Quitting smoking is one of the most difficult things anyone can accomplish.

People start smoking for two main reasons: Peer pressure and self-image.

Panic and anxiety are common emotions amongst a great many people. They are debilitating, and they can severely impact the quality of their lives and their relationships.

Expectations.

Have you ever noticed how, when our expectations are not fulfilled, we often become frustrated and angry?

Here's a question.

What do you give the spouse who has everything?

Unconditional love may well be the core of most people’s relationships.

This is where we completely accept all of our partner’s quirks and foibles, and, still love him or her no matter how the person behaves.

Have you ever noticed how limited our thinking can be?

Let me illustrate.

Divorce. An ugly word with many negative associations.

I’ve been through one, my brother has been through one, and I am sure that many of you out there also have been through one.

Have you ever wondered how we communicate?

I know. We consciously think of what we want to say, wind passes through our vocal chords, they vibrate and words come out.

We are 100 percent successful in whatever we have put our minds to.

If we had not been, we would not be where we are today, wherever that may be.

In these troubled times we are constantly being barraged by continuous negative news.

Banks on the brink of failure, our economy on the brink of failure, manufacturing declining, high job losses, states unable to pay their bills, major companies going bankrupt, our housing crisis, and they go on.
