From Rags To Riches.

Hallifax, CanadaWorked as a waiter, now a successful streamer.
My parents divorced and I was lost. I had no idea where I was going, or what to do with myself. I was angry at everyone around. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant and I always enjoyed playing video games.
That year a game called Starcraft 2 came out and I started playing it. As a black gamer I had slim chances of ever getting to be famous. Everything changed when I watched The Secret.
I set a goal for myself so high, that if I achieved it, I would know I found out The Secret to happiness and success.
That goal was to earn money by playing video games.
At that time only professional gamers were making money and most of them were Koreans. I started with a dream and it seemed impossible.
The same year “streaming” was introduced to the world. A stream is where a person shows himself and plays a game on the internet. My audience grew rapidly, and soon I was one of the top streamers. Now I have over 30,000 subscribers. I bought my dream house, car, am engaged and have a wonderful dog named Thor.
I have the most loyal fans in the scene, I play video games for a living. I got everything I’ve ever wanted and dreamed of.
Set high goals guys. Believe you will get there. Even if you don’t get exactly what you asked for, you will get someplace good, I guarantee you that.
My whole life changed and the only question I have is: how much better can it get?
