To break that cycle requires a great deal of personal will, strength of character, and tremendous focus. You know I always say that the things we focus on expand right? Well the focus required to replace a bad habit with a good one is off the charts. Its the kind of focus that common men don’t have the strength for, it’s hard, and it can be uncomfortable. It’s a good thing for us that we are not common men…we my friends, you and I, are better men. But, even the best of men will slip at times, or go through a tough patch. We are human beings and thats just part of life. Its at times like these that it really helps to have a mentor. Someone to hold you accountable, someone that will be straight with you when you need it. A person you can rely on to help you alter your perspective when you need to.
