Why bother?
I have those days when my lizard brain asks me if all this hard work is justified. Demanding some proof that whatever I'm doing is worth it. And it's testing me to see if I have the commitment to see my dreams realised. It won't be the last or first time that discouragement rears its ugly head in my affairs; that's why I'm prepared for it.
I tell myself that I'm 'The One.'

In my mind's eye, I recall sitting on my Dad's lap in the dimly lit living room, watching 'Duppy Films,' my Dad's genre definition for Horror Films - on TV. My parents were Jamaican immigrants with hearts filled with dreams and hands calloused from years of hard living. Mom and Dad, like countless others of their generation, possessed little to no formal education. Theirs was a story of toil and sacrifice, where every opportunity was seized with both hands, no matter how small. As I watched horror films with my Dad, I didn't realise the weight of their aspirations rested upon my shoulders and that one day, I would transcend the boundaries of my family's history through the power of storytelling.

The idea of being 'The One' was given structure in my head through the sci-fi franchise The Matrix. In the realm of legendary cinematic tales, this is in my top ten. Neo represented that chosen individual destined to bring about profound change in a world controlled by unseen overlords. But what if I told you that you, too, have the potential to be 'The One' in your own life? Imagine being the person who propels your family to heights that have never been achieved in generations before. Being "The One" in this context is not a far-fetched notion; it's an attainable goal that you can strive for, one that can reshape your family's legacy.

But why?
Why not?

The allure of becoming 'The One' lies in the profound impact you can have on your family's legacy. It's about transcending the ordinary, breaking free from limitations, and creating a path that future generations will aspire to follow or build on. Being the catalyst for unprecedented success is not just about personal glory; it's about leaving a lasting mark on your family's history.
That reason alone is priceless.

What will you do to improve your family's fortunes?

I chose writing, and through ambitious goals, continuous learning, persistence, resilience and taking calculated risks, I've made some legacy-defining advances. One of the top five most important things you will ever do is decide on your life goal. You need to choose that one thing you are willing to give your life for. That thing you will be known for because it is your legacy to the world. It's never a straight path to this realisation, but the circuitous ups and downs are more than worth it. Whether financial, social or spiritual, your entire life will be committed to this goal in good times or bad. And in my estimation, that is a life well lived.

Today, as I reflect on my journey, I am humbled by my progress. I have become 'The One' in my family's success story, breaking free from the mould of expectation and forging a once unimaginable path. My stories have found their way into the hands of readers worldwide, and I am no longer an unknown quantity.

As I gaze back at my parents' sacrifices and the small steps that brought me here, I am reminded that being 'The One' is not about grand gestures but about unwavering dedication, persistence, and belief in one's potential. It is a journey we can all embark upon, regardless of our background or circumstances.

So, to all those dreamers from humble beginnings, take heart. Embrace your uniqueness, harness the power of your heritage, and let your passion for your craft propel you forward. Be 'The One' in your family's success story, and let your journey inspire generations to come.

Be Your Own Hero.
