Rarely have we seen a person fail who has THOROUGHLY followed our path.

Don't leave before the miracle happens.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

These are the four paradoxes:

We must suffer to get well.

We must surrender to win.

We must give it away to keep it.

We must die to be reborn.

Ah-ha I have one that is close to yours, me thinks:

"my best thinking keeps me in addiction treatment".

Next of personal importance is:

"Take what you need and leave the rest" (leave it close at hand though...one never knows when it will come in handy )

And there is:

"If you sit in the morgue long enough you'll get embalmed"

But don't forget:

"keep going forward in recovery"
