The Solution
Tier 1: Life Letters (A – Z)
The art of the handwritten letter has been lost. Just look to the life and letters of the brilliant Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790). If you read The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, you’ll come to appreciate the man, his extraordinary times, and the power of a simple, well-written letter.
Taking a page from Dr. Franklin, the Life Letters (A-to-Z) in this book series play with the idiom letters. This word twist encapsulates the old-school, handwritten letter providing sage advice on a specific subject matter, but the book is structured using the twenty-six letters of the alphabet (A-to-Z) for clarity and ease of reference. You can read the Letters alphabetically—or, if you prefer, the Letters are matrixed into three core topics of interest, as follows:
- Wealth
- Wisdom
- Happiness
Tier 2: Paradigm Shift
Each of the twenty-six Letters (A-to-Z) concludes with a Paradigm Shift, which serves as a thought-provoking way to see the topic in a new light. Science defines a paradigm shift as a change in theories (paradigms) within the current ruling mindset. When an old paradigm is replaced, the new one is not just different, it’s better. It becomes the acceptable way.
All of humankind’s intellectual breakthroughs began with a paradigm shift. A modification in beliefs and actions that replaced the previous way of thinking with a new-and-improved way. All that’s required of you is an open mind. Sometimes, you must forget what you think you know in order to grow and get where you want to go. That time has come, here and now.
Tier 3: Wisdom Transfer
It is absurd and tragic how much wisdom is lost from one generation to the next. Equally absurd is how younger generations learn so much as we traverse life’s obstacles, but few stop to selflessly share life lessons for the greater good.
The Life Letters book series is my best attempt to transfer wisdom. Taking it to the next level, I also seek to remedy such wrongs via creating the Wisdom Transfer platform, providing a vehicle for you and others to receive and share your life lessons with the world.

Tier 5: Highest Self
The primary goal of the Life Letters Solution is to help you reach your Highest Self. The Highest Self is an individual who is sufficiently disciplined to manifest a desired future and create their own reality through mindful awareness. Those willing to break society’s compilation of rules to live their optimal Lifestyle Design. A person who understands that one’s destiny is negotiable.
The Highest Self exists because we all need a greater purpose to pursue. The pursuit is like a mysterious, opened door summoning you closer. It wants to show you more of your undiscovered gifts. It calls out like it knows you best—because it does.
While in pursuit of the Highest Self, you can see your future and accept your past, because you’re firmly in the moment, laser-focused on what needs to be done to improve your situation. During the inevitable times when you’re adrift and don’t know what to do, deliberate focus on your Highest Self will see you through.
Pursuit of the Highest Self eradicates perpetual hopelessness and sorrow. You cannot feel lost while in pursuit of your true life’s purpose. Once the quest for the best version of you begins in earnest, you’ll hear it calling and leading you. Nothing in life is more exhilarating or intoxicating than following this calling. One feels truly alive, perhaps for the first time, while in pursuit of their Highest Self.
It’s important to understand that you don’t invent your Highest Self. It already exists within you. Your purpose-driven self lies in wait. As the great artist Michelangelo (1475 – 1564) observed, “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block before I start my work. It is already there; I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.” You, too, are a masterpiece awaiting to be revealed.
You must believe in yourself, as I believe in you!
Let’s do this!
