My life has been much like this Rubik's cube. At first they are all mixed up, filled with cracks that you twist to try to put it together. For me it was very frustrating. The beginning of my life was very twisted, cracked up and mixed up. I was heavily involved in gangs, had to fight everyday or I wasn't happy. I was in so much pain that I had to see others in pain as well. I spent most of my youth in juvenile halls, camps and prison. Many receiving this bulletin are blood relatives and you know exactly what I am talking about. I was filled with anger, hatred, rage and violence and lived the beginning of my life with a death wish. I was one of those who would take a knife to a gun fight just for fun. Long story short many people came into my life who gave me an uplifting word, a word of encouragement or just plane constructive criticism in a way that I wouldn't feel disrespected and hurt them. At first that Rubik's cube is very frustrating and it takes a lot of work to make it into what it is suppose to be. My life has been twisted, mixed up, cracked and messed up but a day came when I was healed. When the rubics cube of my life was put together and then all of a sudden my life made sense. As I look out in the world there are many who are still having their lives twisted and unfortunately many give up and throw the Rubik's cube called their life away. One of my favorite sayings is that if you move just one grain of sand the world will never be the same. Many will see and read this message. I ask each of you that reads this message to make a difference in one persons life and then challenge them to make a difference in someones life. Together we can make a difference in this world and make it a better place to live.
