Your Current Circumstances Need Not Dictate Your Future; You Control Your Destiny

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.

In his 30s, following the death of his young daughter and tormented by depression and anxiety, Fuller considered suicide so that his struggling family might benefit from a life insurance policy he had in place. After experiencing a profound epiphany, he analyzed his life through a bright new lens, decided upon a course of action, and embarked on his journey.

It takes courage and tenacity to break free from the chains of negative thinking and chart a brave new course, but the rewards for doing so can be breathtaking.  

—Mike Hazell
