Good morning all! No I am not running for office! What I am doing is looking around this site and finding a lot of folks who are trying to use these words to stop smoking and "Start" a new smoke free life! Unfortunately these are the wrong words!

We have no further to look than our own political landscape! We elected a President on this platform! Hope! What the hell is that! That is what you do when you buy a lottery ticket! That is what you hold out for someone else! If you want  do something different in your life, you have to make an effort. You have to get up off your butt and do something different. I am yet to find a single person who broke free of the chains of nicotine because they had hope! The way to do this is to learn what to do! Decide to do it. And and then follow through!!

Change will not do it either! Change is what you do when you want a new costume! And yes, we all wear costumes as we disguise ourselves as who we want to be! Change for the sake of change is worthless! Change does not mean you are going improve anything! In order to change for the better, you must first evaluate and understand what is right and what is wrong! Then you formilate a plan to change the bad things with out doing harm to the good! Once you have a solid plan in place, you act on it! Make changes for the good and anticipate unintended consequences! Be ready to adjust! Soon you will have a bunch of days behind you and you are well on your way to being the person you could have been a long time ago!

I wish you all well! Keep your Focus!! Never lose your DETERMINATION!!
