I’m a bit intense of a person


You may have noticed I’m a bit intense of a person.

Why am I intense?

Not tense. But intense. 

I know my beliefs on such matters are not popular nor common. I ask you, is success common? Do most people have what they want? Are most people happy, thriving, vibrating with energy, exploding with vitality? Take stock of all the people you know. Average out their level of happiness and success. Is that good enough for you? If you’re ambitious, full of hope and dreams, the average should scare you. And so, of course, the anomalies to the average will seem bizarre, uncommon, weird and different. If success were easy, if I were common, everyone would have it! 

For your consideration. For you to consider. 

I will assume that there are people here who are filled with dreams and hope. Have goals and ambitions.
And my goal is to open new ways of thinking, new realities for you to consider. I was a young man living in the projects of Toronto. Our household income was so low that our rent was subsidized by the government. At lunch, I used to eat the crust from my friends’ pizza slices. I was independent and didn’t want to be a burden to my already hardworking immigrant parents. 

I don’t share this with you for you to feel sorry for me, nor do I need anyone to acknowledge my transition to wealth. The point I’m making here is that change is possible. Wild, unimaginable change, success in life, professionally, personally, in all areas of life, is possible. And surprisingly, in North America, it’s getting easier.
