The rich and successful didn't get to where they are by sheer luck or accident.  No.  It's by building on habits that reap significant gains. While creating wealth is easier said than done, anyone can develop millionaire habits. I'm talking about simple things that you can add or improve on to accomplish something that you can only imagine.  Listen: I've been poor all my life, and while I was told that a good education is the stepping stone to a wealthy lifestyle, I know better now.  I've scoured the internet and read a couple of books about the habits of the wealthiest CEOs. So, here I am sharing my findings with you.  Here are 15 daily habits of the rich and successful. I've also covered 12 habits you should give up if you want to be successful.  1.

 "You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself!" -Jim Whittaker I've been blank for a few days now. You know, that feeling that you can't put a finger on what's going on in your life. I've been making mental to-do lists, but still, some things are left undone at the end of the day.  But this morning, I realized that it takes more than creating to-do lists to get things done.  Self-discipline. It's you I'm talking about. The ability to control your emotions, actions, and feelings. The ability to push yourself, to follow through despite the discomfort. Self-discipline is the inherent ability for self-control.  If you want to achieve anything, Big or Small. It starts with self-discipline. From waking up five minutes earlier to financial success. It all starts with discipline. Without it, we are no better than the average Joe mark-timing in life wishing for some sort of miracle to start living big.  Discipline separates s...

And if you're struggling with self-discipline, here's how to start.  But First,  What is Stress? Stress is a natural reaction to a situation.

  Trust. The building block and cement of any relationship. This elemental force takes the longest to build, seconds to break, and forever to restore.  The dictionary meaning of trust is a belief in the character, strength, or truth of something or someone. When we don't trust another person, we can't attach ourselves to them, and we can't allow them to connect to us.  To trust someone is to lay yourself bare.  Trust is the foundation of love,  honesty, open communication, respect, vulnerability, passion, and every element that builds a strong relationship. While infidelity is often the leading cause of betrayal, other things can cause distrust in a relationship.  These include.  A pattern of breaking promises or going back on your word Withholding or concealing information  Being self-centered/ pursuing self-interest  Not being there in times of need  Being unable to deal with stress in a relat...

I'm not the easiest person to live with. Those who know me know that I'm kind of a perfectionist. I demand the best of myself and of those around me. That's why I find it hard to let go. I usually hold on to something until it no longer makes sense.  This brings us to today's topic.  If you are anything like me, you may not recognize that you are living in the past until someone points it out. You mostly use I could have, should have, and might have constantly in your life. You may have done something that you deeply regret, but you've never moved on because you wish you could go back and change what happened. It's like when trust is lost. Sorry means nothing. Today, I want to tell you that regrets are completely normal. In fact, regret is the second, mostly-felt emotion after love. Anyone who does not have regrets is not living.  Every experience that you've had in life shaped the person you are today.  If you are finding it hard to move on, to heal, and t...

Why We Don't Find Time for What We Want to Do! And How to Start. My uncle called me today. He asked about my plans for Id-Ul-Fitr and I told him I didn't have any. Well, because, it's not a holiday I've ever celebrated.  Just like life, we only make time for the things that are important to us. Anything that you've had results with, is because of the time you've invested in it.  Like me, self-development is important. I want to be fit physically and mentally. But I don't pursue self-development consciously. At the back of my mind, I want it to happen. As if out of magic, I want to one day look in the mirror and like what I see.  But it's not going to happen while I sit on my hands.  Today, I realized that happiness is not automatic and so is success. If you don't make conscious decisions about doing the things that make you happy it will never happen.  So, how do you go about finding time for what you want to do? Start With 15 Minutes a Day  If what ...
