Who’s in Charge of Your Life?
It has been said that the flesh is weak. But your mind isn’t weak as long you remember you control your life.
When I was a boy of fourteen at Christmas vacation, my father and I were talking about all the holiday treats I was packing away. Right out of the blue, he said, “I bet you can’t go a year without eating any chocolate.”It caught me off guard, and so I said, “I bet I can,”Dad said, “Okay, I dare you.”So just before the tick of midnight on New Year’s Eve, I slammed down an insane amount of chocolate for the last time for a year, and began my challenge. I actually went through withdrawals, and was surprised at how many things I enjoyed had chocolate in them. But after a while, I got into my stride, and it became easier. A lot of my friends made fun and some even tried to sabotage me by hiding chocolate chips in my salad or milk. But I did it! I went an entire year and didn’t slip-up or cheat once. I gained confidence in my self-discipline, and was actually pretty proud of myself. By the way, the first time I ate chocolate the following year, I felt like I was sinning, I actually felt guilty.Several years later, I was living in New Zealand and was walking down the street with my best friend one day. As we passed one of their famous pastry shops, we noticed in the window some of the biggest, most beautiful cream puffs I’d ever seen, and they smelled so good. We stopped and stared for a moment and then I said, “Let’s get one.”
