Stick to it!

Stick to a plan.  If you’ve been true to yourself and to others, keep going.  Don’t let anything get in the way of your changing process.

The natural tendencies to fall back into old habits is inevitable.  Pressures from many sources can deter your progress.  Just like any relationship, it takes time, dedication, and tests of character, in the easiest of times and the hardest.

Things may be easy in a comfortable, unchanging environment, but once things become difficult in a new surrounding, our resiliency is tested.  Just remember the progress you’ve taken.  Remember the time commitment you’ve sacrificed.  All is well until you forget your progress.

Once you’ve forgotten the journey and where you’ve come, all progress is lost.  Everything you’ve worked for.  Everything you’ve sacrificed is lost.  Don’t use these times of difficulty to make excuses.
