Have I read “the 7 habits of highly successful people” ?
Sharpen the saw. Don’t work yourself to death. Strive for a sustainable lifestyle that affords you time to recuperate, recharge and be effective in the long-term.
Be proactive. You have a natural need to wield influence on the world around you so don’t spend your time just reacting to external events and circumstances. Take charge and assume responsibility for your life.
Begin with an end in mind. Don’t spend your life working aimlessly, tackling whatever job is at hand. Have a vision for the future and align your actions accordingly to make it into a reality.
Put first things first. To prioritize your work, focus on what’s important, meaning the things that bring you closer to your vision of the future. Don’t get distracted by urgent but unimportant tasks.
Think win-win. When negotiating with others, don’t try to get the biggest slice of the cake, but rather find a division that is acceptable to all parties. You will still get your fair share, and build strong positive relationships in the process.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood. When someone presents us with a problem, we often jump right to giving a solution. This is a mistake. We should first take time to really listen to the other person and only then make recommendations.
Synergize. Adopt the guiding principle that in a group, the contributions of many will far exceed those of any individual. This will help you achieve goals you could never have reached on your own.
How do I change bad habits into good or investible habits?
Changing your mindset, Perception = Good Change
Complacency, don’t get caught up thinking you did enough = Good Change
Is procrastination a good or bad habit?
I’ll let you answer this one…
Is Perfectionism a bad or good habit?
I’ll give you a clue, no…lol
Habits are like daily micro goals, small hinges swing big doors. Watch your Actions for they become your habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. Character leads to Destiny. What we think, we become. Start focusing on YOU and your goals, build a routine and implement good habits by replacing bad habits. This is your foundation, take time to really reflect on who you currently are, and emplace good habits that will lead you towards who you really want to become! Once you know what you want, it automatically eliminates all the things you don’t want & once you learn who you are, it’ll promote everything you want in life as well!
Do I have gaps?
Here is a page out of my eBook
“ Your past doesn’t define you, but everything up till-now is your fault”
Yes, we all do, it's the result of complacency. Managing our daily gaps or boredom throughout the day requires daily detachment from reality. Taking a step back from your life to re-evaluate or re-assess your life or position is part of your self development & growth.
Mogressive is an opportunity for you to challenge your life, and to go from good to great by: Removing limitations, conquering your fears, and by filling in your gaps with good or “Investible” habits.
Taking back your time and energy
Getting over self-doubt
Staying motivated for school.
And how to start believing in yourself.
To achieve great things, we must challenge our time, energy, focus, and attention.
Start a section on your Vision Board and label it, “Gap ideas” Whenever you feel bored or find yourself distracted. Refer to your vision board. Let's start putting in good habitual habits.
For example, I’ll put things under my gap section, that make me laugh, challenge, or learn.That can derive from videos, articles, books, podcasts, music, calling someone, meditating, journaling, going for a walk/run/drive, eating food, game out online, etc..I think you get the gist of it.
Getting into this type of mindset or critical thinking “mode” questions your current reality. One of the first Mogressive steps is Getting to know yourself. Ask why!? Ask all the Why’s in life. For example, why don’t I have time, why can’t I lose those extra pounds, why can’t I find companionship, why did I react that way, why am I not as successful as I would like to be, why am I not motivated for school, why do I hate my J-O-B and so forth…
Make a decision and not only trust yourself but trust the process through patience and visualization. (In chapter One we go over Vision Boards, Goal setting, and visualization techniques).
You have the Power! You have 2 Powers! The first, Power of choice. You can choose today to start making changes to your ordinary life! Its cost $0.00 to be grateful for what you have currently. You have the choice to choose what you really want out of life and no one or not one thing can stop you mentally. The Second…The power of reaction, “never react emotionally, react professionally.” never let any one person know what you’re thinking bro. Nor should they have that right. How you react to life’s emotional rollercoaster will dictate your direction or outcome in life.
