Dear Madeline,
Wherever you find success and happiness, be assured that your
values must also be there if your triumph is to endure. Many people will try to
convince you otherwise-that there are shortcuts, that cheating just a little
along the way does not hurt anyone. They lie. Remain true to yourself,
confident in the knowledge that who you are is the truest measure of how
successful you are.
I hope this book helps to keep you on the right course when others
try to nudge you away from it. We love you and you'll always have a safe
place to return to so long as I live.
Love,
Damian
And with a final prayer of thanks, Maddy switched off the light and
settled into her pillow, filled with renewed hope and optimism for the
adventure about to unfold.
