Life is a Series of Unexpected Interruptions

It would be a horrific world to live in if we were harshly judged by a single wrong decision made under immense economic pressure. But it is not those moments that define you.  It is how you respond to them that makes you who you are.  You will find out what you are really made of once you have everything stripped away. 

A journey from a fortunate middle-class family of privilege and a wealthy multimillionaire developer lifestyle to the soul-crushing prison life learns what is truly important in life. 

Love truly makes the world go round, God's love. With redemption, grace, and forgiveness. It is what saves us from ourselves. Love redeems us from our deepest darkest despair. It is our light when we are lost in the woods. Love does not let our mistakes define us. Love helps us learn from our mistakes and changes our direction, guiding us to a newer, better, brighter tomorrow. Love defines us.

Some of the world's greatest cowards are staring at you through the mirror. Do not look away, that's what they want you to do. Stand up to them.

It was undoubtedly something that he was experiencing in real-time, where there was a financial burden or relationship conflict. He was making decisions out of fear, and he kept making one poor choice after another because he did not want to face the coward in the mirror. 

He discovered his fear had a few friends. Pride was one of his closest allies, and vanity kept him from facing the facts that sometimes he doesn't make the best decisions. Arrogance had convinced him that he could hide mistakes ...
