Create Your Daily Personal Growth

Create Your Day....

There are seven disciplines you must develop if you want to achieve all that
is possible for you. You can learn these disciplines through practice and
repetition until they become automatic.

1) Goal Setting - Every morning, take three to five minutes to write out your
top goals in the present tense. Get a spiral notebook for this purpose. By
writing out your ten goals at the beginning of each day, you will program them
deep into your subconscious mind. This daily goal writing will activate your
mental powers. It will stimulate your mind and make you more alert. Throughout
the day, you will see opportunities and possibilities to move more rapidly
toward your goals.

2) Planning and Organizing - Take a few minutes, preferably the night before,
to plan out every activity of the coming day. Always work from a list. Always
think on paper. This is one of the most powerful and important disciplines of
all for high performance.

3) Concentration on your Highest-Value Activities - Your ability to work
single-mindedly on your most important task will contribute as much to your
success as any other discipline you can develop.

4) "Accomplish More in a Month Than Most People Accomplish in a Year" - Your
ability to discipline yourself "to do what you should, when you should do it,
whether you feel like it or not," is the key to becoming a great person and
living a great life. When you develop the habits of self-discipline, you will
accomplish more in a month than most people accomplish in a year.

5) Exercise and Proper Nutrition - Your health is more important than anything
else. By disciplining yourself to exercise regularly and to eat carefully, you
will promote the highest possible levels of health and fitness throughout your
life.

6) Learning and Growth - Your mind is like a muscle. If you don't use it, you
lose it. Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any
field.

7) Time for Important People in Your Life - Relationships are everything. Be
sure that in climbing the ladder of success, you do not find it leaning
against the wrong building. Build time for your relationships into every day,
no matter how busy you get.

Action Exercise - These seven disciplines will ensure that you perform at the
highest level and get the greatest satisfaction and results from everything
you do. Study these seven disciplines and then make a plan for how you can
incorporate each of them into your daily life.
