Expert Talk: How You Can Use Habits to Transform Your Life

It is fairly easy to predict the future. How? Just look at your habits. If you’re a hard worker and have a hunger for learning and growth, you’ll become the top earner in your field.

If you don’t like what you do, don’t work hard, avoid risks, you’ll end up as average – never realizing your full potential.

Your habits are good indicators of your future, your character, and your legacy, or the lack of it, that you will leave when your time comes.

Here is how you can use habits to transform your life:

Tony Robbins

Tony Robbins talks about how success is often painted as this elusive ideal, a pinnacle that exists far in time. But the truth is that success is a process, a habit. You can use habits to transform your life.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. It’s a process

You want to know the biggest illusion about success? That it’s like a pinnacle to be climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static result to be achieved. If you want to succeed, if you want to achieve all of your outcomes, you have to think of success as a process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life.

Taking action, even though you’re afraid, is how you become courageous—because courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it, the more you do it, and this habit—of stepping up, of taking action—more than anything else, will move you in a different direction.

I can look at your body and I can guess your rituals. Some of you, your ritual is to work out five times a week I can see it clearly..it’s obvious. Your life comes from your rituals. If you don’t develop the rituals, you’re kidding yourself.

Brian Tracy

Brian Tracy shows how important it is to take responsibility for your own actions. Whatever you are experiencing in your life is created by you. If you change your habits, you can attract the things you desire. 

Successful people are simply those with successful habits.

Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event. Form good habits and make them your masters rather than allowing bad habits to form. Good habits are hard to form and easy to live with. Bad habits are easy to form and hard to live with. 

You can develop any habit or thought or behavior that you consider desirable or necessary.

You are where you are and what you are because of yourself. Everything you are today, or ever will be in the future, is up to you. Your life today is the sum total result of your choices, decisions, and actions up to this point. You can create your own future by changing your behaviors. You can make new choices and decisions that are more consistent with the person you want to be and the things you want to accomplish with your life.

Zig Ziglar

Ziglar talks about how your character is built from your habits. It’s not what you say, but what you do that really defines who you are. You can use habits to transform your life. 

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there. Make motivation a habit and you will get there more quickly and have more fun on the trip.

You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you have, be, and do in the tomorrow of your life.

We build our character from the bricks of habit we pile up day by day.

Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn makes a good remark that you must deal with pain – either with the pain of regret or with the pain of discipline. As human beings, we want to run away from pain. Choose to face a little pain now so that your whole life doesn’t become a tragedy filled with pain.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Eric Thomas

Eric Thomas has eaten from trash cans and risen to the top with sheer grind. He talks how consistency – working on your goals every single day, continuously over the years – is necessary to realize your dreams.

Some days are harder than others to get up early and grind. But I’d much rather suffer a little today than struggle the rest of my life.

I’m talking about being consistent! I’m talking about regularity! Listen to me! I’m talking about consistency. I’m talking about rituals, habits!

Bob Proctor

Bob Proctor has examined the nuances of life for more than 50 years. There’s a lot you will learn from this man.

Have you ever wondered why you get the same results over and over again? I have spent the 55 years doing nothing but ask these questions.

Today, just do a little more. Turn going the extra mile into a habit. It is what lifts the most successful people above the crowd.

Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi was a football player and coach and knew what separates greatness from mediocrity.

Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while… you don’t do things right once in a while… you do them right all the time. Winning is habit.

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covery, the author of 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, talks about cause and effect. What you sow today, you will reap tomorrow.

There’s no better way to inform and expand your mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature.

But until a person can say deeply and honestly, “I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday,” that person cannot say, “I choose otherwise”.

Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.

Eckhart Tolle

If you are trapped in fear, Eckhart Tolle has got some advice for you. It is your ego, your habitual thinking processes and behaviors that are limiting you from becoming who you are.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too.

The ego is habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through your mind continuously. It’s about being trapped in thought and in mental noise.

Oprah

Oprah became a billionaire in a time when she had to prove herself on two huge paradigms. One, that a woman can rise higher than a man and is worth much more than her timid, domesticized identity. Two, that having an oppressed past, with millions of people hating you because of your skin color, cannot dictate your future.

Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

With every experience you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.

Wayne Dyer

Wayne Dyer, author of twenty-one New York Times bestselling books, shows how you must align your habits with your desires and dreams.

You release old habits behind by starting out with the thought, “I release the need for this in my life”.

One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.

The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you’ll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.

Now that you know how to use habits to transform your life, go write a new life story.
