Habits Can Be Formed By Deciding What Qualities You Want - Lehi Alcantara Motivational Quotes To Inspire

So I have one little suggestion for you. Pick out the person in the class that you admire the most. And then write down why you admire them. Put down a list of qualities. You are not to name yourself in this. And then put down the one that frankly, you can stand the least in the whole group. And then put down the qualities that turn you off in that person, and look at that list. And you won't find that it is a bunch of things like throwing a football 70 yards or anything of the sort. The qualities in the first one that you admire are qualities that you with a little practice can make your own and which if practiced will become habit forming. The chains of habit are too light to be felt, until they are too heavy to be broken. At my age I can't change any of my habits, I am stuck. But, at your age you will have the habits 20 years from now that you decide to put into practice today.

So I just suggest that you look at the habits you admire in others or the behaviours you admire in others and make those your own habits. And you look at what you really find somewhat reprehensible in others and just decide those are things you are not going to do.

Ben Franklin did that a few hundred years ago and it still works today.

Each of us possesses unique talents, experiences, and perspectives that shape who we are. So, instead of seeking validation and approval from external comparisons, Gates encourages us to embrace our uniqueness and focus on personal growth and improvement. Anything less is an insult to our intelligence and dignity. "It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." - Success is not a black-and-white concept or an all-or-nothing achievement, leading us to perceive anything short of success as failure. Regrettably, this belief fosters fear of failure and discourages attempts. Embracing a more nuanced vi...
