Commitment: A Lesson from a Nightmare
Dear friends, today I’d like to share a story from my past, a tale that taught me the true meaning of commitment. It’s a story that involves a nightmare, but fear not, for it’s a tale with a happy ending.
The Nightmare Begins
Many years ago, I found myself trapped in a recurring nightmare. Each night, I would dream of being lost in a dense, dark forest, with no path in sight. The trees towered over me, their branches reaching out like gnarled hands, and the silence was deafening. I would wake up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding.
The Commitment
One day, I decided I had had enough. I was determined to confront this nightmare and find my way out of the forest. I made a commitment to myself: each night, before I went to sleep, I would visualize a path through the forest. I would imagine myself walking confidently, not with fear, but with determination.
The Journey
And so, each night, I ventured into the forest of my dreams. Some nights were harder than others. There were times when I wanted to give up, to let the forest consume me. But I remembered my commitment. I pushed forward, step by step, night after night.
The Triumph
After what seemed like an eternity, I finally found my way out of the forest. The nightmare had ended. I woke up one morning, not in a cold sweat, but with a sense of peace and accomplishment. I had faced my fear, stuck to my commitment, and emerged victorious.
The Lesson
My friends, the lesson here is simple yet profound. Commitment is not just about making a promise. It’s about sticking to it, even when the going gets tough. It’s about facing your fears, pushing through the darkness, and emerging into the light. It’s about knowing that the path may be long and arduous, but the journey is worth it.
So, whatever forest you find yourself in, remember to stay committed. Keep pushing forward, and you will find your way out. And remember, every nightmare has a dawn.
Until next time,
