We’re told that to be successful you must get a college degree, then work a 9-5 job at a company that sees us as means to an end, not as the humans we are. Since when is it healthy to sit in a chair for 10/12 hours a day calling people, soliciting for money, staring at a screen? Its equivalent to being a couch potato. And we wonder why we have the outrageous obesity rates, high divorce rates, and unprecedented levels of unhappiness. We are slowly killing ourselves, slaving away for corporations. How many people do you know have become complacent with where they are? Who are miserable, yet they don’t do anything about it? It takes courage to break away from the status quo. To step out of your comfort zone. Now, I am speaking in a perfect world. I make these same mistakes myself. We have been conditioned, and we are not aware of it. Not all, but most. We are capable of great things. People who change the world are not smarter, they don’t know something we don’t; they take a chance, risk everything, because they have a vision for a greater future. My vison is to change the way we view and treat addiction. I have been grateful enough to go through a life changing treatment program, and it has got me thinking how different things could be if instead of treating substance abusers as criminals, we treat them as humans, as a public health concern, as suffering from a learned disorder, a debilitating one at that. I would like to help rehabilitate users and criminals, and teach them marketable skills so that they may go on and live a fulfilling, purpose driven life. I want to help those who cannot help themselves. If you believe in the bible, then you see that Jesus’ followers were all sinners; murderers, thieves, prostitutes, and he was the voice for the poor and sick. God Bless and Thank you for reading.
