This chapter confronts many areas of my life. Here I upload some notes that I take of this chapter. This chapter was special to me because it remembers myself when I passed through a type of depression. That feeling of didn't know why I’m living and why am doing in this world. That body that only wanted to sleep and doesn't take care about anything. I have to confess that I live that phase in my life because I didn't find help and because there are so many things that I was living that for me was very difficult to manage them. I have problems of self-steam, my parents are getting divorced and one of my best friends is fighting against cancer after some months she died. I know my situation could be worse but that the situation that I have in my plate and I have to confront and live with it.  As Parker I lived my own process, one thing that shock me is the helpful that was that some one clean his own feet. I get totally out of that depression when I really confront my self of what I am loosing in life because of being in that depression and also to try to get out of that comfort zone that I have taken instead of confront my personal fights and use the gifts that God gave to me to fulfill my life and impact in others life. Months after this situation I experience what is the extreme poverty in my country and I have to accept that looking that reality confront myself to stop looking for what I didn't have and start appreciate what God gives to me. From that day ´s in that summer camp with that foundation I realize that I want to live a culture of being thankful of what I have and live and what I didn't  Because there are so many people around the world that has many minor things that I and live grateful of the gift that them have.

 

And my summary and conclusion of that situation in my life that also Parker explain with his example and livings of his life are concluded with this quote:



“I had failed to understand the perverse comfort we sometimes get from choosing death in life, exempting ourselves from the challenge of using our gifts, of living our lives in authentic relationship with others.”

​

“When you truly possess all you have been and done ... you are fierce with reality."
This quote of this chapter remains me to be forth and fight to use the gift that God gives me to enjoy the life and also to be thankful to the things that I didn't like and that makes me feel bad but that at the end have a good reward.
