Habits are amazing. Habits save the brain from work, help conserve brain fuel and allow you to perform tasks without thinking.
There are many shades of habits. Each of your habits affects different parts of your life. They can put you on autopilot for success, failure, good health, poor health, wealth, poverty and happiness or unhappiness. That’s how important habits are. If you want to change your life, you must change your daily habits.
In my research, I uncovered five Rich Habits that are transformational. These habits enable you to reinvent yourself, altering your life circumstances in the process:
- Pursue a Dream – The self-made millionaires in my study forged the habit of taking action on their dreams. Everybody has dreams, but few actually take action on their dreams. You need to develop the habit of taking action on your dreams.
- Build Goals Around Your Dream – Goals are the construction team for each one of your dreams. Successful people in my research build individual goals around each one of their dreams.
- Forge Habits Around Each Goal – You process the achievement of your goals by building daily habits around each goal. These daily habits allow you to effortlessly achieve your goals.
- Daily Growth – In order to change, you have to grow. Growth involves adding or improving skills and knowledge. You should devote about an hour every day to growth.
- Find Apostles – Apostles are individuals who share your dreams, goals and desires. They are like-minded individuals who think like you think. In order to change you must find apostles who are seeking the same change you seeking and then associate with them regularly. These like-minded apostles will infect you like a virus, spurring you on to change into the person you need to become in order to change the circumstances of your life.
