I wrote this book as a motivational tool for a specific audience: Individuals who have experienced, and are still experiencing, risk factors hindering them from achieving their goals. Individuals who have given up on trying to become a better person. Individuals who allow themselves to be conquered by circumstances beyond their control. Individuals who are allowing societal and research statistics to dictate their future. Individuals who continue to struggle with feelings of worthlessness and low self-esteem. Last, but not least, I wrote this book to encourage individuals who have the desire to move beyond past hurts and pain, failures, and doubts, but put limitations on their capability to do so. It is my prayer and sincere desire that this book will empower you to start your journey.
