I have done
so much in the first 20 years of my adult life. I want to use those experiences
to help others excel in their professional and personal live and not make the
same mistakes that I have. I have worked
in various settings with people of varying ages, colors, religions, economic
background, political views, sexual orientations, and criminal histories.
Through that, I have been able to successfully work with them all in order to
accomplish the goals set in front of me. At this stage in my life, I care less
about making a name and more about creating a legacy. I have a wife, 3
children, nieces and nephews, godchildren, as well as the kids that I have
either taught, coached, mentors, or have worked with. I want to do something
that can inspire, motivate, and make a difference. So many people have an
opportunity to do that and choose not to. While initially my motivation was
fame and success, I understand that sometimes you can’t escape your destiny. I
want to use the rest of my life to become someone whose works and visions can
withstand the test of time. If not by me directly, then through those that are
inspired by something that I have done, said, or showed them.
I have
promise myself that I will not be scared to try something new. I will not be
scared to fail. I will not be scared to succeed. If I don’t try, then I have done something
worse than failing. I have given up before I ever tried. That is not who I want
to be, that is not want I want to portray, and that is not the example I want
to set. I cannot promise that I will get it right or that my actions will
always be correct or just. What I can promise is that if I fall, I will get
back up. I will keep trying to get better, to get stronger, and be a beacon for
those who need my help, my support, or my knowledge.
