The power of habits shines brighter & successful men use the habits to transform their lives. Habit quotes will reveal the greatness of developing good habits by working on them every day.
Replacing bad habits with good habits is the key to success. As no one is born with only good habits, one has to take control & shape the habits with his own efforts.
Champions are not born with good habits, they create good habits that make them succeed.
Quote 1
“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then is not an act but a habit.”
Our life is nothing but a repetition of the same things again & again.
Some activities everyone does & they are general habits of people like brushing, bathing, wearing clothes, eating lunch, sleeping & so on. We repeat these things on a daily basis & they have become a routine.
The habits are not just limited to physical activities, they are also spread across the mind. Mind also has habitual patterns that are repeated every day as a routine but we are not aware of these habits because they are invisible & function within the mind.
Successful people are the ones who have used the habits to build mental patterns that assure success with excellence. For these people, this has become a habit for them.
When they take up any new project the habit is already available for them in-built & ready to repeat itself. They complete the new project with excellence then another new project begins & habit repeats itself.
“Habits can either make you succeed or they can make you fail.”
The pattern of habits that you have developed for yourself determines your success or failure.
When a person creates a habit of procrastination, laziness, an angry attitude, quitting early, more talking & not doing then these habits will make him fail.
Another person makes the effort & creates a habit of being on time, disciplined, smart towards work, planning, not giving up, trying different things, remaining calm & being active then these habits will make this person succeed in his goals.
Quote 2
“Successful people are simply those with successful habits.”
There is a process of building up a habit. It can be any habit, it undergoes this simple process. Habits are not developed in a single night, they take their time to grow like the trees.
Watering the tree won’t make the tree taller & give fruits overnight. There is a process that follows as per the law of nature.
The first step is to have an understanding of the nature of habit.
Successful people understand this process of designing a habit in their lifestyle. They persist & work every day on small steps towards the habit & one day the fruits can be seen on trees.
Successful people develop successful habits. Habits cannot be purchased in a store. If it was so then everyone might have become successful by paying the money.
The effort has to be done persistently every day with strong determination. Successful people make the effort & invest the time in the proper direction to design good habits that bring success.
When a successful person makes an effort for a long time then the skill he develops remains with him in the long run. It isn’t temporary.
The results are everlasting & satisfying. For the people who choose the shortcuts, for them, the results are always temporary & there is no satisfaction.
Quote 3
“Your habits will determine your future.”
As the astrologer sees your stars & predicts your future similarly one can see your habits & predict your future. The daily routine that we have developed & the habitual patterns that are silently being executed continuously hold within itself the results in the future.
Someone having a habit of smoking & repeated occurrences of it on a daily basis will result in a diseased future. The damage begins from day one, it is like a seed initially & it grows slowly day by day.
The habit becomes stronger as more days pass by, on the other hand, the damage within the lungs & other body parts also is expanding. And suddenly one day the person is diagnosed with a major disease. The habit of smoking has determined the future from day one.
Habits are in our hands, we have complete control to choose the habits. We have the control to erase the bad habits & this can happen instantly.
“The chain of the bad habits can be replaced instantly with new good habits.”
The challenge is to stay consistent for a prolonged period. Doing something for 1 to 2 days will have no benefit. The work has to be done to form a new habit for months & sometimes for years.
When we plant good habits now then it is obvious that in the future we will be enjoying the fruits.
Developing good habits in the initial stage might be tough in the beginning because of the old bad habit patterns but when we get used to it with determination & discipline then it becomes easier at a later stage.
Quote 4
“The change in bad habits leads to a change in life.”
Life changes when we learn to succeed at the things that we choose to achieve.
Our primary problem in life is that we are not able to achieve & succeed in life, resulting in a cloud of bad emotions. This dark cloud affects everything that surrounds us. People coming in contact are affected because of the irritated & frustrated mindset due to the failure.
Success depends on habits & failure also is a result of some bad habits that we are not able to change.
No one wants the bad habit but changing these bad habits looks difficult & impossible. If we don’t change these habits everything stays the same, the failure will remain the same as if stubbornly standing firmly not ready to move.
