I Was Born to Lose, But I Chose to Win

The world is quick to have you believe that where you come from dictates where you are going. Specifically, the world tells you that if you have never seen success or did not come from success, you will never be successful. After all, nothing from nothing leaves nothing, right? Wrong, I am living proof that you can come from nothing and achieve anything. Throughout this book, I will use my personal life experiences and original poetry to deliver a message of hope and inspiration, and I will also provide specific instructions that will guide you to and through the journey that leads to success. I will explain how I used the power of hope and choice to survive and flourish despite being born with heroin in my system, being abandoned by my mother, never knowing my father, being subjected to physical, mental and emotional abuse and molestation, living in poverty and enduring the foster care system before finally being adopted. After reading this book, you will be motivated, encouraged and inspired to make the choice today to let go of yesterday s disappointments and work toward tomorrow s success.
