Positive Cornucopia and Gumption


What happened for me most was that these three writers helped me to not give up when things got tough. If you would take the time to read any of these books, they will help you also to get through hard times and give you tools to provide you a more positive existence. The book that is on my nightstand to finish reading soon--I'm already certain will be the catalyst for 2005 to round itself off to be my best year in ten--and that is a book by Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Choices. I want to personally thank Miami and Alexandra for believing in me and allowing me to believe in them. This allegiance is healthy and sharing health with others.

One thing I learned is that being thirsty for a positive and rewarding life had to become the goal. This goal needed to overpower a life full of sadness and illness. The thing I gained that helped me to change was gumption. It kept me hard at task and took away some of the habit of procrastination. Having and keeping gumption changed many of my defeating bad habits and changed me into someone who had the nerve to breakout of the relapse rut, which kept me always vulnerable to depression and illness. With gumption, anyone can have less pondering, more spontaneity, less re-thinking (more confidence) and less fiddling around (avoidance because of fear.)

Reading excellent books by qualified writers has not made me an expert on any of their subjects. Being an expert was not my goal; recovery and wanting to live instead of die was my goal; wanting to stay well instead of returning to sickness was my goal. The fact that I was able to move from allowing skepticism to control my life became paramount. You see, for the longest time, no matter how many 12-step meetings I attended or even with years of yoga and meditation along with acupuncture and chiropractic care, as long as I had doubts that I could stay recovered and stop living in relapse (using old negative behaviors to cope or depression, anger, or jealousy) without gumption, without tenacity and a strong determination, each negative thinking habit I had developed through the years continued to come to mind. They would win out - which always caused the relapse to win over the recovery. These strongholds, if they aren't dissolved by unwavering fixed resolutions,
