"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." - Winston Churchill
My episode of "The Fattening of America" for this week deals with aftermath. I used the example of the tulips that litter our fair city. Last week they were arrayed in glorious splendiferous colors and now they are bare stems.
Maybe you've fallen off the wagon. Indulged a little too much. Got off track and are now dealing with the aftermath of those choices. Sure it's easy to feel guilty or have a "what's the use?" attitude, but it doesn't have to be that way.
The city isn't going to leave those stems all summer. They will be dug up and new flowers will be planted in their place. Just like that we need to remember to dig out the old stems in our journeys and plant new fresh ideas and perspectives.
A weird analogy - Think of the post-apocalyptic movies that are out ("The Road Warrior", "Phoenix the Warrior", "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome", etc.). After the bombs dropped and civilization was in dire straits - did the survivors give up? No, they adapted and learned to start anew. So must we.
