What Makes You.....You

~~You are perfect the way you are; there is no need to change anything except the thoughts that you aren't good enough.~~ 

Because those thoughts that you aren't good enough will keep you smoking.  They will nag at you until you relapse.  They will put a damper on your days....days you will never get back.  They will hound you.  Hurt your relationships.  Make you unhappy yet unaware of why.

Please let these words sink in.....you are perfect just the way you are.  With your flaws.  With you mistakes.  With your faults.  We ALL have them!!  There is joy in imperfections, you know. It doesn't make you any less a magnificant person.  Embrace them!!  Love them.  They are part of what makes you....you.

Knowing I am impatient makes me deliberately more patient.  Knowing I had a not good childhood makes me more gentle with children.  It is our faults that sometimes bring out the very best in us.  Imperfections, you see, aren't meant to keep us down, they are meant to make us shine.

So erase the thoughts that you aren't good enough and understand that you are perfect just the way you are.  You may bend, you may err, you may make a whopper of a mistake......but that's simply being human.  It's ok.....you're ok.  Learn and move on.  Don't let life's bumps or your imperfections tie to you to your addiction.  Don't let your mistakes make you feel like smoking is your only friend.  Its an ugly addiction...that's all it is.  Learn and move on 🙂  You deserve to be smoke free....you deserve to really live!!

Be good to yourself today and do something you love!!  Peace, Sheri
