Truth is, you may always have that monkey on your back.
It’s about getting stronger, so you can bear the monkey on your back more easily. It’s about knowing your triggers, recognizing when you may be in a weak moment, and finding things that will help combat your cravings, addictions, and proclivities.
The monkey on your back only wants you to think in the moment. Think a few steps into the future. How will this next move affect you in the future? What decision will make you the happiest in the long run? What would your future self want you to do in the current moment?
Remember that the monkey is on your back; you’re not on the monkey’s back. That means you have the ultimate power.
We have dominion over everything. Make sure you use that power. Don’t let that monkey on your back have the power. Let it stay on your back and show it who’s really in control.
FLY, BLACK BOY
