High on Life

Have you ever thought about addictions? Have you thought about having an addictive personality?

I think we all have an addiction to something. Not the overt substance abuse - but there is something of substance that we abuse.

Are you addicted to being liked?

Are you addicted to pleasing others?

Are you addicted to doing the right thing?

When you are addicted to something you get a benefit from using - the hit brings a result. The result brings a feeling that you get accustomed to - so you build a dependancy.

Once you have a dependancy all your being strives for the next hit - you orchestrate events that will bring about that next hit.

Sometimes your hit or result can be destructive - but still gives you something you build a dependancy on.

Are you addicted to drama?

Are you addicted to being a victim?

Are you addicted to never being right?

Your addiction is there under the surface - sometimes so far beneath that you don't recognise it as an addiction. But it is.

And because some are not socially frowned upon (like success at any cost) - they become acceptable personality traits. So they become part of who you are. And it becomes you. There - you are addicted!

So become addicted to something that brings about good. Choose a good addiction. It's just an extreme habit - and you don't just get rid of a habit - you replace it. Same with an addiction - you don't just stop drinking - you replace drinking with the lifelong addiction of stopping yourself from drinking. It is still an addiction.

What are you addicted to? Is it good or bad? Does it hurt or help? Does it bring out the best or the worst in you.

The fact that you have an addiction isn't bad - it's what you are addicted to that could be.

Become addcited to living a good life. Become obsessed with it.

Get your fix everyday!
