My friend Bill Hatfield met me for lunch at Bogart’s the other day.
We were talking about my goals for "Your Life's Great Purpose".
In walked two friends from a special place, Glenforest School.
Glenforest students are bright but can’t make it in public school.
Their brains are wired differently. They learn differently.
Dr. Gillian Barclay-Smith is the head lady there.
Barton Calvert is her right-hand man.
They joined us and the conversation about my new book.
Gillian grew excited and wanted a copy. I gave them both a copy.
We talked about introducing the book to their students.
Was that simply a chance encounter? I don't believe so.
Why did Bill and I decide to go to Bogart’s that day?
Why did Gillian and Barton make the same decision?
You might call it luck. I call it Divine intervention.
Often in life, a higher power steps in and makes things happen.
My goals, as you probably already know, are two:
1. Help young people find their direction and purpose in life.
We’re all here for a purpose. We just have to find what it is.
2. Make a dent in illiteracy and help kids with learning disabilities.
42 million Americans can’t read. 2 million more join them each year.
This is a national disgrace. We’re going to do something about it.
We’re going to sell 20 million books to raise $200 million.
That will help millions whose lives will be enriched by reading.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about what you can get out of this book.
