註釋I had a head start on life from the beginning, my parents offered all a kid could want--and more. Disciplined when necessary, too. Yet I wanted more. More what though? I gave up on working regular jobs at minimum wage pretty quick when my long-time friend "Rodeo" offered me a gig as a low-level, dial-a-dope delivery boy. Often making decisions where the risk far outweighed the rewards. Was more money what I was after? Partying must have been my main source of satisfaction because it seemed to be all I wanted to do. The more girls and drugs, the merrier, I thought. But my desires were insatiable. My life was headed in the wrong direction and I did nothing to stop it, I was lost. Then one day while sitting in my truck, without a job, without a girlfriend, without a place to stay that night, I made the worst decision I'd ever made--but it may have been what saved me after all. I wreaked havoc on countless people's lives. Family, friends, strangers, I didn't care. All out of selfishness, then was given serious time by a Supreme Court judge to really get to know myself. Fatefully, I picked up a book in Lethbridge Correctional Centre and it was the first step to discovering the biggest secret of life: how to find that "more" I was always looking for. How to find purpose.
