A Lightbulb Moment
I had years of wrong doings, which resulted with me going in and out of prison for over 20 years. It’s been like a revolving door.
I kept making the same mistakes and wondered why I felt so miserable…. I was so attached to the ideas I had about myself and about life, it never occurred to me that they could be questioned or that I could suddenly have different ones. I couldn’t see them as ideas, I saw them as truths. Then finally I heard what you were saying, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I can see how even a stubborn man like me can change, have a different life, just because my thinking has changed, it is as simple as that.
I feel you picked my lock. I see everything and everyone differently. With more understanding and compassion. The best thing about what you teach is that the change just happened, I didn’t have to learn and remember anything. It feels as if you had been talking about something I already knew but couldn’t see or remember… it was just a matter of waking up to it.
