Todays Question:
Analyze your current mindset: How can shifting your focus from merely serving time to actively preparing for the future change your life?
After receiving a 17 year prison sentence I hit rock bottom in my life. I knew that my life was going to change drastically and I had to make some serious changes. I didn’t want to live the same way most inmates do by forgetting the outside world and making a career as a prison convict. Before I came to prison my life had been full of bad habits and drug abuse. After reading Michael Santos’s book ” Earning Freedom” I knew that it was possible to transform my life regardless of my circumstance. Today, I live deliberately with a clear plan to make positive changes in my life. I do not let my surroundings guide my decision making. I’ve found faith in a higher power that allows me to continue my recovery on a daily basis. I’ve enrolled in educational programs , vocational training, and participate in every rehabilitation program available. I know that the more skills I build the better opportunities I will have in the future.
