It’s not easy to do the right thing when you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed. It’s something you have to train for. There are teachings we must learn, and teachings we must be willing to unlearn to help us stay on the right path. Temptation can be a powerful force, urging us to take the easy road every time. Blaming it on the food, blaming it on the company you keep, or blaming it on your life situations won’t help you progress as you should. Instead, visualize the path that leads to your goals and start taking steps towards it. It may take time to figure out exactly what to do, but don’t give up on yourself. I just ask that you never give up on yourself and understand that choosing the hardest path out of the gate is normally the easiest route long-term. So stay the course, and keep pushing towards your dreams!
