All proper change requires starting with the foundation. 
 
After writing my book, “The Making of a Man,” I decided to revisit my youth when the most attention and work was needed: my youth.
 
I spent so much time in adulthood learning valuable lessons I should have learned as a youth that I struggled for a very long time to make sense of the man I was becoming because I never made peace with the inner child in me struggling to adjust over the years.
 
I grew up in an era where thinking you had tomorrow to adapt, change, and grow was an error.
I lost many friends in my youth who never made it to adulthood. I also see many of my associates struggling in adulthood because they were unwilling to change.
 
  I learned to understand that I had to make the needed changes in my life if I was not going to become another statistic.
 
I am no math mathematician, but I can quickly tell when things are not adding up. Holding onto my stubbornness and pride subtracted more from my life than they added.
 
In this book, you will discover how my co-authors and I learned to make tough decisions that became easier when we decided to face and address everything that once made us run and hide.
 
You can never overcome anything you are unwilling to face.
