(Stimulants and will power)  
The central [[fact]] of these stimulants, my [[children]], is that they [[work]].  They do the job.  But each has a cost to the [[human]] [[body]] and [[soul]].  Those drugs that are smoked are certainly the most debilitating by putting the [[product]]s of combustion directly on tender, sensitive [[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungs lung tissue], and then the further [[effects]] of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine nicotine] and the other by-products all through the [[body]]--the diseases that come about most certainly.  Yet the stimulants work else they would not be used so extensively.  But what of the [[will]] [[power]] they replace?  What about that old-fashioned notion of gumption?  What about the [[dignity]] you are able to earn through sheer [[will]] [[power]], when the genuine accomplishment we speak of is done more or less on your own?  Almost without exception you’ve experienced this too, my children.

Here seems to be something not of [[ego]], not of your notions of yourself, but something positively [[spiritually]] there when you decide to give up some unhealthy [[habit]].  As day by day when you are able to do so, something of this will power seems to accumulate with a genuine [[freedom]].  Might I suggest this is part of your [[soul]], part of the [[wealth]] you are building as you go through life.  This is the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Regaining_the_Ability_To_Love-2005-10-04 ability] to do [[things]] directly without any intermediary but good [[nutrition]], good [[rest]], and [[will]] [[power]].
