100: All the temporary relief, quick fixes, and instant gratification in the world won't make me feel better or advance me towards my goals.
I am accepting the fact that people do what they want to do for whatever reasons they choose to do them, whether it be right, wrong, or indifferent and some do so regardless of how it impacts or makes others feel.
I can heal with time and exercises. But I need to really focus on it and stop letting others put me off balance. I am captain of my soul, and a captain has sometimes difficult choices to make. I can't continue trying to heal my dysfunctional family. I can only decide what to do with myself. To live or not to live? That is the question. And I decide and plan and strive to live.
