A Selfie and a Life Changing Moment
Why would Matt send out a selfie after a life changing moment?
Our feeds are already full of them.
And honestly, it is not even that great. Not very interesting either. (and yes, my head is shiny)
A Random Moment in the City
The other day, I was walking through the city when something made me stop.
For a second, everything slowed down. I had one of those rare moments of reflection.
That simple selfie after a life changing moment suddenly meant more than I expected.
A Memory From Years Ago
Years back, I worked as a social worker in Redfern. It was my first full-time role.
At that time, life felt wide open. I was newly married, full of plans, and figuring things out.
Property investing was just a hobby on the side, but I already enjoyed it.
The Day Everything Changed
One morning, while driving to work, something unexpected happened.
A pedestrian stepped out in front of my car. Instinct kicked in and I hit the brakes.
Luckily, I stopped in time.
But then—everything changed in an instant.
A truck slammed into the back of my car and sent it spinning across the intersection.
It all happened so fast. I still remember the look on her face as the car spun toward her.
Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. After weeks of physio, I fully recovered.
Seeing Life Differently
Looking back now, that life changing moment could have ended very differently.
Today, I have a loving family, amazing clients, and a life I truly appreciate.
This selfie after a life changing moment is not really about the photo.
Instead, it is about gratitude.
We often focus on the next goal. We chase progress and forget to pause.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is stop and appreciate how far we have come.
Take a Moment
If you are reading this, take a second to reflect on your own journey.
Even when things are tough, there is always something to be thankful for.
I hope you can find that feeling too.
