Ways to Improve Yourself by 1% Each Day
Many people treat "life" as something that happens to them. They are the victim. And then there are those who are clear on their goals. When something goes wrong, they are the first to admit where they went wrong. How can you live a life by design instead of by default?
Set goals and actually achieve them
"New Year's Resolutions" are the worst (or best) example of this. It's easy to set goals, but very few people follow through with them to the end. People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them. This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.
Surround yourself with people you want to be like
Choose your friends carefully. As they say, "" Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values. Ideally, these people should even be a little bit ahead of you, forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you'd like to go.
Don't be afraid to go your own way
When you go your own way, everyone will tell you that you're wrong at first. Everyone will point and share their opinion and then somewhere down the line, they will all come back around. And they will ask you how you did it.
Practice discipline
In order for you to get to where you know you can go, you have to say "no" a hundred times more than you say the word "yes". And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline.
A. Everybody sets goals.
B. They create the life they want to live.
C. Some people just don't know when to quit.
