Habits can contribute to your success or misery

“Why are people unsuccessful in life? I can tell you that it is due to habitual habits that decrease their likelihood of sustainable success. Depending on what they are, our habits will make or break us. We become what we do. repeatedly. “Sean covey

The dictionary points out that a habit is a routine of behavior; it is a fixed way of thinking more or less about something. So if I’m in the habit of running every morning, exercising, and eating healthy meals every day to keep my body and mind healthy and fit, then those are good habits. On the other hand, if I smoke cigarettes or vaporizer every day, which causes damage and many diseases to my body and lowers my health, then smoking is a bad habit.

I have a saying that says “it is not who you are that stops you, it is what you think you are not that stops you.” We have full control over our destiny, but we do not pursue it. The beginning of a habit is what you digest in your mind every minute of the day. Those thoughts, dreams, or visions become part of your subconscious that forms these habits. “We become what we think about” day after day. Your mind is the sum total of the habits and thoughts that enter your subconscious. Those thoughts turn into actions and those actions turn into habits. It sounds simple, but why are people not successful in life?

John Dryden says, “First we create our habits and then our habits make us.”

“If you don’t like the results you see every day, change it. Your habits will determine your future.” – Jack Canfield

So if you like where you go, stay on track. If not, change address. I have three suggestions.

1. Read books that will inspire you, motivate you, and give you purpose. For example, read the Bible (Proverbs chapters and / or the Psalm book). Read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and / or The 15 invaluable laws of growth by John C. Maxwell. Digest these materials day and night. You must have the intention to pour into your subconscious the pure, the powerful and the resolute. Lastly, listen to successful people and study how they form successful habits.

2. Surround yourself with successful people. There is a saying: “You are the average of the five people you relate to.” If you hang out with highly motivated and successful people, it will rub off on you. “Remember, your association determines your destiny.” – Myles Monroe.

3. If you can’t change your clothes, join a group of men or women who will not only lift you up, but hold you accountable.

Success comes with deliberate actions and behaviors. These actions and behaviors form habits and routines. When we fail, it is often easy to lose confidence in ourselves. You must visualize and believe that you can turn bad habits into good habits. Remember, success comes with deliberate actions.
