Holidays and vacations offer an opportunity to break free from mundane, daily routines. It’s important to shake things up every now and then. Unfortunately, holidays and vacations can derail us from our good daily habits. Success requires that you do the little things every day that move you forward in life. The difference between success and mediocrity in life is that little bit of extra effort. The horse that wins by a nose makes ten times more prize money then the horse that come in second. The same holds true for wealthy people. When your holiday or vacation is over, that is the time to recover. In a day or two you’ll be back on track, headed for your final destination – success!

It’s the little things you do consistently each day that create success in life. Adopting just one good daily habit is like snowflakes on a mountainside; its benefits build up over time until one day you experience an avalanche of success event. It might be a bonus, new customer, promotion, a job you love, a house by the beach etc. Add just one new good daily success habit today and stick with it for a month. It will make you feel better about yourself and, after a month, you will want to keep doing it. Habits, depending on their complexity, take between 18 and 254 days to become permanent. After about six months, add another new good daily success habit. Each new daily success habit that you form will slowly transform you into a different, more improved person. You will hardly notice the effects of these daily habits but one day, down the road, they will create your avalanche of success event; some unintended consequence that transform you into a bigger, better person.
