Best Thing, Usher

This morning I read an article in the DesNews about MacKenzie Lamb, and his struggle to become clean from drugs. I have to say I have always been fascinated by those who come out to recover from an addiction. In fact, it's quite inspirational.

One of my favorite shows is Intervention on A&E. It focuses on the lives of someone addicted to a vice, and the struggle family/friends play to get them to rehab. I find it interesting that at the very end of the show, those who remain clean, and those who don't and the reasons why they weigh out the options to be addiction free or not.

So Congrats Mackenzie and all those who are working to become free from their addiction.

I cleaned my room today, and found this quote attached to one of essays I wrote from a professor:

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized.
