Solution

             They say give your best work away for free. This is the best work I’ve ever created in my whole entire life. This is my whole life…
             This is for everyone who looks at the world from a different perspective. For everyone who still believes in his or her dreams. In a life worth living. This is for everyone who’s restless. For everyone who strives for change. For everyone who doesn’t accept the way, things work today. Who doesn’t accept the status quo? This is for the ones who challenge the norm. The ones who break down existing barriers.The ones who make the impossible possible. This is for the ones most people would call crazy. This is for people just like you and me…
          On June 29th I published a blog post with the title “I’m everywhere and nowhere. And I own nothing and everything”. I had so much more to say. But for some reason, I just didn’t. Maybe I was afraid. Maybe I was too scared. I don’t know. And for some reason on July 31st, I had to think about it again. And for another or the same reason I decided to extend this one blog into an entire book.
          A book I would write in just 30 days. So I did it. On August 1st I wrote and published the first part. And for the next 30 days, I wrote and published one part of that book on my blog and here on Medium. And on day 31 I put everything together into an ebook and sent it out to everyone who pre-ordered it.
   And today, a little over a month later I’ve decided to put it on Medium in its entirety. I know it’s long, but I feel that this is the best way to read it in its entirety here on Medium. What if I would have done this little earlier......I really doubt if things could have turned out any better.
