept this existence that I am in, with all of its beauty as well as its flaws. After all, once you accept something you somehow become a part of it and something is far easier to live with once you feel it is a part of you.

I could try to leave this existence that I am in. Of course I would be leaving behind all its beauty but I would also be leaving behind all of its flaws, which seem to be getting worse every time I turn on the news.

I found myself staring straight at the third option; immediately followed with my mind being flooded with endless questions. I could try to change this existence. I could try to address the flaws. But how? Where do I start?

All I knew was I wanted to change things for the better for everyone. I wanted to change the world into how I would have wanted it to be when I was born into it, if I had had the opportunity to choose what world I was born into.

This was the day when I decided what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be.

This was the day when I decided to become an author and philanthropist.

Nothing is impossible. Everything is possible.
