Give yourself time, be gentle on yourself and always love yourself as you are today and the next and the next, however when you do get the inspiration, the guidance on which direction your life must go, just jump over the abyss, however scary it may be. Know that it takes faith to do that which will achieve success and happiness in your life. Don’t make rash decisions, or act on a whim, but acknowledge true guidance and act!

I am South African. One of our class acts is Prime Circle. I include their lyrics for ‘Live This Life’. Great inspiration for living life, instead of just existing. Don’t you think?
Haven’t you wondered, haven’t you guessed
Haven’t you dreamed what’s coming round next
Haven’t you foreseen, master plan
All of this hold it in your hand
Deep inside you light a flame don’t you stay
down just get up again
Can’t you hear it, it’s a sign
To live (x4) this life
Now there’s something (x2) that’s changed me
Getting older a little bolder
I can see a new surrounding (ye)
Life’s about perception hope that you can see the proof
If you’re living in a palace or you got no roof
Stop complaining all the time, go now.
Come and go what to say
Make a move stop running away
Live this life, everyday,
Live on now
Time is of the essence, try to keep track
Once it’s gone(x2) it’s never ever coming back
Sometimes hard to handle (ye)
Please forgive me for the times when I just did not see you
I didn’t realise what I had or what I put you through
Feel it coming, ticking, chiming
Come and go what to say
Make a move stop running away
Live this life, everyday
Live on now

I have noticed that the better my self-esteem is the better my ability to stop smoking becomes. I know this because the last few days I have been feeling a bit down and I guess as a result I have allowed myself the unconscious, sometimes even conscious excuse to have a cigarette because “it will make me feel better”, when it doesn’t do that for the simple reason that it is tied to the fact that I have broken a promise to myself. From the level of my soul, I suppose it is for me to face the core truth that the spirit is always stronger than the body. From my experience when I focus on the victory of my spirit in the difficult times, it gives me the power, which one so badly needs to not fall victim to one’s addiction again.

After all, I cannot be a victim and have self-esteem at the same time, as the two are mutually exclusive. I must dig deeply and get back on track. Failure is not an option and self-esteem is my ally.
