** CREATE MOMENTUM TOWARDS SUCCESS by Graham White **
----------------------------------------------------
The thousands of
hours we are with our family before we are 18 years old are a time that we can
be molded, for better or for worse, in habits that will determine a great deal
of who we become. Children who grow up around parents who model habits
of success begin acquiring those habits early and carry that momentum into
their adult life.
We all have a certain
degree of momentum that we carry into our lives. Those who are
exceedingly successful carry a great deal of momentum from the work they do
and habits they implement early on. Shania Twain, for example, began
working towards the "overnight success" she had for almost 20
years. Many young protégées and stars began the thousands of hours of
rehearsal, practice and performing long before they were even teenagers.
What momentum was
developed in the family you grew up in? Was it healthy or
destructive? Are you filled with dreams and desire or bitterness and
regret? Is your momentum pushing you towards a life of lounging and
watching TV or of getting out and taking on the world? Is your momentum
pushing you to get by with what you have or to strive to be more than you
are? Is your momentum only enough to coast on or is it pushing you to
develop ever increasing abilities towards more happiness and freedom than you
had the year before?
If you weren't
fortunate enough to be born into a family that modeled all of the
characteristics you desire to have, you need to accept that you will have to
learn on your own what your mentors had the good fortune of being modeled for
them for 18 years.
Developing
Successful Momentum:
- Research topics
in areas you wish to improve on.
- Study and begin
to implement the principles of mentors and people you respect.
- Internalize their
wisdom by making those things part of your life, even when you're alone.
- Be willing to put
in the time, start slowly and develop your new abilities over time.
- Put yourself in
new situations, risk failure for the opportunity to learn something new.
- Surround yourself
with dynamic influences rather than people who only expect you to maintain
the status quo.
- Maintain a vision
of who you want to be.
