You were made for so much more than this darkness in which you languish. Come on, get up. Let’s get out of here. I defeated the death that killed me. I also defeated the death that defeats you, deflates you and destroys you. All the deadly habits that entomb you. All the deathly patterns that sabotage your relationships. All the guilt that enchains you. All the hell into which someone put you. All the heavy gloom that descends on you every morning and makes even daylight like twilight. Look, I did not create you for death. I did not go to a God-forsaken death in order to leave you as a prisoner in hell. Are you ready to go now?
