My transformation started today, a few years back. I've spent the last few years thinking only of myself and no one else. Everything was just about me. Who cares for me among so many people around me? No one. You know, I let go of my family, let go of my friends, the few that were close to me. And there are many who have turned away from me because of my selfishness.
The last happened today. I have lost many, but now the time is the opposite way.
An unusual event happened that made me take a closer look at my life, an event where I decided to give instead of taking. You know, there's still a chance to make things right after death. I witnessed this up close and found a way to redeem myself. If I don't do that, I'll end up like the people I'm about to help. I can't let that happen; it will never happen.
This morning was beautiful; the day is going to be beautiful too—a few clouds in the sky, bright sun. As I readied myself, thoughts of transformation came pouring out, just as a door bursts open. I was always disgusted with life. I'm so self-absorbed that I miss everything from my days of disgust. I never cared about making my bed or sleeping in the dirt.
While eating breakfast, I was pleased, thinking I now had a clear understanding of the path of life. I made many wrong decisions until I found this right path today, although everyone does. I've fallen into the same hole over and over and blamed others a thousand times for pushing me into it. The fact is, I was jumping into it willingly; I was such a fool.
But no more; that was the end there.
I now finish my tasks before I make a decision; I no longer wait for someone to tell me what to do. I can hear what people will say when I explain my decision to others. I have already heard the words; they call me crazy, nonsense, lost cause, ridiculous, and waste of time. I don't like to go with the flow of hype now, they are wrong, and if they open their eyes, they will realize it.
I walk and think I am fully transformed into the person I need to be today. I am a person today who no one can call a fool; I don't care if they say so. It wasn't an overnight change. Efforts and steps to ignore criticism were the best things in this change.
