Success Is A Habit
"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."
- Jim Rohn
If you were to take the time to research any number of successful people the one dominant trait
you would find is they are creatures of pre-determined habits. Often those habits are formed by
doing things repeatedly. Especially activities that are uncomfortable at first that make you stretch
emotionally, physically and psychologically as a person.
True leaders recognize that you must develop habits, creating a winning attitude and be an
example to others. Develop habits that force you to be active. You must make a commitment to
consistent action. You have to act with definitive of purpose, persistence and a burning desire to
reach your goal. To change your life you have to change.
Earl Nightingale, world renowned motivational speaker, states: "Success is the progressive
realization of a worthwhile endeavor." In other words "Success" is a pursuit based on persistent
consistent effort. This effort is established by creating habits that move you forward towards
your goals.
Based on my own personal experience, there are 5 basic habits that you must establish in your
life to become successful.
- You must have a dream, a goal, a desire, and a reason why, how ever you label it you
must have one. If you don’t know what you are reaching for you will never reach for
anything or accomplish anything.
- Read! Find inspiration and knowledge from experts in all aspects of your life.
- Find a mentor who is active and successful in the pursuit of a common goal. Study what
he or she does. If at all possible get to know them personally.
- Take massive action. Nothing in life is obtainable with out action. Your actions must be
consistent and persistent.
- Never quit! You may take years to accomplish something that you hope would only
take days or even weeks. But in the end you will realize that the journey was just as
important if not more so than the realization of your goal. Great things never come easily
and the reward will always be awesome, inspiring and invigorating.
You will want to repeat the process over and over again because success will become a habit!
Have an Awesome Day!
