experiences
  in
  your
  life,
  and
  turning
  them
  into

something
  posiGve,”
  RJ
  offered.
  It
  is
  about
  growing

and
  changing
  as
  an
  individual,
  so
  everyone
  does
  not

have
  to
  read
  the
  book
  and
  expect
  to
  have
  the
  same

perspecGve.”

 Not
 only
 does
 every
 person
 who
 considers
 a

quesGons
  come
  up
  with
  a
  different
  answer,
  but
  a

person
 who
 considers
 the
 same
 quesGon
 at
 different

points
  in
  their
  life
  will
  find
  that
  their
  answer
  will

change
 as
 they
 grow
 and
 evolve,
 RJ
 said.

  “This
  is
  one
  of
  the
  reasons
  that
  I
  work
  to

avoid
  puung
  certain
  Gmes
  and
  dates
  in
  my
  wriGngs,

because
 I
 don’t
 want
 to
 limit
 the
 wriGngs
 to
 a
 certain

period
  of
  Gme,”
  RJ
  said,
  adding
  that
  the
  modified

ankh
  symbol
  on
  the
  book’s
  cover
  reflects
  this

principle.

 “The
 ankh
 symbol
 that
 I
 use
 is
 adapted
 from

eternal
  life
  to
  reflect
  eternal
  love,”
  he
  said.
  “Love
  is

the
 key
 to
 everything.”

  RJ
  hopes
  that
  when
  people
  read
  the
  book,

they
 will
 idenGfy
 with
 the
 key
 elements
 –
 eternal
 life,

eternal
 love,
 hope,
 and
 happiness.

 “I
 don’t
 want
 people
 to
 just
 read
 the
 book,
 I

want
  them
  to
  use
  it
  in
  their
  everyday
  lives,”
  he
  said,

adding
  that
  the
  book
  reflects
  his
  goal
  to
  share
  his

purpose
 in
 life.
 “I
 believe
 that
 I
 was
 put
 on
 this
 Earth

to
  help
  people
  become
  bemer,
  and
  achieve
  what
  they

want
 to
 achieve.”

  The
  book’s
  message,
  combined
  by
  the

example
  he
  personally
  sets,
  should
  serve
  as
  an

inspiraGon
 for
 everyone,
 he
 said.

 “I
 have
 overcome
 my
 disability
 and
 all
 of
 the

obstacles
 that
 have
 been
 set
 before
 me,”
 he
 said.
 “For

people
 that
 say
 I
 can’t
 do
 this
 or
 I
 can’t
 do
 that,
 I
 want

them
 to
 realize
 that
 if
 I
 can
 do
 everything,
 then
 so
 can

you.”
