Have the Courage

~~Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.  Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.  Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out you own inner voice.  And, most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. ~~

Steve Jobs

One thing I found with quitting smoking, is I am not hiding behind a smoke screen anymore.  No more ignoring my own emotions....no more concealing my inner most thoughts.  I have come out of hiding and guess what?  No house has dropped on me yet!!  Yes, I have negative emotions sometimes.  I also am wrong other times.  But, all and all, I am quite delighted by me!  I don't need that cigarette in order to have the time to go back into hiding......and it is sheer pleasure to find out who I am!

You can do the same thing, you know.  Have courage to find out who you are....to follow your heart's desire...to be who you always wanted to be.  No more hiding.  No more stuffing those uncomfortable feelings and emotions.  No more needing a cigarette to get yourself back under control.

You are delightful!!  You are unique!!  And you are so very needed here on earth.  Treat yourself gently, treat yourself well.  And know that good emotions....bad emotions.....it's all ok.  We all have different sides to us.  Get to know yourself and you may find that you are also quite delighted by who you are!
