"I want to empower others to think, enrich their own lives and be proud of what they have accomplished. Far too many people believe that they lack willpower, yet the exhibit willpower every day within their life. I want to show people that they can harness their natural willpower to take control over their life.
I want to help them help themselves. Reliance on systems, programs and outside powers only saps a person of their self-esteem. While we all need support, guidance and fellowship at times, the individual must ultimately become personally responsible and accountable for their own behavior. This builds pride, which then creates a feeling of genuine self-esteem."
