That Big Moment

Everyone can remember that pivotal moment- that one big event that changed their life.  You obsess over it, and if it’s good you embrace it.  But if it’s horrible you would do anything to counteract it.  At night you have dreams of life without it, and during the day you do everything you can to correct your error.  You might not realize it but the mistake shapes your character.  That moment had such a profound impact upon your life that you’ll carry it with you forever.  The question is will you be the slave or the master?

 

Slaves, by definition, lack control.  They find their emotions overwhelming and become compromised when reminded of the past.  At the slightest mention of the smallest relevance their body’s posture will go through monumental adjustments.  Some will seek addiction, others therapy.  Some will be emancipated with time while others will struggle on, indentured until the end.

 

There is no easy way out of it—sometimes you might get lucky, and spot freedom like the light at the end of a tunnel.  But for some people they just have to carry on through the darkness, as the light slowly creeps in and overtakes them—like a hazy dawn-less morning to a dreary day.  No matter what your situation is though, perseverance in the face of adversity is always the best strategy.

 

Stand strong proud and vigilant.  You are who you are and there’s nothing wrong with you.  Don’t doubt yourself, don’t doubt your friends.  Know thyself and know thy enemy.
