Your Success Is Just A Habit Away.
Do you realize that your habits determine whether you will fail or succeed? If you practice the habits that the successful practice you will get the results that the successful receive. Adopting the habits of the successful includes understanding the thinking behind the habits. Let’s take a moment and sample some of the best habits.
Habit 1: Visualize the end result at the beginning.
Today I heard a great acronym for visualizing the end result at the beginning. The acronym CCMP stands for Clear Concise Mental Picture. The successful have a Clear Concise Mental Picture of the end result of their desire. The top athletes do this all the time. They create a clear concise mental picture of winning and they fully experience it in their minds. They do this before way before they actually participate in the event. This is what you must do. Create a Clear Concise Mental Picture of yourself with your goal. See it, feel it and experience it before you get it.
Habit 2: Identify your 20% and work it.
I have written about the 80/20 rule in previous posts. It is important for every goal you create that you figure out the 20% of the activities that will provide 80% of the results. There are a vital few activities that are truly important for you to meet your goal. Focus your efforts here and you will accelerate your rate of success.
Habit 3: Follow a successful model.
Many people fail because they do everything by trial and error. While trial and error has its place finding and following a model of success is a better option. Successful people have gone before you. Find out what they did and do it. Simple.
Habit 4: Treat people right.
Truly successful people know how to treat others. They follow the golden rule of doing unto others as they would have others do unto them. In fact, truly successful people know how to do unto others as others would have them do unto them. In other words, take time to find out the goals those around you and help them achieve their goals. When you help others achieve their goals you will receive help in completing your goals.
Habit 5: Believe in yourself.
Successful people have the habit of believing in themselves even when no one else believes in them. They know that they have value and that their dreams have merit. This is a must for success. Believe you can achieve your goal. To paraphrase an old saying: whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you’re right.
Incorporate these habits into your life and you will go a long way towards achieving your goals. As always I welcome your comments.
Habits are hard to start but once you get a habit it is equally hard to break. Developing good habits are what we are told from youth. Good habits help you to create a healthy environment and a healthy life.
So adapting goods habits of success is essential.
1.Visualize- the bible lets us know that we should first consider a matter before we take it on. ( im paraphrasing of course) So in line with the word we must see our end at the beginning of the task. We should know see where we are going so that we can move in the direction of our desired end. I do this on a yearly basis. I visualize where I will be by the end of the year and move in the direction of my desired goal.
2. Identify 20%- Maximize your greatest asset to your goal. I work well when I glean from doing the one thing I do best. The thing that does not take alot out of me but it accomplishes a great deal. ( that would be teaching for me)
3. Successful example- I learn this from watching my dad. He maximizes on teaching the word and writing books. Writing and teaching have been keys to his success. He has been writing since he started in ministry over 25 years ago and he is still reaping the benefits of some his old sermons and books that he wrote.
4. Treating others well is just right to do. What you reap you will sow!
5. If you do not believe in yourself it will be quite difficult for you to sell your ideas to anyone else. Your success starts with You!!!!!!
