"I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES BECAUSE I AM ONE"
That is my favorite saying, which I'm going to use everyday from now on. I keep hearing these voices in my head, telling me I shouldn't talk about my past, because "People don't want to hear that sort of stuff" and "Nobody is interested in your story" and even "They will not take you serious anymore".
People have spend my entire life trying to tell me I am less than nothing. And the sad thing is, I believed them most of my life! But always, there was this strong sense of power inside, that needed to prove them wrong and so I did. Life is tough, for most people anyway, but I've learned that it can get easier once you let go of certain believes and start hanging on to new ones and this is what I believe: "I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES BECAUSE I AM ONE" and I will tell you why:
I've spent almost 20 years being sick (both fysically and mentally), confused and terribly unhappy due to all sorts of circumstances two of them being having to deal with the aftermath of childabuse and the second being being in a wheelchair for 10 years. While I was sick I ran into this quote, I've forgotten who it is from, but will tell you when I find it again: "I asked for a miracle and then became one"
Somehow this rang true in my mind and something inside believed it. So even though I didn't know how it would work out, I held on to this believe and it worked, it helped me overcome my childhood, it helped me get out of the wheelchair and it is helping me right now getting my carreer of the ground as a professional Photographer/Graphic Design Artist.
Fame, Fortune, all wonderfull stuff!!! But what I really love, is for my life to have some meaning and help get people inspired. I live to get the message out that anything can be accomplished if you believe, no matter what anybody else is saying. SO, YES I will talk about my past, to let who-ever wants to hear know: Only your soul knows what it is capable of, so have just a little bit of faith and let it teach you how to get where you are meant to be...because believe me: you WILL get there!!! :)
LOVE, Eric
