The Power of Small Habits
Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations. This week’s blog is all about habits. During our Early Morning Group Coaching series, I’ve been diving into the subject matter to help my clients understand how their life is created.
On your journey to living life effectively, YOU SHOULD BE FAR MORE CONCERNED WITH YOUR CURRENT DIRECTION THAN WITH YOUR CURRENT RESULTS. Where are you going based on the habits you have incorporated into your life.
YOUR EFFECTIVE LIVING OUTCOMES ARE A LAGGING MEASURE OF YOUR HABITS.
FINANCE: Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits.
FITNESS: Your weight is a lagging measure of your eating habits.
EDUCATION: Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits.
ENVIRONMENT: Your clutter is a lagging measure of your cleaning habits.
YOU GET WHAT YOU REPEAT ON THIS JOURNEY.
Time magnifies the margin between success and failure on this effective living journey. It will multiply whatever you feed it.
GOOD HABITS MAKE TIME YOUR ALLY.
BAD HABITS MAKE TIME YOUR ENEMY.
Most people don’t realize goal setting has so much to do with the kind of habits you incorporate in your life. If you want to predict where you’ll end up, all you have to do is follow the curve of tiny gains or tiny losses, and see how your daily choices will compound ten or twenty years down the line.
The purpose of setting goals is to win the effective living game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the effective living game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.
IT IS YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE PROCESS THAT WILL DETERMINE YOUR EFFECTIVE LIVING PROGRESS.
HABITS ARE THE COMPOUND INTEREST OF SELF-IMPROVEMENT.
Getting 1% percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-run. If you are interested in taking better control of your life when it comes to incorporating healthy habits, join my Group Coaching Community today and learn how to live life effectively.
