How I Rewrote the Script
After my book was released, people asked me the same question day after day….How Did You Rewrite the Script. My first thought, would usually be read my book “Rewriting the Script.” However, after answering that question so many times I realized that some people just want the short version….the quick fix. That magical answer.
Unfortunately, there are no magical answers. Simply put….life is what you make it.
I encounter people everyday that are desperate for someone to talk or relate to. I deal with the battered, abused, abandoned, sick, confused and the homeless. Many times, I feel honored to be that person….that person that they can turn to. Honestly, I don’t always have all of the answers.
I live everyday to help someone. One thing I have realized during this journey called life is everyone has a purpose…a reason for being here. Believe it or not, we do not merely exist for our own entertainment or selfish desires. For those of us who have realized his/her purpose, it is our responsibility to help those who are still searching. Sure, some of us have encountered horrific circumstances and situations….and by the grace of God we have prevailed. Then there are some who have yet to grasp this concept…. but I am optimistic.
Truth be told, I have lived this life for many decades and I am still a work in progress. But I am living. I refuse to allow my past to dictate my future. You don’t have to be tied down by the script that you are born into. The best thing about being a child of God is having the freedom to change or improve your being.
Just remember that no matter how rocky the road may become, you can get through it. Even if you think about giving up…don’t. I truly believe that enduring your struggles will only make you stronger. More importantly, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve your goals or live your dream. You can. You deserve it. You just have to believe it…..and in yourself.
