We all have a struggle in life. At times there may be multiple struggles running in parallel. Some of these struggles lie beneath the surface and do not arise until they are most inconvenient. These struggles occur when we neglect our daily responsibilities and allow discipline to slip. The adversity will seem trivial at first, but before you know it, control is lost.
A large number of crazies lurking around Campbell is normal. However, a knock at the door at 11pm is not. I open the door asking the stranger what the deal was and the bearded man informed me he was there to repo my Mazda 626. I was two payments behind and the bank was not playing around! I was offered a chance to gather a few items from the vehicle if I chose. I took the tow truck driver up on the offer. As we walked to my car, I asked the gentleman the best & fastest way to get my car back. He informed me I needed to get current with the bank ($750 to be exact). I could only afford partial payment, so I was in a tight spot.
When cars are often repossessed, it is at night. I had work the next day, so getting there would be a challenge. Not only did I need to borrow a car to get to work, but I also needed to borrow money to get my car back from the tow company. It was not looking good for me. Thankfully I had a wonderful support system with friends and family. By the end of the day, the Mazda was back in my possession and I racked up a $400 bill in IOU's. Over time I worked my debt off or paid it back, how ever I could. To think of the time in my life I couldn't afford a $375 car payment, keeps me hungry for new challenges and new opportunities to help others. It was from the help of many others, that I have reached success. It was the support system I found myself in that helped me realize how loved & successful I really am.
