Habits ....A secret mantra of Success
We all have habits. Some of our habits are
known to us & some are unknown. This may sound absurd but yes we don’t
realize which act of ours has become a habit. Now, if I tell you that your
habits can make or break your future, how does that sound? Yes, you read it
right. Irrespective of your smartness or other talents your habits actually
make your life. So let’s understand how & why our habits have such a
massive impact on our lives.
Good Habits Vs Bad Habits
For obvious reasons, habits are of two kinds.
One kind is the good ones which create better surrounding for us generate
better opportunities for us & build our character. Another are certainly
the bad ones which create hindrances in our growth path, make us restrained
humans & create a negative impact on our future. If you have serious
intentions of developing good habits in your life, you should sit down and make
a list of bad habits you have. This is not as complex as it sounds. You can
take help from your parents, siblings & friends. As soon as you are ready
with the list, start your efforts to stay away from them (as much as possible).
How to develop good habits?
Developing good habit is very easy. It may
look like a huge task but take my words it is not. Start on a small scale. Take
two things which you want to inculcate in your life. For example, reading books
& waking up early. All you have to do is keep these two tasks on top of
your list for 21 days. In simple words, for 21 days you have to wake up early
& read at least for two hours a day. If we break it up like this it will be
very simple to manage. After 21 days you will find it very easy to maintain
these habits with the use of little effort. Now you are ready to take us next
set of habits.
What can we expect from Good Habits?
Good habits have a long list of benefits
attached. Let us see a few specific benefits associated with some of the best
practices (habits).
