You ultimately become what you repeatedly do. If your habits aren’t helping you, they’re
hurting you. Here are a few examples of
the latter that will steal your happiness if you let them:
1. Focusing on
everyone’s story except your own.
Don’t be so satisfied with the success stories of others and
how things have gone for them that you forget to write your own. Unfold your own tale and bring it to
life. You have everything you need to
become what you are capable of becoming.
Incredible change happens when you decide to take control. This means consuming less and creating more. It means refusing to let others do your
thinking, talking, and deciding for you.
It means learning to respect and use your own ideas and instincts to
write your passage.
If you want your life story to soar to new heights, you’ve
got to clear a path, reduce the time-sinks and burdens weighing you down, and
pick up the things that give you wings.
Keep your best wishes and your biggest goals close to your heart and
dedicate time to them every day. If you
truly care about what you do and you work diligently at it, there’s almost
nothing you can’t accomplish.
2. Waiting for the
perfect moment.
Don’t buy into the myth of the perfect moment. Moments aren’t perfect; they’re what you make
them. So many people wait around for the
stars to align to do what they’re here to do.
The perfect moment, the perfect opportunity, the perfect state of being,
etc. Wake up! These states of perfection are myths. They do not exist.
Your ability to grow to your highest potential is directly
related to your willingness to act in the face of imperfection. You will come to succeed not by finding a
perfect moment, but by learning to see and use life’s imperfections
perfectly. Read The Power of Now.
