Aside all obstacles put in his way, he's found a way to overcome each and every one of them. Barry hopes to one day share his positive and motivational message with the world. This book is a representation of what he wants his readers to know. A quote from the man himself: "A diary of my life is a guide for you. It's a day to day depiction of what my life looks like. Not only should you embrace your flaws, but you should intake it as a lesson and learn from them. This book means more to me than just a pencil on paper, it's my life. It's the sole purpose of why God has put me on the earth. It means that today, tomorrow, or the next day, someone will read my words. Someone will take them and embrace them from within and follow this guide I have chosen to give. I don't only want to make a difference in the world, I want to make a difference in people's everyday lives. Writing this book has improved my relationship with God. He has allowed me to accept my truth and live my real-life story as who I am, as a person today. He has also guided me in writing the many different stories throughout this book. It gives examples of racism, goal setting, obstacles, education, love, hate, family, life experience, God and plenty more. These are real topics and stories that people are afraid to admit which is why I'm choosing to bring them to the light. You cannot grow past anything without taking responsibly and fixing the issues. Don't hide your story, it's time to embrace it. You never know who needs to hear it." Barry gives us these words as guidance to any and all people that you don't have to be perfect or have a perfect life to accomplish your dreams. You just need the empowerment and motivation to go get it yourself. You have everything you need inside of you to be great and make a life for you.
