It's about belief, not strength

[Jonny5]

My Karate teacher is 64, he's trained for 50 years and has a 5th Dan Black Belt.

 

He smokes because he believes he can't quit.

 

Seriously this guy is as strong as they come.

 

Being able to quit is about belief, not strength

[Leanna]

Wow, strong message Jonny. Very true! :)

 

Being "too weak" is just another excuse we often use. 

[TAC]

This is a very strong message, no pun intended, but wow.

 

I need to ask you, is it physical strength you speak of or mental strength?

 

I always thought they were different.

[Jonny5]

I speak of both George, yes they are very different. But in this example I think that mental and physical fortitude combine within high level martial artists.

[TAC]

That is sad, do you think you can help him?

[Jonny5]

It is sad George, unfortunately the same applies for all smokers.... they can only help themselves. All that we can do is Help steer them as they propel themselves under their own steam

[TAC]

In that case keep on him, be relentless, and kick his butt if you can.

 

Coming from a sales perspective, PERSISTENCE is the key, so don't let up.

 

You are his friend, and that's what friends are for.

Horses for courses George,

 

As his friend, I'll listen, and push him if he starts the journey, but the first step is his to take...  we know this from our own journeys :-)

 

 

...plus he'll kick my butt, and my ego couldn't take a senior citizen giving me an arse kicking lol :-)
