“We are addicted to our thoughts.
We cannot change anything
if we cannot change our thinking.”
Some days I am feeling it...
some days I feel like I am meeting this idea for the very first time.
Today we were strangers. Tomorrow we will be acquaintances. Soon, we will be friends.
And before you know it, we will have a bad day together and think we are enemies so we will take a day apart. But we will keep pushing.
The reunion will be quiet and casual. It will begin the cycle again. Because not every day is a day for wearing a cape. And just like with any relationship, we have to be able to understand that there will be bad days that help create the big picture. It's just a matter of getting through them and keeping on the right track. You don't have to go above and beyond every day. You just have to remember to maintain. Forward Motion. Keep Pushing.
An addict has a relationship with their drug. Just the same way I have a relationship with my attempt to breed change here. If your friend were in an unhealthy relationship that prevented them from leading a happy and fulfilling life, you would likely offer to do whatever you could to get them away from the person that drained the life out of them or held them back. You would invite them out, offer them your spare bedroom if need be, talk to them on the phone at all hours of the night and remind them that they were better than that relationship. If we could apply that compassion and understanding for our friends with addiction, we could change things. Envision the drug as the bad partner... and support your friends, family, neighbors, whoever as they attempt to break up. Remember how hard it was to walk away from your love at one point and sympathize. Walk a block in their shoes while you carry some of their weight on your back. Because you are strong enough to do that for someone and you will never regret it. KEEP PUSHING.
Everything is relative.
Keep Pushing.
