Here it is:
4 years
ago...
...I was sitting with my feet
hanging
outside of the sliding door of my
green,
1996 Dodge Caravan---looking out
at
a full moon over the beach in
Kailua
Hawaii, dangling my toes into the
sand.
I stared out into the blackness of
the
sky, the halo of the moon, the
sound
of the ocean, the feeling of the
sand,
and wondered...
...will I ever be able to
LIVE beyond
the grasp of
poverty?
5 years
ago...
...a 24 year old Heroin addict is
hunched
over a toilet, accidentally dropping
his
last hit---and panics.
He stands up with the intention
of
getting another hit ...the compulsion
that
had driven his life for nearly a
decade...
but before he does, he makes a
mistake,
and SEES HIMSELF in the
mirror.
And hates what he
sees.
His body FIGHTING with every
last
breath to drag him back to the crack
house
for another hit ...he looks at
himself,
screams inside his soul, crying---a
tear
running down the side of his face,
and
says the unthinkable in the face
of
destruction:
"ENOUGH is ENOUGH..."
...and makes a NEW
DECISION.
189,000 people in 100 countries
later,
this ex 'Van Man' and recovering
drug
addict stand on top of a stage in
front
of 6,000 people ...in VICTORY
and
POWER, realizing the truth of
what
YOU can do...
...when you only have a
dream.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
What's possible for
you?
I'm going to suggest, not what
is
impossible, but what is
POSSIBLE,
when YOU step into your
power...
...ANYTHING.
Because what you're about to see
is...
...startling.
