At the end of the day, you don't need rewards, gifts, trophies, or acknowledgement from other people. If you gave it your everything, every day, then, at the end of the day, the only thing you will need to remind yourself of your efforts is a mirror.

My father stood me in front of a mirror when I was 13, and told me to live my life, so that I can be proud of the person standing in front of me. Only you know all your secrets, and only you can judge the person in the mirror.

When you live everyday to the fullest, have self discipline, the world around you becomes full of life, and so do you. You are on your way my friend.

Now, go buy some flowers, put on a suit and tie, and go tell that women of yours that you are done with the weed, and that she is your everything and that you want be the best man you can be for her. Starting today. Look her in the eye, hold her hand and say these things. Profess them to her and yourself, and then live by them. You will be surprised at the effect. You will walk taller, walk prouder, and be filled with confidence.

Good luck -
That's a damn good piece of advice. I wish somebody had given me that advice before I blew it.
