Just found the above after reading through some old posts and it's struck a cord with me today so wanted to make a note of it for myself and share it with anyone who maybe hasn't read it yet.

The part that clicked with me was:

it relates to our struggle to quit smoking, there are basically two kinds of pain, and we get to choose which one we'd rather endure; the pain of change or the pain of regret. yes, the pain of change (the pain of withdrawal from our addiction to nicotine) is intense; for many of us, it will be the most intense pain we've ever experienced. but it's also temporary; in a few days or weeks, it'll be pretty much over, and as long as we never feed our addiction again, we'll never have to endure the pain of withdrawal again.

but if we're not willing to endure the pain of change now, we'll almost certainly have to endure the pain of regret later. and it will affect not only us, but all those people whose lives we touch in one way or another.

Powerful stuff, bring on the pain I'm ready for it!!!

Nice one! It's so true. I don't want the pain of regret. Thanks for posting.
