These 3 Things Will Change Your Life Forever
Almost two years ago, I took the first independent step in my life and started my?first ever business.
I had decided to steer away from the herd and?build a business?of my own, a business that I can one day look back at and be proud of.
Until that point, I just strolled through life, aimlessly following the status quo - going to school every day to?find a job?and waiting for a?lucky break.
Once the pandemic hit, I saw multiple doors closing in front of my eyes, forcing me to think outside the box and do something no one else I knew dared to do.
I?put everything on the line?by leaving my formal education behind me and taking the driver seat in my own life.
It was scary, it still is scary - the feeling of being left behind while others seem like they're progressing in their own lives is daunting.
Over the past two years, although it's been hard, I feel that I've learned more than I ever could have through school alone.
I feel that I've managed to?become 10X who I could have been?had I gone to university.
I've?learned skills?that, no matter where my life goes, will ensure that I have a job wherever I look.
I've learned about hard work, I've learned about?gratitude, I've learned how nothing will ever come to you easily and that the only way to get to where you want to be is to put in the work and work on yourself simultaneously.
All these things, all the lessons, and experiences have come from these 3 habits that I will discuss with you today.
Over the past two years, I have been working on building and refining these 3 habits that have shaped the direction of my life forever.
These 3 habits are the foundations of any successful person in the making.
Every billionaire, millionaire, and high-figure earner alike share these 3 habits in some way, shape, or form.
These 3 things will change your life forever.
Reading
I despised reading a few years ago.
The books we were being forced to read were only useful from a literary sense. They had no real wisdom, no real lessons ingrained within them that had the impact of changing my way of thinking.
That's the reason I read, it's the reason I spend the first segment of my days buried in the endless pages of my books.
Reading my first entrepreneurial and business book, I went in skeptical, however, every?wealthy person spoke highly of reading.
I went into it with the idea of being quickly disappointed, if reading was the answer to success, how come there aren't more successful people?
However, the first time I picked up a book and started to read it, I felt something inside me wake up, something that hasn't seen the light of day for a while.
I felt my creativity coming back to me, I felt my neurons bouncing around endlessly, exploring new ideas, new thoughts.?
I was interested in something for the first time in a long time.
I was intrigued by something that wasn't the dopamine from gaming all day.
Ever since I picked up my first book, 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' I made it a habit to read daily, at least one book a month.
This habit?was very easy to build because I was interested in learning.
When you pick up a book to read, you're accepting the fact that you need to learn something new every day.
You're accepting that your education did not end when you finished your formal education, but it actually began from that point onwards.
There is a whole realm of knowledge that billions of people don't get to explore because of one reason or another - mainly being that their minds are too closed to see what's right in front of them.
When you read a book, you're reading someone's life story,?their mistakes, their learnings, their successes. You're getting years of knowledge, failure, and wisdom condensed into a few hundred pages.
I've written a couple articles about the best books you could start with.
This article speaks about the?one book I believe every entrepreneur should read?at some point.
This article talks about?the 5 books entrepreneurs must read to be successful.
Throughout my blog, I talk about books that I'm currently reading, books that have taught me important lessons worth sharing.
I wouldn't know much about anything if it wasn't for the pursuit of knowledge through books.
You don't necessarily need to invest thousands in courses or seminars, you don't even need to reach a point where you're $50,000+ in debt before you can start becoming successful.
Success can start today and it can last a lifetime.
Choose a book from the articles?I shared above and start reading today.
Reading will change your life forever.
Exercise?
There lived a man who had all the wealth in the world.
He had the cars, the houses, the clothing, the planes, the yachts, and anything you could think about.
Whilst traveling one day, he saw a young man, with a strong, healthy body who seemed like he had nothing other than being blessed with good health.
The wealthy man stood and stared in awe, for he was crippled and unable to move around without the support of others.
He realised that with all the money in the world, he was still unable to experience the pleasure of having a strong and able body.
