Every day we are bombarded by information, books and articles telling us how to be successful in life. We know what to do, but most of the time we don’t do it. Knowing the right things to do is one thing and doing it is another. The problem is to take action and do it. To do something new is to get rid of your old habit and replace with a new one. Here are a few suggestions to get you started
- When there is no change: Just remember that you cannot expect to make progress in life when you don’t make changes. When there is no progress, it means there will be no growth and no success
- Set goal: The most important thing is to choose just one goal which means a lot to you. Focus on one goal is easier to attain than having too many goals. As an example, you know the benefits of getting up early and you want to change your old habit and be an early riser.
- Think of the benefits: Identify all the benefits of getting up early such as to exercise, have a leisurely breakfast, plan ahead and do things without rushing about with less stress. You will be motivated by all these plus points to start a new day early.
- Do it now: Get up early first thing in the morning tomorrow, don’t choose the “right day” to start off. The day will never come. Just get up 15 minutes earlier than before and gradually you will be able to get up an hour earlier,
- Do it every day: Make it a lasting and beneficial habit. Tell yourself that you are capable of making changes for the better in life.
Now that you are enjoying the benefits as an early riser, you can move on to achieve your next goal and the next. Making changes in life bring you more success.
Very good points here! This goes along with the saying "the first steps are always the hardest". I agree with your notion that to be successful in anything, you must get into it 100%! Your tip about setting goals is a great way to make small but progressive steps in the right direction. Accomplishing small tasks gives you a sense of accomplishment, without making the challenge impossible to attain. Thanks for sharing!
