I have always been fascinated with history, but recently came across an epiphany for my life's work: forward-thinking focus on the future is more important. This shift from past to future mustn't be jarring, as we can learn much by looking back and applying it to what's ahead.

But I've reached the conclusion that I want to live in a world of possibility. We inhabit a world with its fair share of perils, and it can become overwhelming and drive fatalism or acceptance.

I choose to focus on the lead measures, not the lag, and to contribute to solutions that currently do not yet exist. The future isn't easy, but with awareness and consideration, we can craft one of hope, equality, justice, and yes, possibility.
