“Why not?”

Journal Entry: 7/10/19:

I remembered I wanted an ice block at my wedding for $300 and dad said “Absolutely not.”

I have had many times during my life when I was craving something so bad that I would justify the want or addiction with the “Why not?” mentality and it more often than not gets me in trouble.

  • Why not smoke weed while blowing off the yard?
  • Why not drink wine every night?
  • Why not take out a loan for $30,000 if you only really need $10,000
  • Why not try and be an influencer on social media?
  • Why not try and make a million dollars by age 30?

I’m grateful today to have a program in place to smooth out the mountain tops and raise up the valleys to a more balanced, loving and structured live that I absolutely love.
