One night I was exhausted and overworked but I went out to meet my partner for discussions. At the time I was driving a black BMW Coupe with the M Package, it was my dream car. All through college I wanted to own a BMW, it was a status symbol for me.
On the drive home I stopped at a red light in my home town, nearly 5 minutes from my house. At the red light I remember thinking "WOW, this light is taking forever" and my eyes began to get really heavy and tired. Apparently I fell asleep at the wheel but without my knowledge my foot pressed on the gas pedal and i drove through this four lane four way intersection.
Fortunately I did not hurt anybody or hit anything. But then I drove in between a metal pole and a massive tree, the space between them was the exact width of my car. Its a miracle I didn't hit either one.
I drove up a hill and through a brick wall and my car landed with a thump. I took a breathe and my eyes opened. To my amazement I was in a cemetery surrounded by tombstones. I could not believe it.
Here I was in the cemetery and all I could think was "How did I get here?" I checked to see if I was hurt and if my car would start. Fortunately, I was not hurt. However, I could not say the same for my ride, my BMW was totalled.
I literally had hit a brick wall in my life and I knew at that moment that "enough is enough".
It was time to take care of myself or I would be on a destructive unhealthy path and possibly end up dead really soon. I began to ask myself, WHY? Why I am doing all this? Who am I? What do I want? What is my Purpose?
It was time for transformation. It was time to start a new way of living. Here is the story of Alex from child model to leader and visionary of Real Grader.
