Do you know what is your top bad habit or worst habit which
is preventing you from achieving what you want in life?
At the first glance, this looks like a very easy question which
does not require much thinking at all and can be answered at
once or very quickly, isn’t it?
And some people may just jump to the conclusion that this is
a very silly and unimportant question and they will just brush
this aside and not bother to think more about it, because they
think they will be wasting a lot of their very precious time by
pondering over this.
Some other people may feel this is a very personal question
and will not be interested in answering it because they feel
it intrudes into their privacy.
There may also be other people who will be very suspicious
why this question is asked because they will assume that the
person who is asking this question is targeting them with the
aim of cheating or hurting them.
Or there may even be some people who think like they are a
combination of all the above!
It should be made very clear here that there are no attempts
to waste the valuable time of people or to violate anyone’s
privacy or to cheat or harm anyone.
Nobody is being asked to declare to the whole world what is
their top weaknesses and there is certainly no way that it can
be forced out of anyone.
Your secrets are very safe unless you really want to reveal
them to everyone!
It is completely up to you to use your free will to make your
decision whether you want to think more about the question.
If you have not left and are still reading this, congratulations!
This shows that you have an open mind and are not quick to
make gross irrational assumptions and quickly leap and form
very wrong conclusions.
If you have thought a bit more deeply into the question, did
you find that the question is not so easy to answer after all?
It is a well known fact that because we are not perfect, we
all have many bad habits, right?
This is not a competttion to find out who can produce the
longest list of bad habits or to discover who has the worst
habit!
There is no need to tell everyone about your bad habits.
If we are asked to list down all our bad habits and if we are
honest, we will easily come out with five or ten or even a
lot more, don’t you agree?
But do we really know what is the worst or number one bad
habit that is giving us the most problems to obtain what we
want in life and achieve our goals?
If they look at their list of bad habits, many people will find
that there are many bad habits all competing to be number
one or top of the list!
It is not easy to decide which is the top worst habit, is it?
If you are not able to identify the culprit or “winner” in this
case, there is no need to lose any sleep over this.
The main objective of this exercise is to test if you have an
open and positive mind or “one track” mind which is very
negative and pessimistic.
If you are still here, you may want to continue reading to
gain some insight into the steps you can take if you want
to get rid of some your bad habits.
Are you wondering what has the image or photo got to do
with the topic of bad habits?
How many bad habits can you think of?
Do you know how many classes or groups that all of them
can be divided into?
Do you agree that all the bad habits in our lists are related
to three major things which are time, money and health?
And all the bad habits can be grouped into the three main
categories?
Can you think of any bad habit which cannot fit into the
three groups?
Do you know that these three groups can be consolidated
into two major groupings which are time and money?
Do you agree that health issues do really boil down to time
and money issues because bad health will cause lossses in
time or money?
Also do you agree that it is a commonly accepted fact that
time is money?
Now that it has been established that all our bad habits are
actually causing us to suffer big losses of two of our most
valued and precious commodities, time and money, which
are always in great demand but short supply, will this get
us to awaken ourselves and realise that we really must do
something about our bad habits?
A lot of people find it very difficult to improve their lives
because their bad habits are holding them back from their
attempts to achieve their goals.
Some people are still in denial and they do not admit that
they have bad habits which are seriously impeding them
in their journeys to reach their objectives in life. But that
is another story! They will have to work harder to get out
of their denial syndromes first!
For those people who can recognise their weaknesses and
want to rid themselves of some their bad habits, here are
some very simple tips which can help.
Many people have failed in eliminating many of their bad
habits because they were concentrating on only one habit
at a time and were discouraged by all the things they have
to do and also the many likely obstacles which they need
to face and overcome, that they do not even want to start
or they will give up very quicky.
They are so discouraged by all the potential problems that
they cannot see the benefits which they can get if they are
able to stop their bad habits which are preventing them to
enjoy a better quality of life.
They are so obssesed with their problems that they cannot
see the light at the end of the tunnel.
They do not have the presence of mind to be calm and to
think clearly about their problems.
Their minds very often seem to be awol or absent without
leave!
And they must do something fast before the situation gets
much worse.
What if there is a way to wake these people up and make
them feel the pain where it hurts most… which is in their
pockets?
The way is just to let these people understand that all their
bad habits are really causing them to lose a lot of their time
and money… and since time is money, they are being hit in
their pockets all the time.
Do you think this will motivate people to take action to stop
some of their bad habits?
It is certain that it will not help all the people because there
are many stubborn, complacent and negative folks who are
very difficult to help because they refuse to help themselves.
Do you know there are many human lobsters in the world?
Many human lobsters will end up as food for those who are
always looking to take full advantage of them!
However, it is hoped that this simple approach can help other
people to get rid of some of the habits which are not good in
their lives and which are causing a lot of damage.
And that it may even encourage some people to work on more
than one bad habit at one time to stop them because they want
to stop the pain in their pockets.
If you are determined to do something about your bad habits to
make them stop hindering you in your attempts to improve your
life, why not use this simple method?
Just focus on the fact that your bad habits are really causing you
to lose a lot of time and money which you always want more of
and motivate yourself to take the required action to stop all the
undesirable wastage.
If you do not start, you will never know what you can do.
Have you heard that a journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step?
“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”
If you are able to remove some of the bad habits, you can then
cultivate some good habits to help you to achieve success that
has been out of reach.
One very good habit is to constantly search for new knowledge
and learn new useful things everyday.
Knowledge is known as the new money now.
We should also not be scared to take some risks that have been
well calculated so that we do not miss good opportunities when
they knock on our doors.
If we want to achieve success, we must also be willing to make
some sacrifices.
We should remember these sacrifice for success quotes.
Make each day a very productive and good one.
Have a good day, every day!
