Assurance: The Life-Saving Power of Confidence

Dear friends, today I’d like to share a story from my past that has shaped my understanding of assurance and its power. It’s a tale of a life saved, not by physical strength or medical expertise, but by the sheer force of confidence.

The Incident

It was a sunny afternoon in the summer of ’72. I was enjoying a peaceful day at the local swimming pool, when suddenly, a frantic cry for help pierced the air. A young boy had slipped into the deep end and was struggling to stay afloat.

The Response

Without a second thought, I dove into the water. But as I swam towards the boy, I realized I was not a strong swimmer. Doubt crept in. Could I reach him in time? Could I save him?

The Power of Assurance

It was then that I remembered a crucial lesson from my youth: assurance is not about being certain of success, but about having the confidence to act despite uncertainty. I pushed my doubts aside and swam with all my might.

And you know what? I reached the boy. I pulled him to safety. His life was saved, not by my swimming skills, but by my assurance.

The Lesson

Friends, assurance is a powerful tool. It can propel us forward when fear and doubt hold us back. It can even save lives. So, let us strive to cultivate this quality within ourselves. Let us act with confidence, even in the face of uncertainty.

Remember, it’s not about knowing you can succeed. It’s about having the courage to try.

Until next time, keep growing, keep learning, and keep believing in yourself.

Yours in wisdom,
