It is been said that it takes about 30 days to form a habit.
•
The ones that are good for you require cultivation and
determination. The starting phase is the hardest,
especially if you want to change an old habit into a new
one
.
•
This is why giving yourself a challenge for a minimum of
30 days is a great way to improve all facets of your life.
Goals vs. Dreams
•
Dreams are your ultimate destination
–
Represent what you want and why
•
Goals are intermediate stops along the
way
–
Represent your plan to get to your dream
Creating specific goals
•
A specific goal has a much greater chance
of being accomplished than a general
goal.
•
A general goal would be, "Get in shape.“
But a specific goal would say, "Join the
YMCA and work out 3 days a week."
Setting specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely goals is crucial for success. Without a clear destination, it's easy to stray off course. Learn from famous failures who persevered to achieve greatness. Keep trolls away, set SMART goals, and avoid vague objectives. Understand the difference between good and bad goal setting to stay focused on your path to success.

"Wasn't fit for television." Walt Disney Fired from a newspaper for "lacking imagination" and "having no original ideas"... Lionel Messi At age 11 he was cut from his team after being diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency... which made him smaller in stature than most kids his age. Steve Jobs At 30 years old he was left devastated and depressed after being unceremoniously removed from the company he started. Eminem A High School dropout, whose personal struggles with drugs and poverty culminated in an unsuccessful suicide attempt... Thomas Edison A teacher told him he was... "Too stupid to learn anything" and that he should go into a field where he might succeed by virtue of his pleasant personality. The Beatles Rejected by Decca Recording studios, who said "we don't like their sound"... "They have no future in show business" Dr. Zeuss His First Book Was Rejected By 27 Publishers. Abraham Lincoln His Fianc Died, Failed In Business, Had A Nervous Breakdown And Was Defeated In 8 Elections.
