How to Stop Smoking, Lose Weight, Get Fitter, Earn More and Be Happy
If you really want to do something in life, it comes down to doing one thing: taking action.
And that’s true for just about everything in life. Whether you want to leave your job and start a business, or stop smoking, it comes down to just getting on with it. What you need in life isn’t more education, it’s more motivation. Let me give you an example…
Why do people smoke? They know they should stop. They know it’ll kill them. But they enjoy it more than they’d enjoy not doing it. So they carry on. In a similar way, why do people have affairs? They know it’ll wreck their marriage. They know it’ll hurt their partner. But they enjoy the way that other person makes them feel more than they’d enjoy having a great marriage. So they carry on.
People are basically crap when it comes to doing things they don’t want to, or aren’t accustomed to doing. Sadly though, it’s the only way to get the life that you want. So is there something you want to stop doing? Then stop it! Something you want? Do it. Get it.
Right now, write down three things you want to achieve or give up. I’m even going to give you a little space to do it…
- I want to…
- I want to…
- I want to…
Now take action. Right now. Don’t put it off, just do it.
Then share it in the comments, or over in the forum.

I just found your site via your comment at ZH, but I wanted to stop by and say “hi”, and what a fantastic niche! I love it! I would like to stop smoking, lose weight, get fitter, earn more and be happy (well, happier, anyway) so I guess I should stick around.
I like your blog — what a great find!
Hey Naomi! Thanks for stopping by. It’s odd you should mention ZH, as I’m a huge fan of Leo’s, and have been hanging around there for about the past year. Whilst I couldn’t yet claim that we’re friends, we (Leo and I) do correspond regularly, and I’d advise you to do the same. He’s one of the most giving souls I’ve had the pleasure to meet. And I’m guest-posting there in about a week or so.
Glad you liked the site. I’ve just checked out IttyBiz, and you can colour me impressed! I’ve just subscribed, and you can expect to see me pop up in the comments soon!
Anyway, have a great day. Shalom aleichem.
Pete,
Great post. Congrats on your guest posting at ZH soon.
I’ve changed fonts as you suggested on my site. Please visit and let me know what you think.
Also, I urge your readers to check my latest article on the WWII veterans and song clip that I’ve posted. It will bring tears ..
