Remember, in your moments of weakness and desperation,
Personal power is a quality few understand.
It has little to do with physical strength or technical proficiency.
It is quite simply, the force that results from freeing yourself from the fear of failure. No matter what the consequences.
We all go through life making decisions by weighing the potential outcomes of our actions. But too often, people decide on a course of action based not on what they can achieve, but on what fearful outcome they can avoid. As a result, individuals or circumstances that threaten these people with things they fear have power over them.
Achieving personal power means finding the courage to drive ahead no matter what your opponent threatens. Whether the challenge be conflict with an employer, a legal confrontation, or personal combat, when you divorce yourself from any fear of consequences, your adversary (in your case, addiction) no longer holds any power over you.
Man's greatest fear is death. But think of the power you have when you throw off any fear of dying. How threatening would the loss of a girlfriend, a job, or even financial ruin seem today if you knew you were going to die tomorrow. If you can kick that fear, then all the other calamities in life become trivial.
Why settle for anything imperfect or frivolous today when you are going to die tomorrow. Carve flaws out of your life. A man who knows he will die tomorrow doesn't have time to waste on them.
The Master says, "I will not be concerned at men's not knowing me, I will be concerned at my own lack of ability."
Be strong. Stand tall.
