Merry Riana's success habit

72 hrs since I conducted a Goal Setting session for my organization.

Everyone was very motivated and inspired.



I believe some time in your life you've experienced this kind of motivation also, being it through seminar, retreat, book, etc



But, my questions is how long does your motivation last? Are you excited for the moment but feel down or back to normal the next day? Can your motivation endure for a long time?



I actually ended my goal setting session by leaving them with one final message:


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

And today I want to elaborate more on that.



I believe that successful people are NOT necessarily a more talented group of people compared to the others who are less successful. I also believe that successful people are NOT necessarily a more hard-working group of people either. Successful people achieve success merely because they have better habits compared to others.



Here is a simple example. :)
Some of us have better dental health compared to others.


It means some of us succeed in having healthier teeth.
But, does it mean that those of us with healthier teeth are more talented or hard-working?
Have you ever felt that you're talented in brushing your teeth?
Does it feel like hard work to brush your teeth every day? :)
Of course, not.
It feels natural, right?

The reason why some of us 'succeed' in having healthier teeth is because we have better habits (i.e. brush our teeth twice a day, visit the dentist twice a year, etc).
When certain activities become a habit to us, we don't need any talent to do it again and again, and we also don't feel like its hard work.

CONCLUSION
When you want to model a particular successful people to also achieve what she has achieved previously, you can just simply get to know more of her Success Habits. Then, make it your own.

Love,
Merry Riana
