The Power of Good Habits
- Most people dream about what they want but that remains a dream or they fail.
- Habits are founded on COMMITMENT and DISCIPLINE
- Commitment moves us into action.
- Discipline is what makes us successful in life
“It takes years to develop a good habit but only one second to break it.” – Dr. Frank Gibson
The Power of Bad Habits:
- If unchecked, people start to identify their lives by their bad habits.
- Bad habits are not who we are, but a result of not viewing ourselves with the dignity, self-respect, and self-potential we deserve.
Change is possible.
- People don’t want to face their bad habits but they have to understand that they change is possible.
- Using your mental ability can help you create good habits.
- You must also use your passion as your fuel.
- Set rules of engagement before setting off on these positive changes.
Strategies for setting rules of engagement:
- Identify what you want.
Identify what you want and determine what you need to get there. Always know the difference between want and need.
- Do a SWOT analysis on yourself.
Determine your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Get others to do it on you like friends or coworkers.
- Get the training.
Suck up on everything you can to fill any gaps that you see on the SWOT analysis.
- Take control.
- Become aware of what you need to have for a meaningful life.
- Don’t be afraid of change.
Be open and fearless of any possibility in your life because nothing is constant in life but change.
- Don’t ever be comfortable.
Just because it’s a great passion, doesn’t make it automatically successful.
Be new everyday: “The old dog died last night.”
Develop a habit that every single day, you are re-born. This way, it allows you leave the baggage of yesterday. Everyday is a fresh start.
Dr. Gibson’s Major Takeaway:
Barriers are not obstacles but strategy definitions. Many people are successful because they knew their courage and perseverance were greater than any obstacle. There are only false barriers.
