This book is not just a collection of words; it's a living testament to the people, the moments, and the lessons that have etched themselves into the fabric of my journey. It’s a tribute to the hands that held me when I stumbled, the voices that whispered strength when I wanted to quit, and the hearts that believed in me long before I ever believed in myself.

To my Mama Aleli Tuazon and Papa Edgardo Tuazon, you were my first believers. Thank you for the greatest gift, “LIFE”. For loving me through every version of myself, for your wisdom that became my compass, and your kindness that shaped my heart. Papa, everything I am and everything I aspire to be is rooted in the love, discipline, and strength you modeled so effortlessly.

To my son, Jozef Enzo, you are my WHY, my Home, my Anchor. Your love gives me Strength, your presence gives me Peace, and your unwavering belief in me gives wings to my dreams. This journey would not, and could not be complete without you by my side.

To the dreamers and doers who’ve been a part of this journey, Arleigh Cabanban, Dan Vito Cruz, Ferdinand Minerales, Aura Malute, Meriam Rivera Libradilla, Ruben Jose Abello, and Vince Rivera Libradilla, your stories are flames in the dark, lighting the way for others. You are living proof that resilience and heart can move mountains. Thank you Izle Gee Magnaye for doing your best and helping me finalize this book.

To Brett Swarts, thank you for seeing the light in me when I couldn’t always see it myself. Your mentorship has been one of the cornerstones of my personal and professional growth. Because of your belief, I dared to aim higher and dream bigger.

To Joey Marcelo, your warm welcome and purposeful leadership have made a lasting impression not just on me, but on my entire family. Thank you for showing us what’s possible when vision is led by heart.

To Paul Caluag, thank you for your unwavering support and genuine kindness. You’ve always been someone easy to talk to, a steady presence who listens with sincerity, understanding, and care.

To One Team International, as well as Every Soul who’s been part of my journey, whether it was through a shared lesson, a thoughtful word, or simply standing beside me in silence know that your presence has left a mark on my story.

This book was born from every encouragement, every lesson, every silent prayer, and every step forward we took together.

This is for you, For us! 

… and for every believer who kept going.
