successful?" It's a thought Sheen doesn't entertain for too long, though. "If you can come back from a tragedy, I think it says something. I could cower from his death or say I'm not going to help people because it hurts me. But we're making a difference in people's lives. I think that's a good thing. So I won't stop." There's another, even more tangible motivator that keeps Sheen going when the going gets tough. It's also what keeps him cognizant of the fact that he has to take care of himself so he doesn't burn out or snap under pressure. To find it, he needs only to open his inbox. Thousands of emails and comments from becauseisaidiwould. com stream in on any given day. Many contain words of encouragement, telling Sheen to keep up the good work. Some emailers talk about how they've been inspired to take their commitments to the next level. And then there are the messages from people who are hurting-due to drug and alcohol addiction, sexual or domestic abuse, or self-harm-but who have found real healing through the promise cards. This level of emotional intensity is the part of the job Sheen finds himself least prepared for. But at the same time, these messages, more than anything, show him the importance of promises fulfilled and the glimmer of hope they can provide. "That's why I can take promises more seriously. Because I am reading these promises," he says as he clicks through the inbox, message after message from all corners of the globe scrolling by. "When I read these, I can't be the same person."
