give up

we all come from different situations.

along the way we all have to give up stuff.

some of us know what we need to give up, but just can’t shake the habit.

some have given up smoking.
some have given up gossip.
some have given up drugs.
some have given up alcohol.
some have given up stealing.
some have given up lying.
some have given up a porn addiction.
some of us have given up time to the wrong things.

there’s also a lot of things that we don’t even realize that we need to give up.

for a long time that thing for me was having the wrong priorities.

the hardest thing was getting to that point where i actually wanted to change.

that was huge.

so, think about it…

what’s that one thing you’ve had to give up to get where you are today?

what’s something you need to give up to get where you want to be?

    I’ve had to give up some pretty bad money habits.

    Something I still need to give up is Starbucks. Obviously I haven’t given up all my bad money habits.

    I’ve given up in life all together… I gave up on God, Hope, Happiness, Peace, Rest, comfort, and much more…. To get where I want to go I have no idea how to for I want to find myself but it seems my true self doesn’t exist or is lost and confused but god things Ive given up where Smoking, Drugs, Cutting… And if I didn’t I don’t think I could have survived to this day…
