I start my book with a story about a time that shaped the trajectory of my life before I knew it. In short: I was about 8. One of my lung completely collapsed and other was functioning at half capacity. I was placed in a medically induced coma and spend more time in the hospital than the average adult ever will. (DL a free chapter of the book in my website, it has the full story) Picture One: my mom visiting me in PICU (about a week after I woke up) in the Miami hospital that I stayed in. Picture Two: me shortly after waking but unable to move/interact. Picture Three: me present day, choosing to make the best of this opportunity we call life. Today, I choose to risk failure if it means doing what I believe God made me to. I choose to use my voice and story to help others to do the same. I choose to ignore poor criticism from people who won’t even try to understand and instead pull me back for their comfort. I choose to move forward with Gods promise. My point: only you and God get to shape your story. Everyone else gets to influence it if you choose to let them. I’m grateful for the people who, although are scared for me or don’t fully agree with/understand the steps I’m taking, they still show up. They still support and if I stumble they choose to catch me. You get to choose a lot in life. Choose carefully. Follow 👉🏽👉🏽 @paulwcroswell for more. Follow 👉🏽👉🏽 @paulwcroswell for more.
