Good day all!
I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been forced off line for a bit by a faulty computer so I’m using another one to write this. I can read messages on my phone but it’s really hard to reply. Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a delayed happy new year and of course send a message along with it.
The obvious message that comes with the new year is renewal. When we start a new year, we tend to actually think ahead on how we want this new year to be. Even as we celebrate the end of one year, we always try to think of positive things that we can do to make the entire year better.
This is really how we should feel when we quit smoking if we’ve prepared properly. On that quit day, we have to be focusing on what we’re gaining, not what we’re losing. We should feel an excitement for the renewal of our beings. And we should be ready to look past the discomforts that we not only expect but want to get over with so that we can get on with our new life of freedom.
But sometimes, life doesn’t give us an opportunity to prep or we take the plunge without really realizing that we need to.prep to begin with. It doesn’t mean we can’t succeed under these circumstances, but it does mean that we have to try a little harder because we end up having a little catching up to do as far as our understanding of what’s happening to us goes.
For this reason, there are more questions. More of trying to understand what’s happening to us in those first hard days. And it can be way harder to reason with ourselves at first because we’re too busy trying to grasp everything at once. There is a bright spot to this however. In order to get through, the commitment must be strong. And with commitment comes belief. And with belief comes the power to overcome any obstacle.
This is why it really doesn’t matter if there was no time for preparation. It’s a little harder at first of course and there’s a bit more confusion but in the end we all achieve the same goal of freedom. And really, that’s all that matters!
So if you have the time, take the time to prepare but if you don’t, go for it anyway! It’s our futures we’re talking about here and one thing is certain. We can get through this together no matter what the circumstances. We can leave those bread crumbs along the way for you to follow and we can answer all of your questions, no matter how inconsequential they may seem.
We all have a single goal of freedom here and as such we all want to see you succeed! Hang in there and before long your dream will become a beautiful reality! Until then, we’re here to pick you up if you fall!!
ONWARD TO FREEDOM!!!
Chuck
