Just how important are your HABITS?

Do you want a sure fire way to guarantee success in your life?

Do you want to be healthier? Richer? Happier?

If you could discover the secret to having it all, would you apply what you learned?

This little known secret has been discussed for decades, and been referred to in many ways. In their book “Success through a Positive Mental Attitude”, the authors, W. Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill refer to it as Cosmic HABIT Force.

What is Cosmic HABIT Force, and why is it important to you and your life?

As human beings, we are all creates of HABIT. We tend to do the same things the same way over and over again. We do them unconsciously, without ever thinking about them.

When we were young, we learned how to do everything from scratch.

Do you remember being taught how to tie your shoelaces? The first time you tried to do it by yourself, you probably tied a knot! You had to practice a few times before you got it right, and then, you didn’t really have to think about it ever again. For the remainder of your life, you automatically tied your laces the exact same way every time.

How about learning how to ride a bike. Remember that? The first few times you tried, you lost your balance and felt uneasy. But the more you practiced, the easier it got, until you could ride a bike without any problem at all. From then on, riding a bike was a breeze, and something you could do without any conscious effort.

The fact is, everything you do, and EVERYTHING YOU DON’T DO, is a HABIT. You have a HABIT of doing some things, and you also have a HABIT of NOT doing some things.

For example, do you exercise daily? Either you have the HABIT of exercising, or you have the HABIT of not exercising. And you repeat your HABITS day after day after day.

The key to having it all in your life is to LOOK AT YOUR HABITS!

Think about every important area of your life.

Look at your financial life. Do you have the HABIT of managing your money, or rather, do you have the HABIT of mismanaging your money? Or maybe, you have the HABIT of not managing your money at all. What’s your HABIT? It’s important to understand what your HABIT is in this area, because your HABITS produce your results.

Do you want to know what your HABIT is in the arena of money? It’s easy to see. Just look at your results. Look at your income. Look at your assets. Look at your net worth. They are all the results of your HABITS when it comes to your personal finances.

Suppose you don’t like the results you’ve gotten so far in this area, what can you do?

CHANGE YOUR HABITS AND YOU CHANGE YOUR RESULTS!

How simple is that?

What are your HABITS when it comes to your health? Do you get 7 to 8 hours of rest every night, or do you have the HABIT of burning the candle at both ends?

Do you have the HABIT of eating a nutritious diet, or do you have the HABIT of eating junk food?

Do you have the HABIT of taking vitamins and nutritional supplements, or do you have the HABIT of avoiding them?

Do you have the HABIT of eating a healthy breakfast every morning, or do you have the HABIT of skipping breakfast every morning?

Do you have the HABIT of seeing your dentist for routine checkups, or do you have the HABIT of avoiding the dentist?

Maybe your HABIT is to light up a cigarette first thing every morning, eat a twinkie, and start drinking by noon. Those are all HABITS too.

You are the sum total of all of your HABITS. And chances are, unless you’re as wealthy as you’d like to be and as happy as you’d like to be, you’ll need to CHANGE YOUR HABITS in many areas of your life.

It’s really a matter of becoming aware of what you truly want in life, and then acquiring the HABITS that will automatically get you there.

Much of what I write about deals with your personal financial success. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know that the one common denominator of all financially successful people is that they are excellent money managers. They have the HABIT of managing their money a certain way all of the time.

The end result is that they achieve more success financially than 95% of all of the people.

So, the question is, do you want to achieve financial success? Do you want to join the elite top 5% financially?

Jeff,
It took me 38 years to realize that my current habits weren't doing my any favors.

So I changed my way of thinking, and have started changing nearly every single habit that I've had.

I think all of us know are bad habits. I have never explored good habits. Usually the bad one become out of control and you have to realize something needs to be done. I will pick a good habit in my daily routine and see if I can concentrate and do it for at least 30 days.
