Habits Can Build You, or Kill You. by Jorge Fernandez de Cordova

Habits are the most overlooked thing about life. One of my mentors taught me that "People Form Habits, and Habits Form Futures." MAN!!! What a POWERFUL statement.

We go through our life creating sets of habits that in the end will create the life we want to live. We create this habits unconsciously. You might don't know but these habits are the things that are holding you back in life, so STOP blaming others for your failures.

I wll give you few bad habits that you are probably conscious of right away.

-Not returning phone calls on time.
-Being late for meetings and appointments.
-Having your cellphone ON all the time.
-Answering the telephone during family mealtimes.
-Handling the mail more than once, etc, etc.

These are just few of many others.

Check yourself out by making a list of all the habits that keep you unproductive and not moving towards your goals. Take an hour or more so you can really think through this process, and plan it so you won't be interrupted.

You can also ask for feedback. Talk to people you respect and admire, who knows you well. Ask them what they observe about your bad habits. What you are looking for here, is consistency. What do I mean by that, if you talk to 10 people and 8 of them tell you that you are always late to meetings, pay attention.

THE OUTWARD BEHAVIOR IS THE TRUTH, WHEREAS YOUR INNER PERCEPTION OF YOUR BEHAVIOR IS OFTEN AN ILLUSION.
