"Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow."

This morning I tried to meditate which is pretty rare. I thought about how I really dont have any pressing problems to deal with. Money is tight but thats about it. Then I thought about the things in my lifewhich were unhealthy and could lead to problems. There was a few things there. The reason I do these things is because they are enjoyable to me (playing on the internet at work, smoking, eating good tasting unhealthy food, etc..). I did ask God to help me in general even though I am having issues with the nature of God. I do find it very hard to refrain from potentially bad but immediately gratifiying things and I also find it hard to do the things I need to do unless they are things I want and enjoy doing. I often think that if I could have the discipline to only do things that were absolutely healthy for me for a period of say 3 months then at the end of that time I would wonder why I ever lived any other way. Good luck Lani.
