The author had his fair share of struggles right from his childhood. He was abused by his father, faced racism, and was bullied.

The author questions the readers in the book were you beaten? Abused? Bullied? Did you ever feel insecure?

Maybe your limiting factor is that you grew up so supported and comfortable, you never pushed yourself?

The author challenges the readers to break out a journal, laptop, tablet, or notes app on the smartphone.

He further insists—

• Do not be bland with this assignment. I showed you every piece of my dirty laundry.
• If you were hurt or are still in harm's way, tell the story in full.
• Give your pain shape. Absorb its power, because you are about to flip that shit.

The assignment further challenges you to note down a list of excuses, the very good reasons why you shouldn't amount to a damn thing, to fuel your ultimate success

For some it may mean login onto social media, posting a picture, and writing out a few lines about how your past or present circumstances challenge you to the depth of your soul. If that's you, use the hashtags #badhand #canthurtme.

Otherwise, acknowledge and accept it privately. Acting upon this assignment will empower you to overcome.
