Justin Plosz - NO BAD DAYS - Mr. Public Relations
Twelve years ago, a seemingly ordinary night took an extraordinary turn on the #1 highway. My car had given up on me, leaving me stranded three hours away from home, on a lonely Saturday night around 1 am. To add to the chaos, my phone had died, leaving me in a state of uncertainty.
As I sat in my car, not knowing what to do next, I noticed two rather intimidating-looking men approaching, knocking on my window, and asking, "Are you okay?" Initially wary of their intentions, I mumbled a hesitant "yes" and claimed that I didn't need any help, silently hoping they would just move along.
However, they persisted, and I eventually mustered the courage to open my car door, allowing them to assist me. To my surprise, they genuinely tried to fix my car and offered me a ride to the nearest town, an offer I reluctantly accepted.
During the ride, my frustration got the better of me as I vented about my car troubles, the events of the day, and the general state of my life. It was at this point that the driver decided to change the atmosphere. He rolled down the window, tossed his cigarette, lowered the volume of the music, and began to share his own life story.
He recounted a heart-wrenching tale from years ago when he received a call from his best friend. The message was clear and urgent: "Something's happened, and your house is on fire. Hurry home!" The friend pledged to be there before him but urged him to rush back.
As he arrived at his home, adversity was waiting to greet him. His house was engulfed in flames, his wife had jumped from the second story, fracturing both her legs, and his three children were trapped inside. His best friend had even confronted the police, receiving 156 stitches in the process, all in a desperate bid to rescue the children.
At this moment, something profound washed over me – a profound sense of gratitude. As he showed me pictures of his children, I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop to help me?" His response was as humbling as it was inspiring: "I am all body and no soul." He explained that he was simply driving, with a genuine desire to help someone in need. He had embarked on a journey from Calgary, Alberta, to Winnipeg, MB, and back again, solely to assist others in times of need, sacrificing his own body and time for the chance to reunite with his children.
This remarkable encounter changed my life forever, although he may never have realized it. Now, whenever I find myself in the midst of a challenging day, I remember those words, "IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE," and I am filled with a renewed sense of gratitude.
They dropped me off, bought me a coffee, and continued their journey, spreading kindness and help wherever they went.
I just want to say, Thank You!
