I was fifteen years old at my first school dance. Mom had prepared me well, as I knew all the popular dances. My favorite was the two-step because even if I got nervous and lost my place, I could still look as if I knew what I was doing. I practiced over and over again until I knew I was a pro.

My excitement grew as the day of the dance approached. The prettiest girl in my class, Sharon, was going to be there that night. She had the smile of an angel and beautiful hair to match. I set my sights to dance all night with Sharon. The day of the dance finally arrived, which caused the entire school to buzz at a fever pitch.

Everyone has habits. We have good habits and we have bad habits. You might not even classify some of your actions as habits, but keep this in mind: Anything that you think, say, or do more than once is becoming a habit. It is impossible to QUIT a habit. A habit must be REPLACED.

This is why most people fail at changing a habit; it takes a consistent, mindful and sustained conscious effort.  Forming a habit is not 21 days over the course of a month; it is 21 days in a row. This causes us to go outside of our comfort zone for 3 weeks straight, and most of us do not Read More...

For many people, goal setting is just an exercise in futility. We know we should do it, but it just never seems to work. We set goals, but never really achieve them. We try again, only to fail again.

Eventually, it becomes easier just to skip the whole exercise – after all, if I don’t set a goal, then I don’t have to feel bad when I don’t hit it, right?

The problem here is not with the concept of goal setting. The problem is that most of us never get the chance to experience the power of GOAL HITTING. This happens because of a few Read More...
