Hi, I'm M. Aurelius Higgs
I have one focus—to secure your family relationships through your words.At Certain Future Press we secure your parent-child relationships through your unique generational stories and create a 'growth mindset culture' in your home.Why?
Because of these two kids, right here...
Along with life, my father gave me 3 invaluable gifts:
1. He gave me a love of learning.
2. He gave me a good name (Yes, that is my birth name.)
3. He gave me his story—and the honor to narrate the audiobook.
Along with life, my mother blessed me with 3 more priceless gifts:
1. She gave me a love of life.
2. She gave me an example of 'perseverance beyond belief'.
3. She gave me her story in her journals and a reason to serve the world.
My life flourishes because of everything my parents gave me.
Now, in my words and work, I give back to honor my father and mother.Through my multi-national parents, siblings, aunties, uncles, elders, mentors, caregivers, and so on—because of the collective wisdom passed down in their stories, their diverse experiences, and in their insights, they have helped shape my character and the man I'm proud to be today.They showed me how to be 'stress progressive'; manage, leverage, and grow from the necessary pressures of life.Being connected to my community has given me the foundation to strive and inspire others, because I knowLife supports those who support Life —And when we support, strengthen and uplift others, we create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond our immediate circles.That's why I help your family capture and pass on your 'growth stories'.Because if you and your family can resonate with your own empowering narratives,
it can change
- your home,
- your community,
and even
- your nation.You may say I'm a dreamer or even a 'crazy one', but hey...
...it's even possible our
words can change
our world.

The Problem
Adolescence is a period of profound transformation, marked by growing independence, identity formation, and the anticipation of future responsibilities.However, many contemporary teenagers grapple with significant challenges:Apathy: A pervasive lack of motivation, engagement, or interest in activities, learning, or future planning.
Anxiety: Excessive worry, stress, and apprehension, often focused on future uncertainties, academic pressures, social comparisons, and life decisions.These challenges can hinder development, impact well-being, and leave adolescents feeling unprepared for a rapidly changing world.
