Inspiration is that fire in your belly, which drives you to begin taking the necessary action to realize your dreams. Sustaining that initial momentum and to keep effectively traveling on the path of achievement, requires you to develop a success habit set, to help you sustain your daily efforts. That initial feeling of inspiration will be tested many times, as you travel on your success journey. You will encounter numerous challenges, setbacks and even temporary failures, along the way. The one thing, which will keep you going despite any obstacles, which may cross your path, even when that initial fire begins to burn out, is a well-designed and focused success habit set.
Have the courage to examine your habits today, are the things you habitually do, leading you closer to, or holding you away from the business or personal success you desire? Reinforce and develop, all your current success habits, which are delivering the results you want, but have the conviction and the courage to begin developing new success habits, which will support and promote your on-going and sustainable success. Aristotle said this so well when he said “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not and act, but a habit.
How do you Recognise your Current Habits?

Accept that the environment you live in and your current circumstances are the result of your habits and beliefs and not vice versa. Your current habit set is dictating how your world unfolds. When you make this realization and appreciate that the habitual actions you take or fail to take every day are moulding your future, you empower yourself to begin the journey from average to exceptional. You immediately change from being a mere CREATURE of your circumstances to a direct CREATOR of your circumstances.
