Exactly! I was thinking of that when I wrote my post. This is such powerful wisdom. I am not a 12 stepper since I found out that they are against drinking (did you know that about them? WTF?) But this little gem should be tattooed on a part of my body that I see the most (ouch that might hurt a bit too much) anyway I should always remember it! Sometimes the simple wisdom is the hardest hitting. (I just replace my own name for "God" and it works just as well. You can replace your own name here if you want but I recommend your trying "Curtis grant me" for a while first. --- In [email protected], "Robert Gimbel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > I think this point of view may be good for things you can't change, > > but for things you can change it cuts off a valuable human motivator: > > noticing the difference between what we have and what we want. > > > > "Accepting" being overweight or poor seems like a shortcut of our > > ability to effect change in our lives.
