A quote from Anthony Robbins. Relating to my dream and previous post.
“A person who believes they have DEVELOPED A DRUG ADDICTION can clearly change. It will be difficult, but a change can be made, and it can last. Conversely, a person who believes himself to BE A DRUG ADDICT will usually return to the use of drugs even after weeks or even months of abstinence. Why? It’s because he believes that this is who he is. He doesn’t have a drug addiction; he is a drug addict. … once a person has a conviction about anything, he will ignore and even defend against any evidence that’s contrary to his belief. Unconsciously, this person will Not believe that he can change long-term, and this will control his behavior.
In addition, there’s often a secondary gain involved in the process of maintaining this negative behavior. After all, this man can blame his addiction on something he can’t control-it’s simply “who he is”–instead of facing the reality that taking drugs is a conscious decision.”
I just wanted to share this as food for thought. I don’t want to say too much more because I have lost it twice and do not wish to type it over again. Have a great everyone!
