The next time you quit will be worse, and the time after that will be worse than that one. <br /><br />There comes a time your chances to climb the mountain are gone. But right now? You can climb this one, then the next one, then the next one. Don't waste your life trying to climb his one mountain like so many people do.

A person needs to move through the stages...but the shift from contemplation into action is where the change occurs.<br /><br />It sounds like you know enough about the hill to see there is no way around it. No way to remove it. No way to tunnel through it.<br /><br />You need to go over it.<br /><br />It seems scary looking at it from the bottom, but once the hard part is done and you get to the top you will see just how beautiful the view is. <br /><br />Don't drink today. Start the climb.<br /><br />AnneAinsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.com
