Weakness Can Not Persist

in #habits7 years ago (edited)

IMG_5608.JPGMy favorite author James Allen once wrote, “In a power evolving world, weakness can not persist.”

That’s always been one of my favorite quotes, and now a days, I feel like it’s a huge theme in my life.

Hidden weakness are now being brought to light, begging me to upgrade the way I live, and the way I see myself, my life, and the world around me.

Take for instance weed. I’ve been a heavy smoker for over a decade, and have used it as a tool to help me work, relax, sleep, and find joy. If you were to ask other people, they might say I’ve used it as a crutch. I never thought so, but apparently that’s a thing.

Now that I’m in Mexico, and don’t have access to weed, I’m finding that my affinity for the herbs could be seen as a weakness.

That being said, that weakness can not persist. I need to fortify me soul and find new ways to reach that state, that ganja brought me so easily to.

I know that with essential oils and meditation, I can achieve those states. It might not be as enjoyable from the get go, but I’m willing to sacrifice my animalistic desires, to live a more aligned life.

I’m willing to improve my mindset and habits, to improve my quality of life- even if it makes me feel uncomfortable. Because guess what! Growth occurs outside our comfort zones, and I’m willing to be uncomfortable, if it helps me upgrade my life.

Excellent post friend, good luck and success for your blog :)

Thanks :) I appreciate that.

Surely there's got to be some cannabis to be found in Mexico! :)

There definitely is- but with the amount of work I need to do, and the amount of money I have, it can't be a priority at this time. I know it will find me eventually, but until then, I need to buckle down and get to work.

I am definitely looking forward to smoking after some time without. Those always seem to be the best highs anyways. :)

True! I've had to take some breaks when I didn't really want to, and it's always been fine after a couple of days (I don't really think about it anyore), and when I get back to it, my tolerance is much, much higher. Best of luck to you!

Thanks @marksheppard .
I appreciate your kind words and support :) Not smoking isn't a big deal- it's just my current challenge.
