Stuart believes that “life is all about choices”, however, he didn’t choose to be born premature weighing a mere 3lbs, nor did he choose his home for his first two months of life, as he struggled to survive in Mount Sinai Hospital on Miami Beach. As his body weight fluctuated, he finally gained the additional weight needed(two more pounds now weighing 5lbs.). He was discharged from the hospital, and now under the loving care of his family. Throughout his life, from adolescence to adulthood, he would continue to face life challenges with the same courage and convictions. On some occasions he made difficult choices, which helped him to avoid gang violence, drugs, and juvenile crime. In spite of peer pressure, Stuart fought to survive just as he had fought during his birth. Stuart candidly shares some of the many choices he has made, that have affected the rest of his life. These stories will also impact your life, as he guides you from where you are, to where you desire to be, so you can live a “purpose driven life”.
