The
Habits You Need to Succeed
The most
important habit you can develop for success, achievement and happiness
is the
habit of self-discipline. Perhaps the best definition of self-discipline comes
from
Elbert Hubbard, “Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you
should
do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”
Perhaps
the most helpful mental habit you can develop is the habit of optimism.
You
develop the habit of practicing “back from the future” thinking. In this type
of
thinking,
you project forward into the future to your ideal result and imagine what
it would
look like in every way.
You
develop the habit of “long-time perspective.”Instead of focusing continually
on the
moment, and on immediate actions and gratification, you instead think long term
about what you want and where you are going
Goal-orientation is
the second quality or way of thinking practiced by optimists
and all
successful people
Successful
people soon develop the habits of personal strategic planning.They sit
down and
make a list of exactly what they want to accomplish in the short,
medium
and long term.
The Seven
Step Formula for Goal Setting
Step One:
Decide exactly what you want in a specific area and write it down
clearly,
in detail. Make it measurable and specific.
Step Two:
Set a deadline for the achievement of the goal. If it is a large goal, break
it down
into smaller parts and set sub-deadlines.
Step
Three: Make a list of everything that you will have to do to achieve this goal.
As you
think of new items, add them to your list until it is complete.
Step
Four: Organize your list of action steps into a plan. A plan is organized on
the basis
of two elements, priority and sequence.
Step
Five: Identify the obstacles or limitations that might hold you back from
achieving
your goal, both in the situation and within yourself. Ask yourself, “Why
have I
not achieved this goal already?”
Step Six:
Once you have determined your goal, developed your plan, and
identified
your major obstacle, immediately take action of some kind toward the
achievement
of your goal. Step out in faith. Do the first thing that comes to mind.
But do
something immediately to start the process of goal attainment moving
forward.
Step
Seven: Do something every day that moves you to toward your most
important
goal. Make a habit of getting up each morning, planning your day and
then
doing something, anything, that moves you at least one step closer to what is
most
important to you.
An
important habit of thinking developed by optimists is the habit of
“excellence-orientation.”
Another
key habit of thinking and acting practiced by top people is growth
orientation.
“Hawthorne
Effect.” In
short,
what this principle says is that, “The very act of paying attention to a
particular
behavior causes you to improve your performance in that area.”
