What Do 4 Orphans and Bill Gates Have in Common?
They want to save the world.
The world is in trouble. It always is. Someone or something wants to ruin your good time. Wants to take away your lunch. But you won’t let that happen. That’s your lunch. And if they’re so intent on taking something from you, you’ll be happy to give them a bite of your knuckle-sandwich.
Yes, the world is in trouble. And it’s up to you to save it.
Because if not you, then who? After all, you are the hero of the story. Without you, evil would rule. Babies would cry. Ice cream would melt. But being the hero isn’t always easy. Through the very nature of the hero’s journey, you must face obstacles in order to succeed. Doubt and uncertainty are required, despite your confidence. It’s the only way.
But, when you stand atop the mountain, trophy in hand, wrongdoers vanquished, it will all be worth it.
