Power of Habit

“Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.” Mark Twain

I love that quote! The words that jump off the page every time I read it are “every day”. I think one of the keys to experiencing the outcomes we desire in life is our ability to create the right kind of habits.

We live in a world where there is a constant demand for everything. Because of that I believe being dedicated and persistent will buy you a lot of progress toward your goals. Just show up!!!! And keep showing up every day. Keep pushing and working and you will continue to make progress toward your preferred future.

Although motivation for something and having knowledge in a certain area helps, we have come to recognize discipline as the ultimate currency in whatever success we desire. No doubt skills and gifts play a part in our success, but the biggest contributor is our willingness to do the right things over and over again.

The way we develop the right habits is by doing the right things, the right ways, on a consistent basis.

In what areas of your life do you need some new habits? What habits do you need to change? What steps can you take today in order to create the consistency you need?

In our next post we will talk about the power of habit mixed with perseverance in making your ultimate life a reality. At Better Days Group we believe that all of us were created with a specific design or purpose for life and we want to help you move closer to that life. 

The greatest gift each of us has to offer the world is to be the best we can be. Today are you the best you that you can be? Why or why not? Spend some time evaluating and begin implementing the habits that will get you from where you are to where you desire to be!
