True Love is When You Dedicate your Life to a Cause Larger than Yourself. Nelson Mandela was determined that he was going to break the back of apartheid and bring about a new South Africa. In the process of this noble cause he was arrested and thrown into prison. During his time in the prison, he had option that could have brought about his personal freedom 15-20 years down the line in prison, but he refused. All he needed to do at a point is just say what the government wanted him to say and they would let him go free and even settle him with enough to afford him to live a better life. And he can go to a far nation and say; I just said that so that they can let me go, because I have been in the prison for about 15 year or over 20 years. And nobody would say; Nelson you sold out. In fact, they would say; wait a minute, Nelson, you gave over fifteen or twenty years of your life. What more can we ask you? Is ok. But because of his integrity with himself, and hes commitment to break the back of apartheid, nothing was able to stop him from freeing his people. When the dream is big enough, the odds dont matter. When you dedicate your life, you bring about a special power. There is a power in you that people, circumstances, events cant destroy. That power can bring any government to its kneels. When you dedicate yourself to something higher than you, you bring on some power in the universe that works through you to bring about changes that youve never ever known. I say to you, theres a Mother Theresa in you. Theres a Nelson Mandela in you. That kind of spirit, that kind of commitment, that kind of vision of allowing yourself to be used by life is in you.
