I Love Success Stories

If any of the three demons, cigarrettes, alcohol or food, are consuming your healthy, read this!

I love success stories. In March, I published “$53,436.60”. Mr. “B” continues to do well. He has been without a cigarette for 4,102 days and now has $56,082.60 in the bank. His story has been read by close to 3,000 people and he has inspired others to stop smoking and get healthy. He has exercised his willpower and restored his health.

While accumulating “Wellth” by excelling at smoking cessation, he has accomplished two other amazing feats. In March, Mr. “B” broke off his love affair with food and alcohol. He has lost 30 pounds and, because he loves to pay himself for work done, has accumulated $2,677.50 in his “Sobriety Account.”

Yes, Mr. “B” must be a relative of Superman! Three of the most dread supervillains — cigarettes, alcohol and food — have been vanquished by this unassuming Clark Kent of the northwest suburbs. Mr. “B” has joined a very exclusive club. His other medical problems are slowly vanishing. Not only has he saved a large amount of money by vanquishing his demons, he is now profiting by spending less on medications and medical care!

If Mr. “B” can do it, you can, too. I have tried to convince Mr. “B” that he should become a motivational speaker, helping others join the ranks of Superman. Mr. “B” is enjoying his health/Wellth too much to hit the road on a lecture tour. Instead, he is doing his part by letting me write about him. His greatest pay is in knowing that his success has helped motivate others.

Imagine having $58,760.10 in your bank account and enough health to truly enjoy spending your savings. Imagine spending less time in your doctor’s office and pharmacy and the money you would save in medical expenses. Imagine living long enough to play with great grandchildren. If any or all of the three demons — cigarettes, alcohol or food — are consuming your physical and financial assets, vanquish them.

Paraphrasing Dr. Amen, willpower is a muscle. Exercise it regularly and it will serve you well. Start exercising your willpower today. Add to Mr. “B’s” Wellth by helping his story help you write your own success story.

Remember, the life Mr. “B” saves may be your own!
