Answer 1

"If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got"

and of course, "Keep the Faith" by Bon Jovi. I listen to it whenever I get discouraged or feel like things aren't worth the effort-it always makes me feel better!

Answer 2

I just always think about what a tremendous gift life really is and reafirm that I won't ever take a single breath for granted or throw it away by doing something stupid. I use that to help me get through the tough times when I get the urge to go back to old, bad habits.
I always feel proud afterwards that I made it through.

Answer 3

Healing

Prosperity
With a thankful heart, I welcome the good that God has prepared for me.

Prayer by prayer, we create a consciousness of peace that blesses the world.

"Opinions are like bumholes, everyone has one but it doesn't mean you want to hear it!"
She was a sound, say it like it is, Yorkshire Lass and her wisdom lives with me still!
