Changing lives with his story . . .

Randy Norfleet
Motivational Speaker


"The world was gone, leaving an explosion that thrummed in my brain, and choking dust instead of air. I turned my head, seeing only darkness. Screams cut through the roar that still ripped my ear drums; the smell of burnt blood jabbed my sinuses; and through my one remaining eye, I saw the smoky dust clear revealing a building that looked like it was hit by a giant croquet mallet. Sirens laced the distant soundscape, car alarms breeped their panic, and in that moment, I knew I held my life in a single decision. Rise up, be seen, get help - or lay down beneath the blanket of disaster for a final sleep? One decision - one simple action - or the hypnotic peace of closing my eye to shut out the confusion. There is power in a single decision, impact beyond what we can imagine. Do you decide to stand up, or lay down? After hearing my story, perhaps you will jump up and grab each day, each hour, each moment, making the decision to live fully right now. As I told myself on that day in Oklahoma City, sleep is not an option."
