Never take gratefulness for granted.

A simple list of things to be grateful for every day.

The big widsom bomb of the day:

WHAT YOU ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR

YOU WILL TREAT DIFFERENTLY.

Too many people try to be like everybody else. They dress like them, try to talk like them, copy their style, their mannerisms, and so on. DON'T BE A CLONE ARTIST!

There is some truth to the phrase, "I'm unique, just like everybody else."

There are people online who may be doing the same thing but nobody's doing it the same way. They make it uniquely theirs.

A unique person doing online SM marketing is Rachel Pedersen. She's unique, just like everybody else doing SMM. The individual gets the success

I don't know how many times I've talked about this & I don't care. It's because I've taken too many back doors in my past and don't want to take any more.

This is the 5th habit in the “20 Habits of Success” series

Control Your Own Life

This means you should take responsibility for your own life.

Being personally responsible means not making any excuses.

It wasn’t my fault.

The other guy screwed up.

Google Maps was wrong.

Florence Nightingale said it best…

“I attribute my success to this: I never gave nor took any excuse.”

What’s one job around the house that you absolutely hate to do? For me… mowing the lawn. Hate it.

It’s been said that one will work 8 hours for a job, 10 hours for a good boss 24 hours for a cause he believes in.

Hard work is a daily habit of character.

Interview with Jack Nicklaus about Tiger Woods. Jack was asked if Tiber would ever break his record of winning 18 majors in his career. Jack answered immediately by saying, “Absolutely, but he has to do it.”

Think back to your teenage years.

High school… Scary, right?

Think of the time you absolutely blew it… Missed the shot. Missed the tackle. Missed ask the girl out..

Got it in your mind…

You can’t. It’s impossible. It’s in the past yet you remember that failure and wish you’d done something different.

Past failures have a habit of creeping back into your head & telling you you’ll fail again.

Your past doesn’

Why is Personal Directiona habit? Because every day you need to wake up and know you have a clear direction in your life. Every day you need to wake up knowing and having something important to do. You have a clear direction and a target that’s way out ahead of you and today, you are heading in the direction of that target.
