Lets provoke some thought and inner reflection and as of ourselves the ultimate philosophical question......WHY? This is a great time of the year for inner reflections and remembering things. Metaphorically and actually astronomically is also the darkest time of the year and with the application of a little courage and bravery, remember that bravery is not the absence of fear but going on in the face of fear, we might just discover some things here in the darkness.
Why is it, for many of us, so blasted hard to change? Probably better stated and more accurate, why is it that we so staunchly resist change?
I think one very good answer to this is fear. Well Papa, fear of what? I say changes? I say fear of the unknown? Even possibly a fear of self discovery? And of course there is always the fear of embarrassment that somehow others will take our little weakness and use it against us. Perhaps there is the fear that our hidden weaknesses, you know the ones no one is supposed to know about, may be discovered.
Take a little peek inside and perhaps ask yourself, what is it that I fear the most and how does that affect me and my decisions?
I want to wish the group and all other folks here for that matter a very happy and merry Solstice Celebration.......however you choose to celebrate it............and an equally prosperous and Happy New Year!
Most importantly I want to see you folks continue to make your pledges and honor them for your own changes. I want to see you succeed and forge yourself into the FREE person you really are. The keys to the locks and chains binding us we already have, sometimes they are just hidden in the darkness of our own fears. Grab up your keys and set yourself FREE!
I'm Papa Jimmy, and I am a nicotine addict.
I have quit taking nicotine for 3 years, 5 months, 29 days, 1 hour, 41 minutes and 21 seconds (1277 days).
By my choice, and what a choice it is, I've not smoked 25541 nasty stanking death sticks, and saved $6,059.26 of my hard earned cash!
I've saved 88 days, 16 hours and 27 minutes of my life.
In a daily journey of transformation the only thing I can actually control is me and my own behavior...
