Dear Alex,

It’s me, Alex,

I’m you 10 years from now. I just attended a great event where I asked a question
about ‘arriving’ in terms of success to a panel and someone said I should write you
a letter to acknowledge where I’ve come from in the past 10 years.

I know you very well. So I wanted to share some things with you from where I am
standing 10 years later. Where do I start? Right now you think you know
everything. And as you read these words, you are probably thinking, “What? No I
don’t.” But trust me. I know you do. I am you remember?

And the truth is, that’s okay. Because where you go and what you do is perfect for
where you are.

Right now you are about to start and end a career as a security guard. And you’re
working for a good wage. And that’s good. But that will change very soon. Lol. Oh
boy will that change.

Don’t be scared. Be strong. You are special. You are a leader. I know right now you
don’t know this but you see this as potential in yourself. Fret not, it will be realized.
You will be a shining light in many a dark situation. 

Soon, you will meet a mentor who will provide you with opportunity after
opportunity. And the good news is you will take them all.

You will impress those who doubt you and make many around you believe that you
can do anything. Your parents will be very proud.

You will rock the world of security, loss prevention and leadership as well as
management as you understand it now. And you will do well. People will look up to
you and you will deal with many, many tough situations. No it doesn’t end. I’m
sorry. But people will look at you and say that you are mature. And you are.

But you’re incredibly stubborn and a little naive. Yes, I said it: Naive. I know you
hate that word…

You are about to embark on an abundant financial path and work very hard for it.
Good on ya! You will be rewarded. You’re going to achieve a lot because of your
honesty, sincerity and hard work. Don’t spend it all in one place.

You’re a good guy and you are loved. You’re very looked after.

PS: Don’t take everything so seriously. At the moment, you can be very heavy and
significant often. Thankfully, at 28 years old, you’ll learn that life doesn’t have to
be all that way and you can choose how you want to live.

Enjoy the next 10 years…

Your friend in need,

Alex
