I Found Them

I just stood up in a room full of about 60 people and cried...

I couldn't hold it in. When my mouth opened up, the water works began. I don't know how long I stood there speechless, trying to regain my composure, but it seemed like a lifetime.

I stood up to share how the last 3 days at the Montreal M1 Event had impacted my life.

Prior to me standing up, we had recently done an extremely powerful exercise.

Each person, including myself, took turns walking down a hallway with our palms up, chin parallel with the ground and eyes closed. As we walked forward slowly, we repeated the words "I am" out loud. While we did this, the other tribe members whispered words in our ears such as "You're Powerful", " You're a Leader", "You're confident", "You're a Great Husband" and so forth. As the person whispering, it was their job to whisper what they felt that person needed to hear.

What I realized, and I what I finally got out in front of the group between my tears, is that we all need support. We all need help.

Independance can only get you so far.

When you have a group of people behind you, supporting you, helping you, picking you up, cheering you on, encouraging you and pushing you beyond your limits, the possibilities are endless.

I have found those people I have been looking for.
