In a dark room filled with empty aluminum cans, a man sat staring at a glowing television. A scruffy beard covered a face marred by doubt and hopelessness. Bloodshot eyes looked over at boxes of office contents and broken dreams. It wasn’t fair. Anger boiled and overflowed inside of him. Life’s injustices held him prisoner in that room. The wrongs committed against him were the handcuffs that strapped him to his recliner. But the key to his freedom lay in plain sight inside of him.
The key.
The epiphany.
The moment of clarity.
The second change took root.
The decision to make a better life.
The time when he decided to fight back.
The hour to make a difference in others’ lives.
The instant when he vowed to get out of his comfort zone.
Life had punched him in the stomach. But at that moment, he decided to start moving forward again, inch by inch. Foot by foot. Once the spark of passion had been lit, a fire began to burn inside of him. A fire that consumed the fear that had held him back for so, so long.
Like a farmer burning a field in preparation for a new crop, his life was now ready for greatness.
It’s not what happened to him. It’s how he reacts to it.
Nothing or no one would ever hold him back again.
Once he started moving again.
Once he turned the key.
I can definitely relate to your story. Just pushed myself over a cliff from my comfort zone and feel so much better for it. My personal result was that of empowerment, self-confidence, and stronger faith in the hope of a positive outcome. With God all things are possible.
