But tonight, I had done something useful for myself. And I was beginning to understand that rebuilding my life would not happen through one dramatic decision. It would happen through hundreds of small ones. One boundary. One opportunity. One choice at a time.

"First, around my family's modest Texas holdings. Then, around my own ambitions. And finally, around the truth of who I am. I built them of money, of influence, of raw, compelling will.
