OctPoWriMo Day 11.. surprising yourself

prompt:  Think of a time where you surprised yourself. You set out to do something and you surprised yourself. You weren’t even sure if the goal was feasible. Maybe it was something you hadn’t done before. Maybe you did it against the advice of family and friends. Perhaps you had to war against your inner doubts to make it happen. But you did it anyway and you did it your way.
Tell us your success story

======================================================
.
A time of crisis
told to
Speaking up
to honor my moral compass.
There was a time
my opinion wasn’t my own
molded by parents
grandparents and spouse
.
Standing my ground.
Knowing it was the right thing to do
and say
No regrets … no wondering
a feeling of sadness for defying a parent
a feeling of peace
for honoring my God.
