I was finishing my last Christmas shopping. At a sporting goods store while I was standing in line, my daughter runs up with this item and asks if I can purchase it for her. I am fudging at this time, not giving her an answer, when the clerk turns to me and says, that one employee in the store bought and "it changed his life!"
That took me off guard. All it took was a $2.97 item to change a person's life. Is it just the way he drank water that was troubling him in his life? I think the employees may be a little given to hyperbole.
As I thought more about the cost of a life changing experience, it really comes from walking through painful times with your eyes open. That is really what it takes to change directions in a life. Anything else is a cheap substitute.
