In December 2002, my doctor told me I would never be able to run again. I had many broken bones in my body after a severe car accident that left me without being able to walk for almost a year. This diagnosis devastated me especially since I was an avid jogger for over 20 years and enjoyed those endorphin filled runner's high many times. A few days afterward and recovering from the shock, I said a heartfelt prayer to God which completely changed my outlook on everything I do in my life now.
What ended up being what most people would think was the worst time in my life ended up being the most symbolic and powerful time of unleashing courage from the heart. During that time, I was able to muster up more strength seemingly without effort based on this moment of surrender in heartfelt prayer.
I will be talking about the difference between wanting something from the mind and being in surrender through love and allowing serendipitous moments to occur. When you allow yourself to operate in this form, courage is not difficult when confronted with life changing events. These turning points are there to challenge you and by choosing the way of the heart, many unexpected doors will suddenly open.
