I'm gonna tell you guys today about a near-death experience that happened to
me a couple years ago the main things I'm gonna drive home are the positives
what I learned from it what I got out of it and how it impacted my life and new
perspective I have so I want to share a personal story that happened to me in
2016 specifically September 25th 2016 I was
working as a manager on local trampoline park I decided to go on break so I went
across the street to local Starbucks I sat down and I enjoyed my food in my
coffee and after I got done I get got ready to leave the actual building and
go back to work right before I got up another gentleman stood up and shot
another man in cold blood about ten feet in front of me right after that happened
he looked at everybody around first person he looked at was me and after I
almost defecated myself I slowly went to the ground I prayed to God I was just
hoping the moment would pass luckily enough the gun broke the gun broke and
or jammed and in that moment the man walked outside and left I tried to
revive the man I tried to give him CPR but he ended up passing away in my arms
so it's a little bit hard to tell you guys this story but it's true it did
happen to me and it is part of my life
"these kinds of things
people like that everywhere all the time.
so just appreciate what you have. Appreciate who
you notice in your life. Love them to the fullest forgive them and
try to be happy because you never know when something like this will happen."
I've debated for a long time whether or not I should really try to share this
story with so many people or tell people about what happened that day because a
lot of lives were affected and I have tremendous respect for people who are
going through any kind of grieving so with that in mind there is a lesson to
be learned from this ugliness there is something beautiful inside of how bad
that day was that I felt a huge urge to tell everyone I know besides the fact
that I believe God intervened in my life that day there was some key lessons I
learned directly thereafter and the months following in the years following
that I want to share with you today so I boiled it down to some of the main key
points that I think you will hopefully find some use in and see how it could
affect your life one thing I know is that that day I thought it was all over
I thought my life was done and I really thought I was going to die what that
does to you mentally is it's a like a reset button on the Nintendo or it's
just the lights cutting out and when you go through that you have to look at your
life in a whole new way you have a whole new perspective on everything around you
that being the case there were some personal things that I have been dealing
with and this tragic incident gave me an opportunity to really examine my life
and what I wanted to do with it I've never done before I kind of gone through
life doing whatever I wanted to and not really caring about the consequences
that's just the truth but what I will say is
one thing I found out was I thought I was a good person I gave myself the
label I'm a good person and by doing that it absolved me of doing
any kind of real work with the people in my life that were really close to me I'm
talking about family and friends and doing right by them and it could be and
it's in multiple different ways but the main point is that I gave myself a pass
and the problem with that is that it made me cover my eyes to the ugliest
parts of myself the things that I don't really like about me and when you do
that long enough you begin to believe that that's reality but the unfortunate
but fortunate thing about an event like this happening in your life is it makes
you see that you made all that up and there's some things that you need to
clean up about yourself what this incident did was make me see the ugliest
parts about myself what I needed to change and what I really needed to work
on all the way from my past and until present day and instead of really shying
away or trying to come up with the alternate reality
I embraced those ugly parts about myself that led me to say you know what okay
seeing this reality. No this facade of a good person doesn't exist but there is
a positive good challenge to become better to be a great person that's what
I mainly took from this entire tragedy that I hope can reach out to one of you
another thing that came from this incident was I was completely unaware of
the relationships that I had around me in the people that I knew and I was
unaware of the state those relationships were in meaning if people were really
angry with me but if if people didn't like what I was doing if they were
really happy with me disappointed in me I never took the time or considered how
I was doing in those relationships and how those relationships could get better
so I've used this as an opportunity to work on those relationships to build
those relationships little by little with small things like writing with
simple letters or changing my ways and my habits of talking to people really
starting from scratch so that's why I believe this incident was very fortunate
one of the biggest takeaways I got from this was the realization that my gifts
and talents were latent me and I never really worked on them or put them out
there for the world to see I've been told for years to hop in front of a
camera to say something on YouTube to make a podcast but I never did it and
still took me a while but I'm here now by doing this and seeing the effect it
has in other people's lives and how it makes them happier makes them believe
them in themselves and more it's really powerful and this process starts with
that reset button and then it goes into understanding the good in the bad and
then it goes into what exactly you can do to impact people's lives because
ultimately that's what life is about that's what I got from this whole
tragedy and I hope that it means something to you I hope that it changes
you I hope that you may have a friendship a relationship right now that
you can work on and you can make better and it'll make you and that person happy
there's a goal that you want to reach or something you want to attain that you've
been scared to do for the longest time hopefully by me putting this mug in
front of a camera it'll help you go out and do whatever you got to do as a group
