Do you remember New Years Eve? Do you remember saying "I am going to try and quit this, I am going to try and quit that; I am not going to have any of this, and most certainly none of that?" Failure is debilitating, yet we clutch it to our breast as if it were our winter morning coffee. So how do we break this perpetual cycle of defeat? I can only tell you what I did. I decided!

  For far too long, I allowed myself an opportunity to retreat from resolve, always packing a parachute of abandon on the wings of wellness! And all along, all I need do was decide. You see, my experience had been that once my discomfort level had accelerated beyond my acceptance, I would convince myself that whatever the task at hand, it was not necessary or adequately beneficial to continue to suffer in such a way; and I would forego freedom. You see, the mind is uncannily powerful, especially when it is whispering! My regret was always immediately palpable, and I would assuage it with a promise of a future attempt. And the attempt would, in fact, come; and the familiar cycle would continue.

  The many people that I have worked with in the past, and am working with now, will all tell you unequivocally that daily they question the wisdom, benefit, necessity and purpose of their intent. BUT THEY HAVE DECIDED!!! That is truly all it takes, one decision resulting in much success. I believe that to be far better than many attempts resulting in no accomplishments. You can do whatever you please, if only you decide to!
