Break Free

Have you seen the movie Avatar?

One of the main char­ac­ters, Jake, is par­a­lyzed. But every time he gets into the ves­sel that trans­forms him into his avatar body, he knows that in that body he will be able to walk, run, and enjoy life.

Can you imag­ine how that must have made him feel? Know­ing that his per­ma­nent hand­i­cap wasn’t so per­ma­nent after all.

In the end (spoiler alert!) Jake chose to live the rest of his life as that avatar — free from his paral­y­sis, with the love of his life beside him.

The truth is, we all live with hand­i­caps. The phys­i­cal ones are eas­ier to detect, and often dif­fi­cult or impos­si­ble to rem­edy. But some are less obvi­ous — and as it turns out, these are often curable.

Take, for exam­ple, the per­son suf­fer­ing from addic­tion. What would it look like if that per­son could wake up one day com­pletely free from ever hav­ing to deal with that addic­tion again?

Or con­sider the emo­tion­ally hand­i­capped. A per­son so inse­cure that they go through life telling oth­ers around them how impor­tant they are, how wealthy they are or how beau­ti­ful they are. What would it look like if they could see the beauty and impor­tance in themselves?

Are you liv­ing with an emo­tional hand­i­cap that you would like to get rid of? Can you imag­ine a life where that hand­i­cap does not par­a­lyze you?

Find the ves­sel that will allow you to break free from its chains, because a life free of them is so much more enjoyable.
