WALKING ON FIRE!

Several years ago I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Late one night, with a cool breeze blowing, I took a walk. It wasn't a very long walk, and it didn't take me very long to complete, but when I was done I was a different person. How so? Well, I had just taken a walk on a 20 foot long bed of hot coals, in excess of 2000 degrees, and didn't get burned!Why, you may be asking, would I do

something as crazy as that?! A dare? A bet? It was actually a challenge that I had a choice of accepting or not. Yes, I made a conscious choice to face the potential of severe burns on both feet. Was it foolish? Crazy? Insane? It wasn't to me.Now let me add a caution here. Do NOT go out and try this in an unsupervised environment. If you don't know what you're doing you CAN get hurt! This whole activity was VERY carefully monitored by a very responsible staff and no one's allowed to walk until they're properly prepared for it. No special coating is added to your feet. No running is allowed. The main preparation comes in adjusting your mental attitude as well as your belief system. There's also staff members available to assist you during and after your walk, if necessary, so your safety is assured. Many chose not to walk that night and that was

perfectly OK with everyone. Perhaps they'll try another time, perhaps not. The choice is theirs and theirs alone to make.I'm not advocating that you go out and walk on fire yourself, but I encourage you to take a look at the obstacles you have in your life that you allow to keep you from fulfilling your destiny, and then explore ways to overcome them.The firewalk is a metaphor for life, because if you choose to accept the challenge you'll learn an important lesson ... if you can walk on fire you can doing ANYTHING you choose to do in life!!
