Every smoker wishes they were an ex-smoker… at least every smoker I've ever met. Sadly for most of them, those wishes will never come true. The reason for that is simple: They don't know how to do it and they probably aren't aware that quitting smoking is a learnable skill.

When you think about it, learning how to do something before you try to do it is how we accomplish just about everything we have ever done in this life. Yet when it comes to the issue of quitting smoking, I have never heard that approach taken by anybody… except me.

Give children the facts so they know what to expect.

Are you a parent who encourages your child to try new things, such as learning how to play the piano, the guitar, Taekwondo, hockey, speed skating, swimming, typing, etc.?

Life is built on routines. It’s easy to go years—or even decades—without consciously assessing what’s working and what’s not. As a result, many of us are surrounded by people, obligations, objects, and habits that aren’t exactly making our lives better (far from it!).

Well, no more. With a new year upon us, it’s the perfect time to take a fresh look at your daily existence—and drop all the dead weight that’s holding you back.
