First of all, I had been Sexually, Emotionally, and physically abused in my young, tender years, and I chose to forgive. I was suicidal, in which I did not have any hope for the future! I did not have, back then, when I was younger, a lot of emotional, Mental, and spiritual support until I moved in with my grandmother. For some reason, I was not well liked, and I endured rejection most of my life but G-d of Heavens Through my faith, Dedication, Hard work, Discipline and forgiving others I have accomplished much.

We’d love to hear what you think about risk-taking.
In life and after death, you will be remembered for two things and two things only: The problem solved all the problems you created. Everything in life is a risk, and there is no guarantee. I have published over 25 books, Travel around the world, being a formal correctional officer, my take on taking risk is that you don’t know if something works until you try it. I have been a risk taker all my life and, in the process, and journey I have failed many times, but I’ve always been relentless believing in myself, regardless the obstacle. I have learned through time that we have to take risks (As long as you’re not hurting yourself or others) in which at that time they may not make sense, but time will reward you for your efforts. Never stop believing, never stop trying and forgive yourself as others as well. I have gone against Organized religion, Criticism, and even persecution in all shapes and forms. We must be relentless and never quit. Let criticism become your fuel and energy to continue forth. And I have always been a risk taker, Going against the grain, even against organized, religious, and emotional, Mental, and financial hurdles. I say do it afraid as Long that you’re not hurting anyone else. Forgiveness is key! Forgive yourself and others… Speak well of yourself! Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the past, Live the present, and wait and expect good results in the future. Be relentless and forgive yourself! At times, you must become a risk-taker… Forgive yourself and others as well! Everything in life is a risk, and there are no guarantees… But just do it! Overcome your fear! Forgive yourself and give yourself a chance!
