Finally……….A nice refreshing viewpoint. I loved the way you broke this down. I know for myself I tend to get caught up in a struggle with self, trying to define who I am without a basis for definition…..I get caught up in the details…and can literally drive myself NUTS. Sometimes its nice to discover those who know how to say whats been said..but in a way that it has not been said before…good stuff.

I was once told the addicts consist of a small percentage of the population but affect pretty much everyone. I do not know if the statistics are accurate but in the US, there are maybe 2% of the drivers on the road under the influence of alcohol. That 2% cause 50% of all fatal accidents (with cell phones rapidly catching up). How does someone who isn’t an addict cope with that?

Dan,

That’s why I mentioned it at the bottom. I think much of this philosophy matches closely with the AA “one day at a time” approach. I’ve never had a serious addiction, but hopefully the idea can help.

Great post. I realize that you’re speaking of the character development of any average person, but I also wanted to point out that what you said can have a particular impact on those that are struggling to make huge changes in their life, including overcome addiction. I know so many people that try and change themselves over and over again and struggle because they continually fail, but if they are simply to focus on their habits, decisions, and thoughts for the day, who they want to become will take care of itself. It seems like they get overwhelmed when trying to tackle the whole thing. Great post. And I completely agree with the changes you’ve made to “Live as if you’ll die tomorrow.” That just isn’t practical to live that way.

You know, I hardly ever finish reading any of your posts.

At first you might be offended, but this is actually a compliment.

I start reading your posts when I should be working. Then you write these motivating posts about making the most of myself. Then before I’m even finished reading the post I’m spurred on to actually work and be productive.

(by the way I actually do finish reading your posts)

Hey Scott!! There’s saying about this exact same subject by the Muslim Prophet Mohammed. It goes: “Work for this life as if you lived forever, and work for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow”.
