We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.

That’s an interesting statement. It’s just that making myself miserable comes so naturally to me. I’ve been working my a$$ off the past few months getting strong. I plan on agreeing with that statement in the very near future.

Gratitude vs Self Pity. These two cannot live in the same space. Self pity brings misery. Gratitude brings joy. Choose gratitude. It’s actually less work.

Thank you so much. Even years after getting away from my drug of choice, my addictive personality still runs my life.
