Courage is a product of fear, and freedom is a state of mind. Throughout my recovery I have learned of two animals who I mimic. The Lion and the Eagle. The Lion represents a type of Attitude and the Eagle represents Elevation. It is a consistent reminder to always stay unapologetic, diligent, and courageous on a daily basis. It tells me to continuously stay in a state of advancement and to never practice contentment.
My recovery is totally predicated on the strength of my faith. I have been forgiven and exonerated of my transgressions. I have been given access to a power with in me that allows me to to touch the lives of others and to show someone who is loosing hope an opportunity to see the wonderfulness of recovery. I have been given a gift to write and speak and I am dedicated to use my voice to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. I have found My Identity, My direction, My Vision and My Purpose. I refuse to allow another Individual to set limitations on my abilities and I refuse to stop until I reach my destiny.
