There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done.

If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews

I have noticed that people tend to stop maturing when they start self-medicating. Everyone has very tough seasons of life, but by persevering through them we have an opportunity to mature and grow as people. Those who self-medicate, often thwart maturity as they escape the tough seasons of life rather than face them. ~Mark Driscoll
