Where we start in life can be very different from where we end up.
My childhood was far from luxury:
- Threadbare carpets
 - Cold terraced house with ice on the inside of windows
 - Basic, cheap food – “scrap pie” a regular dish of any left food from prior meals
 - Clothes from jumble sales (NEVER new)
 - Limited toys, books, trips
 - No car
 - No telephone landline (before internet / mobile phones!)
 
This was my world. This was my reality.
I left school without a single qualification.
Prospects were for other people. University about as likely as owning the moon.
My new reality:
- Lovely village home surrounded by farmland
 - Wood-burner cosy against the elements outside
 - Nice food to eat
 - Clothes usually new
 - Luxury holidays
 - Luxury car
 - Latest gadgets and tech
 
This is my world. A new reality.
I have a degree and 2 master’s degrees.
Prospects are for whoever wants them. University? – I attended FOUR!
Money doesn’t matter. If I had nothing again tomorrow, I know I can survive.
What does matter is the freedom to follow your dreams.
Do what you set your heart on.
I am not special. I am not here to brag. I have a simple message.
ANYONE can change their life; it is NEVER too late to chase your dreams.
