Growing Up Types Habits that Hurt

"Adult Wisdom – Stay away from social habits that lead to addictions especially the ones that seem fun like food, alcohol, drugs etc.” It presents itself as fun and it seems like fun but the result of any addiction is devastating. Do not join those who drink too much or gorge themselves on meat. Monarch caterpillars feed on milkweed, if they become addicted to some other plant they will not be able to finish the metamorphosis process. The milkweed arms the butterfly with the bitter taste from the milkweed that will protect the butterfly from predators; because they hate the taste.  It would be tragic for the butterfly if it became addicted to a plant that tasted good to its predators just for the fun of it.

 

Never say to yourself "that won’t happen to me", you have to wait and see. Why take such a great risk just for fun. If you know anybody that is addicted to anything they probably said it will never happen to me.

CV White Quote: (Adversity is the engine that sparks creativity)

"If you are going to just hang around somewhere make sure that it is a safe, productive, wealthy and healthy place so that you can become what you desire, otherwise you may drop off and never come into the desires of your heart." Remember, you will always be going through some kind of process because the more you advance, the more you know that you need to advance further.  Be wise about the people you choose to hang around with and the places you choose to hang out in.  Look around at both and consider what you see, then ask yourself is that want I want to be, if so, you are in the right place.  These caterpillars are all going to look the same when they finish this process.
