There Is No Rescue Party

I hear so much fear out there. I read so many entries about how afraid you are because it is difficult. Yes, it is difficult BUT ....

So is anything that is worthwhile!!!!

If you were lost in a woods and hungry and scratched up from the thorn bushes and needing a shower and food and a clean bed ...what would you do? Would you sit on a log and whine and say "this is harder than I thought! I don't like this. I don't want to keep going. There are more thorns out there and I am hungry and tired and I don't like this place. It is uncomfortable and unfamiliar and unpleasant and unhappy. I am depressed! I am so very depressed! I want my friends here with me. I want my life back. I want my old comfortable home around me. I want my food!!!!"

Look at this picture. Who is going to fix this? Who is going to fix this picture? Is some wonderful hero going to swoop out of the sky and reach down and grab you off that log and whisk you off to a 4 star hotel? NO!!

NO!!! Nobody is going to come and rescue you. Get it through your head. You are alone in this. You are going to have to depend on yourself. You are going to have to step up to the plate and hit the homerun yourself. There is no substitute hitter on this one!!!

It's up to you and you alone. You will finish this story however you decide. You either get up off that log and stop whining about how difficult it is, or you sit there and light another cigarette and hate yourself. It's totally up to you.

I can tell you one thing. You can do it. It's not as hard as you think. And it's not as impossible as you think. You can do it. I did and I was the ultimate whimp. I was the biggest scairdy cat in the world. I couldn't even think about trying, let alone really trying. I would not consider it at all.

So, that's that. One day you see yourself sitting on that log whining and crying for somebody to come and make it easier. Then one day you say "enough is enough! I guess nobody is coming to rescue me."

That's it! There is no rescue party. No-one is going to come in and pick you up with a helicopter. You have to have faith in your own ability to walk out.

Good luck and start today! Tomorrow isn't a better time.
