For me it was these.
“A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius”
“Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter”
These two quotes really helped get my @** in gear.
I started smoking when i was 12 or so. I tried most of my life to quit, with no success. Then one day at work an older woman walked past me as i smoked and simply said along the lines of quitting will improve your life and smiled at me. She did not get preachy or anything, just made a simple statement and went on with her day. I later found out she was a lung cancer survivor. But those few words and the smile were enough to motivate me to quit. It will be 20 years in November since i took my last drag.
For my wife, a pirated copy of Allen Carr’s easy way to stop smoking video worked in one sitting.
For a couple years anyway.
Happy for you. 🤗
Hey, good for you! Well done!
