Just very randomly, out of no where, I was reminded of my very dear lecturer from my University days again. She once told me this, "When you are at the rock bottom, the only way left is Up."
This sentence hit me like a boulder, I was pretty shaken after that. That single sentence changed my life, and it took me quite a while before I realize what that one single sentence was telling me about, and what changes it made to me.
Before long, my living motto became "Change what you can, and don't let what you can't change bother you".
I don't think I ever strike out to be someone as inspiring as my lecturer, but I still hope my message is sent across to you junkies out there. Life is a whole lot more interesting, when you start focusing on the right things. Things, that you can change.
DDOJ:
A very elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary. The old man leans forward and says softly to his wife "Dear, there is something that I must ask you. It has always bothered me that our tenth child never quite looked like the rest of our children. Now I want to assure you that these 75 years have been the most wonderful experience I could have ever hoped for, and your answer can not take that all that away. But,.. I must know, did he have a different father?"
The wife drops her head, unable to look her husband in the eye, she paused for moment and then confessed. "Yes. Yes he did."
The old man is very shaken, the reality of what his wife was admitting hit him harder than he had expected. With a tear in his eye he asks "Who?.. Who was he? Who was the father?"
Again the old woman drops her head, saying nothing at first as she tried to muster the courage to tell the truth to her husband. Then, finally, she says "You".
Adios!
