success and habits

HABIT is what we do continuously over a long period of time and therefore becomes a part of us.We may not be able to decide our destiny directly though,we are able to decide what habit(s) we imbibe.Habit determines our character,and our character determines our destiny and of course everyone desires a successful destiny.Hence the need to cultivate habits that attract success.

The following are some of the habits that if formed will produce success:

• Preparedness to take responsibility
• Action orientation
• Decision
• Innovation
• Planning
• Time management
• IntegrityExcellence
• Service
• Associating with the right people
• Persistence
• Positive confession etc. 

The ability to reproduce these efforts directed at inculcating the above habits builds up character and success becomes inevitable and performance at what is done improves.
Your performance strengthens your mind, thoughts and actions, taking you beyond the mediocre strategy of an average existence... giving you a revolutionary new way to access your true potential and achieve monumental results.
Bill Gates said “If you give people tools, [and they use] their natural abilities and their curiosity, they will develop things in ways that will surprise you very much beyond what you might have expected.”It goes to say that as unimportant as each of the habits you imbibe may look it goes a long way to determine how far you go in life.





The vast majority of people believe success, achievement, prosperity and happiness are things that just occur for some and not for others?
Statistics have shown that a large percentage of people believe, but perhaps don’t outwardly admit, that it is simply destiny or an outside force that we have no control over that deems us to be successful or average.
Try applying this way of thinking to a more defined matter. Picture this hypothetical situation. While on a walk through the park you run into an old friend, Joe. While you rehash on times past, Joe mentions that he is planning to become a lawyer. You ask Joe what law school he plans on attending, or if he is attending one now. Joe’s response: “I don’t attend a law school and I don’t plan on attending one. I feel I am simply destined to become a lawyer”.
What would your reaction be to this statement? How do you feel about Joe’s odds of becoming a lawyer? Wouldn’t it be extremely difficult if not impossible for Joe to become a lawyer without proper training when one considers the body of regulations that govern the legal world? A series of prerequisites must be met before one can become a lawyer—requisites that only law schools provide.

Most of us know that success within any profession, such as medicine, law, or automotive repair, demands thorough studying and diligent practice. To become a doctor, you must study medicine. To master Kung-Fu you must train with a Kung-Fu Master. Great chefs attend world-class culinary schools.
Professional accomplishment in a certain field demands vigorous action and intense study in that discipline, regardless of the vocation. A hypothetical conversation such as the one just presented is likely to never occur, because every regular Joe knows that a career as an attorney begins with studying law. Becoming a lawyer has everything to do with taking action to such an end, and very little to do with magical forces or destiny.

Common knowledge has bestowed upon us this level of understanding, but there is much that common knowledge doesn’t seem to cover: the way to a successful life.
To master the profession of achievement begins just like any other profession; it requires certain study. Just as anything else, the requisite habits must be learnt.
