“I cannot understand why people insist on the fact that one cannot give up a thing once he is accustomed to it. One can do it very easily if he makes up his mind fully, resolving to quit it forever. It is all a matter of character and determination.” ~’Abdu’l-Baha

I stumbled upon this post sometime during the fast and was immediatley drawn to smoking. Quitting was something I had been thinking about and a number of circumstances leading towards quitting had come together, but this quote is really what pushed me over the edge. I have not had a cigarette for over a week now and I love it. It brings me so much freedom and joy. I don’t feel like I’m home free yet, but I’m confident I can make it. I now have a screenshot of the bottom picture and the quote as my desktop for a reminder. Thanks for finding this quote and sharing it. I know I was meant to see it, but i felt like you should share in this victory for me.
Thanks

That’s so awesome ryan. Booya. Abdu’l-baha knows how to set us straight! Thank you for that.
What is the source of this quote? I keep telling people about it and they want to know.
Hey ryan, I read it on page 213 of the book, “Fire and Gold” that is a Baha’i book of quotes compiled by Brian Kurzius.
