Truth and Beauty

[cpk]

Four months of not smoking (as of today) has given me a thirst for truth and beauty. Smoking was tied up with a lot that wasn't beautiful. And a lot that wasn't truthful. Sometimes it's hard to avoid ugly stuff. But we have more control than we think. We can't change or control what others choose to do, how they act, or speak. But frequently we can move away from situations that don't bring us peace and tranquility, or don't feel safe, just like we can say nope. We have more control than we think we do. Living in a fresh new world isn't only about not smoking. It's about who we are, what we stand for, how we wish to be treated, and our choice of wholesome environments that will influence and nourish us. We have so much more power as nonsmokers than we did as smokers. We can transform our world. It's empowering to have the right to choose and to have the courage of our convictions...and to exercise it. This way we grow into free and beautiful and truthful people.

we set the tone for how we want to be treated....and it's a reflection of how we treat others..and how we treat ourselves too.

 

Beauty attracts beauty...ugliness attracts ugliness.  It's the way it goes. 

 

Congrats to you on 4 months cpk!!
