Restraint

"Everything is good in moderation"

I've been faced with this fact threw all my addictions.
When I have followed one thing over and over again that it becomes all I know or think on.

It happens with drugs, EASILY.
It happens with sex, when your body craves the touch of another or yourself.
It happens with love, when you truly follow your heart off that cliff your head tells you not to.

In every pleasure there is a limit.
One that you must implement yourself.
One that only you can truly enforce.

What is that limit? How do you know when to say 'when'?
A persons limit only they can find for themselves. What reaches they can stretch themselves around is only within their knowledge and motivation to change.

I have basic limits that I believe are key boundaries that we cross.

1) When something has become so strong you risk harm to yourself or the people around you.
(Harm being emotional, physical, financial or any other non-productive act)

2) When what your doing must be hidden from those who care about you.
(Anything your not happy to tell your family about should not be considered productive)

These lines should never be crossed when dealing with anything in excess.
For when these lines are broken you head down a path of self-destruction.

Remember always to check yourself
or have close friends to check you for you.
but even then open lines of communication is needed.

Change

Change happens.
There is nothing you can do to stop it.
The only reasonable thing is to learn to adapt.
We are what we are today by adapting to our climate and surroundings.
We grow by learning new experiences, emotions and troubles.
By surviving threw them , Overcoming them and stretching ourselves to a new beginning.

"When the Lord closes a door, He always opens a window."
You just need to learn when to jump out of the burning building.
By learning that fire is hot and will burn you.

It seems many these days have problems with change, fear it to an extent. This I can understand but it should never rule a decision made for your benefit. A child will never want to give up his precious blanket. Yet, He must, to learn to grow and become the person God had in mind.

""For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...""
- Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

God is ALWAYS listening! He is a schemer, for his fingers and works are in everything around us. From the birds chirping in a open field to your deepest darkest nightmares.
Often I turn to God during times of change where the future is so unknown to me I could pee myself. For he is the supply of infinite strength, wisdom to guide the forever lost and love beyond comprehension.

TRUST IN GOD

Its on your money for fuck sake...
