I was thinking about the phase 'Never Say Never' and thought back to the days when i used to say 'I would never do this or that'. How easily those words came to me back then but now i realize i have done almost everything on my list of 'nevers'
Life does teach one some valuable lessons
- Things seldom work out the way you plan it
- Friends never stay with you forever, if you're lucky, probably a handful
- Relationships are fleeting and very fragile
- Your heart is most likely stronger than you realise
- Temptation knows no half measures
Speaking of temptation, i have been in a constant battle to keep temptation at bay but the more i fight it, the more tempted i become. Yep, its one of my 'nevers' and daily i pray for the strength to resist.
The saying of being drawn like a moth to a flame is an apt description for what i'm gong through currently. Everyday is a struggle but life's battles are won one day at a time so i'm beating my temptation one day at a time (hopefully). One thing i've learnt from all this is
- DISTRACTION
- Being REALISTIC
- Telling yourself the TRUTH
This is what i've done and i realise that its easier to face myself daily and not hate myself for falling short of my expectations for myself.
