On my 800th day, what can I share with the village? Hmmm, how about…
Get stronger than your past . That’s all anyone here will ask you to do, and that’s all I ever asked of myself : GET strong enough to not repeat the broken-record mistakes of your past…yet again.
How do we get stronger? How do we grow into strength? By repeatedly practicing choices based on truthful knowledge and proven skills, not addictive deceptions and played-out mistakes.
That’s how this works, every…single…day. That’s how you GET from where you started, to where you wanna be.
When we stack up every victorious choice we make, our inner emotional scale tips and tips and tips - then crashes! We are then gifted with a turning point where we want our new life more than our past temptations. And, we get even stronger still on the day when we openly accept that “lighting up” will sometimes feel as urgent as an “instinctual reflex“, but will never again be an active choice, or real-life option.
I bet some of you really want to know when all this will happen. “When will my scale tip?” Well, as Elder Giulia will tell you, “It doesn’t matter when!” It only matters that you persevere in your process long enough to discover your turning point. (I promise, it’s out there.) Then, one tomorrow in your future, you will “awaken” into a strong Quit you can believe in.
And, defend.
