Do you know that you are where you are and who you are today because of the sum total of your decisions and actions since you became conscious of what is wrong and/or right? I wish I had known this when I was still a teenager, but unfortunately nobody told me. This led me to make many mistakes, some of which I am still paying for today. Looking back at my past I can only say I wish I knew then what I know now, but I do not regret because without those lessons, this book would not be here today.Everything you do or should do but you don’t do today will impact your tomorrow soon enough. Question is, will it be a positive impact or a negative impact? That is why it is very important for you to make a conscious decision to take full responsibility for your decisions and indecisions, actions and inactions every single day of your life.To help you start this process of taking responsibility, in the book The ROUTEEN: A Winning Routine For Teens & Young Adults, I have shared various lessons I’ve learned over the years that have shaped the person I am today. I honestly believe that if I had known those things then, I would have avoided many mistakes I made along the way, though I am glad they turned out to be a message for the younger generation. As you read the book, I hope you will become wiser than I was then. As you read, you will notice that the name of the book has inspired its chapters. I converted the name into the acronym R.O.U.T.E.E.N. which stands for:•Regular Routine•Overcoming Obstacles•Unwavering Understanding•Transformed Thinking•Earn Experience•Extraordinary Excellence•Non-Negotiable NO!May the lessons you learn from this book ignite a fire in you that will inspire you to seek transformation from the inside out, a transformation that will influence every one of your decisions and actions from today. Be ignited. Be inspired. Be influenced. Become the best version of yourself you can ever be.
