Why even bother trying to change? What is the point of stepping out of the shadows of comfort into a scary, foreign world? For me, I was finally willing to take a leap of faith into the unknown because I had nothing left. I was nothing. I stood to lose nothing whatsoever by trying something new. I stood to gain everything. That is the point.
I want to live a better life. I want to be happy. I want to be free. Those are the points. For me, the realization of those aspirations only is possible through action. That’s the point–a structured process beginning with acceptance and then followed by positive action allows me to be the man I’m meant to be. I get to be the man I always wanted to be.
I get to take responsibility for my own life and my place in the world. That’s the point. I get to be a blessing to those around me. I get to have peace in my heart and a quiet mind.
