I am writing this book because I messed up, and if it wasn't for me opening my mind and having a few people around me take the time to truly love me and help me develop, even in my worst times, I would have been a complete failure. Although I cannot physically be involved in your life, I desire that me-taking the time out to put this book together for you-will have the same and even greater impact on your life. As you're reading this book, I want you to remember that no matter where you are in your life, you have hope. If you are not perfect while or after reading this book, no worries because each breath is a new beginning, and no one is perfect to begin with. The main difference between winners and losers is that losers quit. You will never get to where you want to be if you quit. Everyone falls, but champions get back up. Are you a champion? YES! So, let's get back up, and make things happen!
