Breaking Bad Habits To Live Into Your Greatness

Do you have habits that hold you back from
living into your greatness?

It may be as simple as biting your nails,
buying expensive lattes every day or as
significant as procrastinating, overeating
or smoking.

No matter what habits you have, Here's one
thing that can help eliminate bad habits
for good.

Think about WHY you should stop.

You've probably heard time and time again
that when your "why " is big enough,
you'll find the "hows".

A few years ago I was fighting with some
health challenges that forced me to change
my diet.

Although I knew some of the foods I was eating
weren't good for me, they were never 'life-
threatening'...or so I thought.

I had to face a stark reality that if I
kept doing what I was doing...I wouldn't
be doing it much longer.

That was a huge 'why' if I ever needed one.

And my "hows" became very apparent.

And here I am, at a youthful 66 years
young still spreading my message across
the world.

Maybe the habits you're trying to overcome
aren't life threatening...maybe they are,
but I want to ask you to dig deep inside
yourself and find the bigger 'why' to
change that habit.

What is your "why"?

Is it your children?
Your Spouse?
Your health?
Your life?

Find that "why" and the "hows" will take
care of themselves.

Self Confidence = Wealth?

Have you ever met a wealthy person with low self-
confidence?

Probably not, but have you ever thought about why?

Most people make the mistake of thinking wealthy
people are confident because they have money, but
I'm here to tell you that couldn't be further from
the truth.

Though it may seem counter-intuitive, the fact is:

Wealthy people have money BECAUSE they're
self-confident... not the other way around.

You know, when I think back to the times in my
life where money was scarce and I didn't know
where it was going to come from, I never
wavered in my faith or in my belief that I would,
in fact, be a world renown speaker.

The confidence came BEFORE the wealth!

And that's what I want to encourage you to
embrace today.

Despite what's going on around you, know that
you have greatness inside you. And that your
self-confidence will propel you to heights you
can't begin to imagine.

I'll share an exercise with you that many successful
people use to boost and maintain a high level of self-
confidence:

Every morning, when you wake up...tell yourself
that you are great. Say to yourself, "I am great...I
have greatness inside of me."

Even if you don't believe it at first, over time, you'll
begin to embrace this idea in all areas of your life. And
the more you begin to believe in the idea of your
greatness, the more success you'll start seeing in your
life.

In Pursuit Of Your Greatness,
