Blog

Whew!

February 1, 2011

Well, I successfully (mostly) made it through January making a blog post every day. I missed one day due to some poor planning but I’m happy to say that it wasn’t any more than that! I have to say that I really like setting a goal that I commit to for one month. It’s long enough of a stretch to create a new habit and short enough that I can see the end in sight if the chosen behavior doesn’t work for me.

My goal for February is to complete the book: The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. Not just to complete the book but to also do all the exercises he suggests. I don’t know about you but I have gotten half way through a ton of books and I often skip over the exercises because I don’t have time or because they seem difficult. So this is no small commitment.

I’ll also be sharing my favorite line or two from that day’s reading. There’s a lot of great quotes and concepts in the book. It is set up like a step by step process and he says that if I follow the steps in the book, I can’t help but be successful. Sounds good to me!

Some of my favorite lines so far are: (All quotes are by Jack Canfield unless otherwise stated)


“You deserve to have everything in your life exactly the way you want it.” -Cherie Carter-Scott

“Believing in yourself is an attitude”

“Your brain is designed to solve any problem and reach any goal that you give it.”

“Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity.”


I hope you met your January goal. What are you planning to tackle for February?
