You Become the Person of Your Habits

You Become the Person of Your Habits

“Every Grown-up man consists wholly of habits,

although he is after unaware of it and even

 denies having any habits at all.”

George Gurgjieff 1866 - 1949, Spiritual Teacher,

Philosopher   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

You become the person of your habits

We all have them . . . . they’re our habits. Some habits will make a positive difference in your life . . . .  and some you need to drop like a hot potato. Some habits will pave the way for your success journey . . . . and some will have the capacity to create barriers on your journey.

Habits are formed over time . . . . As they are formed they become ingrained habits that are repeatedly done over and over without giving them much thought to your actions.

People become a creature of their habits . . . .  and over time their habits make them who they are.  

Your productive habits should be fostered as they become your strengths . . . . They become the foundation for your success journey to take you to greater levels of achievement.

You also develop habits that can be holding you back from reaching your full potential.  

The bad habits need to be identified . . . . and replaced with a new productive habit.

In time you become the person of your habits.

Raise the Bar For Your Expectations

Raise the Bar For Your Expectations

“Achievement is largely the product of steadily

raising one’s level.”

Jack Nicklaus, Professional Golfer

As I see it . . . . . . . .

Raise the bar for your expectations

When you establish crystal clear expectations for your future . . . . you create the foundation in your mind for what you want to achieve . . . . and on how you will achieve our maximum potential.

Steadily raising the bar of your expectations and aspirations just a little higher and a little out of your reach cause you to stretch out of your comfort zone. As you stretch out of your comfort zone you stretch your potential. As a result your potential steadily grows . . . . and will never return to its previous size.

Continually raise the bar for your expectations will maximize the level of your achievements.

When You’re Doing What You Love to Do

When You’re Doing What You Love to Do

“What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world

that I did best-which I believed then and believe now is the

greatest privilege there is. When I did success found me.”

 Debbi Fields, Entrepreneur

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you’re doing what you love to do

When you’re doing what you love to do. . . . You’ll put your best foot forward in your efforts to those things you love to do. When you do . . . . success becomes within your reach.

There are far too many people who labor at their profession . . . . and don’t enjoy what they’re doing. They will labor their life away without ever putting their best effort or heart into the things that they are doing.

The person who doesn’t enjoy what their doing . . . .  will end up living an unfulfilled life with minimal results. Their days will seem to drag on and becoming long and tedious. It gets to the point where the only thing that they see as important in their day . . . is quitting time.

They hate going to work . . . . and what they are doing. Their life becomes a refection of their attitude which is mitered in a negative world of thinking and actions.

Do what you love . . . . and your days will become day’s filled with possibilities. Your days will fly by . . . .  and you’ll be lifted in the direction of your goals.

Do what you love to do with passion and the extra effort will become routine. The pace of your success journey will accelerate to higher levels of achievement.

When you’re doing what you love and do . . . . what you do will flow and seem effortless and greater success will be within yours your reach.

Anger Creates Bitterness

Motivational Power Quote

Anger Creates Bitterness

“When Anger rises think of the consequences.”

Confucius 551 BC – 479 BC, Chinese Teacher, Editor,

Politician, Philosopher

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Anger creates bitterness  

Anger is the killer of careers . . . . relationships . . . . and a person’s success.

People are not comfort being around people that have bursts of anger. Most people will try stay away from that person whenever it’s possible

. . . . and in time they will push everyone away from them.

When you find people in leadership positions that are prone to fits of anger you will find that the people who work for them . . . . will never work or achieve their peak potential. Nor will they take the risks that are needed to succeed in their environment.  

The lenders anger stymies innovation . . . . creativity . . . . risk taking and the growth of the company.

The person that has fits of anger is also a blamer . . . . and they will blame anything and everything of the people around them or anyone else they can find. They will not take any personal responsibility for their actions or for anything that goes wrong under their watch or in their life.

As a result of the leader bursts of anger everyone around the leader . . . .  goes into a shell of protection and function far below their full capacity.

A person that routinely demonstrates anger becomes self-destructive to themselves and to the people around them. They will limit the level of their person success and what the teams achieves. It will become increasing difficult for leader to hold onto what they have achieved as a result of their personally.

Anger creates bitterness and resentment . . . . with everyone that the person comes into contact with. They also will have very little support from friends, family or business associates and eventually their anger will become the weight that sinks them.
