If this is the only chance I get to impact you, please let this be your takeaway: there is nothing more important in life than living with purpose. I’ve learned that, in a world that would love to drive us against one another, the most incredible thing we can do is lift each other up, and band together to leave the universe brighter than we found it.

Our flaws and mistakes are easy to find, and being human means that we try and fail more often than we succeed. Life is long, and there’ll be many mistakes as we evolve… but why judge yourself or anyone else based on one snapshot of a life-long movie? My sincere belief is that we are all doing the best we can with what we have, and that, instead of judging others for how many times they’ve fallen, we should be the ones cheering for them to get back up. Because the truth is, every person on Earth serves a unique purpose that only they can fulfill. When we push others down or leave them behind, we’re not only hurting them – we’re also hurting ourselves. The world needs each individual’s purpose to be fully realized, if we’re ever to make this world a better place.

Simply put, I’ve been blessed with a difficult life, and walking through that fire has refined within me a purpose so passionate, that I would sooner die than see it unfulfilled. My purpose, until my last breath, is to ease the suffering of the choice-less humans in this world, and I do that in several ways. I do it by guiding and strengthening good businesses, run by honest people, to allow them the time and resources to do more good. I do it by funding, participating in, and building infrastructure in charities that I believe in. I do it with my voice raised high on any platform that will have me, to share the fire within me, and ignite in others what may have lain dormant for a time.

If you resonate with my passion and purpose, I’d like to personally invite you to join my tribe: we are the #misfitnation, and by combining our individual talents and flaws, we lead a crusade to ease suffering for the hurting, broken, and overlooked.
If this is our only brush with each other in this life, I would ask just one favor of you: stop hiding! You are not broken. You are not fragile. The things you have walked through and the battles you have overcome are the kindling that make you uniquely YOU. Light that fucking thing on fire, because I need you… WE need you… and most of all, YOU need you.
