…It is for each of you that I’ve written and shared my personal life story. It is my sincerest hope that you may use this story and these words, as well as the knowledge, teachings, and insight contained within, to help you guide yourself through any difficulties, challenges, and adversities you might encounter in each of your respective life journeys. …. I hope you have come to understand that with discipline, dedication, and desire, anything is possible. For, if I can overcome and rise above the adversity and hardship of my own tragic life circumstances, as well as manage to work hard, and constantly strive to change my pre-existing negative thought patterns, attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviours, despite the stigma associated with being labelled and designated as a “dangerous offender,” sentenced to an indefinite term of incarceration that has kept me apart from the rest of society. …. I believe that anything is possible.
And furthermore, I believe that anything is possible for you. Thus, you need to conceive it, believe it, and in time, you will achieve it. This applies to your goals and your dreams. In closing, I hope you use this story and these words as a way for me to metaphorically break a healthy trail for you, for you to use in choosing to take a healthy and positive path in life. I have laid the first few steps for you to follow, now I hope you may choose to lay the next, all for the following generations.
