MY DREAM SAVED ME

When life knocks you senseless, and the tides of struggle and exhaustion are sucking you under, extracting what little oxygen you have left!


YOU have only 2 choices...



YOU GIVE UP!


OR


YOU GET UP!



Like many of you, I know how this feels...I was there recently in October 2020...


My mind, and my nervous system could not take another blow of hardship and injustice.


For 4 days my tumultuous emotions ripped through me without remorse, and every phone-call I made, for 2 days solid, during this crisis, got me nowhere!


On day 5 I walked to the train station...


But I couldn't do it!


Some would say I had no courage.


It was ALL about courage!


It would've been easy to jump! In a split-second all the pain and resentment would have ended...Not so easy to stare directly into your own soul and face yourself...


...It would NEVER have ended for the ones I left behind, and in the murky waters within, my dream refused to die...MY DREAM OF KNOWING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE.


At this cross-roads, I realised how alone I felt, or truthfully, how alone I WAS!

Like electricity through my body, clarity struck, that there WAS nobody to save me....Only ME!


...So there I was, faced with only 2 choices!


On this day, I decided that I would not give up on ME! And it was here that I figured out that, amidst all the complexity and challenges disrupting my life, I NEEDED to again find my stability inside of me...


I turned around and walked away, to begin rebuilding my inner foundation one minute at a time...


Change is scary... But what's even more frightening, is going down the same road, over and over, that hasn't worked for years, and hasn't produced different results...


Doing that! Is more scary, because that would mean that you're only a bystander in your own life...That would mean that you haven't taken ownership for your life...And that would mean living without purpose...So you'll always just be surviving or existing...


That wasn't enough for me anymore...I figured that if I find stability inside of me, then nothing can break me.



START LIVING YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE!
