Grateful for “small” moments that changed my life via /r/gratitude

My life was at a state of stagnancy, being stuck in vicious cycle of non-sense addictions.
My life "revelation" was started when I met an old acquaintance who was planning to go aboard for a mission, and he said that he knew of what I am capable of and he believes I am destined for great things. This made me reflect on my life, leading me to decide getting out of stagnant state, stopping all 'non-sense' (mainly addictions) in my life altogether, to value and cherish my life more. Other moment is when a person in the church I attend tapping on my back several times, and saying like "I am sure you can do it, bro", with great, sincere smile and acceptance. I am grateful that I am brought to these kind moments that give a sense of purpose in my life, making me realize that I am worthy of all the good things I am capable of achieving. This had motivated me to throw away all things that hinder me, not worth my time, even my well-being.
And I thank God for that🙏
