Pronounced like
this, Hopium seems to be the elephant in the room for many.
Itâs a dangerous drug, and I can only hope and pray youâre not addicted.
While opium comes from poppies, âhopiumâ comes from:
- uninformed decisions
- lack of planning
- fear of facing reality
- an âIâll do it tomorrowâ attitude
- and moreâŠ
You probably know someone that suffers from a âhopiumâ addiction. Rather than facing reality and embracing control of their own lives, these poor souls are quite literally relying on a hope and a prayer.
And Iâm sure I donât need to tell you thereâs a better wayâŠ
You donât necessarily need help from me, but it might be worthwhile to get some help and support from someone.
Make a plan, put it into action, and regularly review and update it. Itâs as simple as that. But simple and easy arenât the same thing, especially for someone with a hopium problem.
Or as the Cheshire cat and Alice in Wonderland discussed,
âWould you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?â
âThat depends a good deal on where you want to get to,â said the Cat.
âI donât much care whereââ said Alice.
âThen it doesnât matter which way you go,â said the Cat.
ââso long as I get somewhere,â Alice added as an explanation.
âOh, youâre sure to do that,â said the Cat, âif you only walk long enough.âÂ
Personally, I believe itâs good to know where youâre going and how youâre going to get there even if we know there will be some necessary detours and alternate routes along the way.
