I looked out my window, all I could see was the world passing me by. I was loosing precious time, consumed with physical pain, post surgery pain and the psychological effects of that.I felt like I was slipping further into an abyss and I did not want to get out. I also felt trapped in a lifeless body with little movement with lots of assistance. I was extremely lucky if I was asked my input of my daily upkeep because very few understood me. My speech was distorted. The girl who felt like she could conquer all her dreams was living her nightmare. Tears rolled down my face even though I could not feel my right side, I watched myself curl into a cacoon of self pity and pain. Some part of me started to accept this situation.
As my mom wiped my tears away without saying a word, I looked out the window and wondered what happened to the vivacious, confident woman many came to love.
As I starred, my eye caught a glimse of the leaves of a tree I grew up looking at. I marvelled at how well that tree is taken care of by God to provide roots, a bark, stem and beautiful leaves. It has matured to this level and relies on its Maker. I stopped in my pity and wiped my tears away and thought if I rely on my maker like that, I will be able to provide nothing but beauty and also be effective and maybe impact on someone's life.
It took a tree to show me that I can get out of what doctors say is a miracle. I then searched for a rehabilitation centre, decide to work on my body and mind and that defined a victorius me.
What is obstructing your path, your secret to succeed at you life? You can be an overcomer like me, it may not be a tree but it may be a word of advice or something simple. Search yourself and be the person that you believe you are destined to be. Change for the good is the best feeling for you and everyone around you.
