Good morning fellow exer's! While responding to a blog this morning I found myself thinking! Many who know me here understand that this is not something I do very often! However, I did remember a phrase I had heard long ago. I realize that it had been a big help to me, and I thought I might share it with anybody that is still reading at this point!

"Learn from the mistakes of others! You do not have time to make them all yourself!"  It is a good point! The application of this theory is to educate yourself about your addiction! But remember that the educational materials are generalized! They have to be! Everybody is different! There are exceptions to every rule. I bet you are one of the exceptions! I know that I am! We are all exceptional people! So take all the material, use what you can and leave the rest behind for the exceptional person that will follow you! Remember "you are unique, just like everyone else" So find what works for you! Sometime you have to try on a lot of shoes before you find the ones that really fit!

The other thing that education does is teach us to do our own thinking! That way we do not just come to this site and run off of a cliff behind the first person that turns a phrase well enough to sound ilke a leader! You have a choice. Lead, follow, or get out of the way! It is better if you take control of your own life! If you don't, someone else will!!!!

Today I encourage each of you to take control of your future! Be the person you always wanted to be! Go forward and prosper!