The thing about habits is that after some time they start functioning naturally without giving our conscious attention to them. They keep repeating & we are not aware of them. And every time the habit repeats, it strengthens itself more.
Being conscious of the existing bad habits is a first step towards changing them. Watching the existing habits & how they are executed on a daily basis will throw some light on the bad habits.
Then we can plan a new habit & start with small baby steps keeping in mind that we have to walk very long. And one day sooner or later baby steps will transform into quantum jumps that will change your life & make you succeed in your goals with ease.
Quote 5
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.”
We live moment to moment, we cannot live in the future or past.
The thing that we are doing right now in some form of physical activity or mental activity is nothing but a habit. To change the habits we have to change the now & today. We have to change the things that we are doing on a daily basis.
If we do not change now then nothing can help. Doing the same things & expecting different results is also mathematically incorrect. Two plus two always remains four, expecting a different result we have to change the numbers, and we have to make some changes that will further change the results.
“Daily habits can be consciously changed by putting in a conscious effort & when the daily habits are changed the results do change.”
Habit is a key that can open the doors of success. This key is available to all of us & has to be properly used to unlock the door.
Life does change by changing habits. If we look at the lives of successful people, they have developed some unique & good habits. Mastering these habits they have become successful.
They have followed these habits for a very long period of time so it is deeply rooted in their mind & so the success for them becomes almost guaranteed.
Quote 6
“Watch your actions, they become your habits.”
Actions that we take starting from the time we wake up till the time we sleep are nothing but unconscious habits that are created & running on autopilot.
We have created many habits & we are not aware of them. Habits were created by us only someday, there was a beginning to the habit & till it is replaced with some other habit, it continues to repeat itself.
“Habits can be modified & replaced with new habits by conscious effort.”
The effort is needed at first, just like while learning to drive we have to be conscious at first & after some months it happens automatically without any conscious effort.
To plan new habits & inculcate them in our daily routine, we need to first find out the best habits that will transform our lifestyle. Like waking up early, going to the gym, reading books, eating veg food, and doing meditation.
It is good that we plan a particular time for a new habit to form. Doing the same thing at the same time repeatedly will create a new habit. Doing it at the same time acts as a trigger for the mind & every day once that time is hit the habit repeats itself.
Choosing random times to practice the habit can result in not doing the habit & postponing it to tomorrow. The mind can bring reasons like Let’s do it tomorrow, today I am tired, today there is no time, today I will skip & will definitely do it tomorrow.
We can also observe our actions in a day. What physical & mental actions are we performing repeatedly? And what are the actions that require a replacement because the existing actions are not helping to bring the results?
Some actions are the worst & we should take note of them & work to replace them as soon as possible. Not only physical actions but also mental patterns need to be updated. We need to install a new set of habits & upgrade our system to a new version.
Quote 7
“Change might not be fast and it isn’t always easy.
But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.”
Habit forming takes time & this is the reason people fail to develop good habits.
They want quick fixes & instant results but this is now how it works. Planting the seed yesterday will not grow the tree tomorrow, there is a process that follows & the process takes its own time.
“Habit-forming requires determination & patience to persist till the habits become a second nature.”
Planting new habits is always exciting in the beginning but isn’t easy. It’s difficult not because of complexities but because of the unstable mind. The mind wants to wander, it wants to jump from one thing to another, and it wants to remain in chaotic conditions.
Mind changes every moment, one thing decided in one moment changes in another moment. The firm decision taken at one moment starts shaking in another moment.
Every day time & effort are needed to grow the habit. The athletes & bodybuilders are a good example of how they discipline their time & routine. Every day they practice to make themselves stronger than others. They push themselves beyond the limits so that their performance can be uplifted to new heights. They practice for long hours with a stubborn nature & this is nothing but habit formation.
Habit changes the shape bit by bit. Like a bodybuilder works out in a gym & his body changes shape after months of practice.
Prior to gym life his body shape was different & after working out in the gym for months the body took a perfect shape. The habit reshaped the body & gave it a new design.
When one remains consistent in the actions then his life also changes & takes a brand new shape.
Quote 8
“Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last, compels.”
There is power in repetition. One act repeated thousands of times becomes unbreakable. Once a habit is formed then it reaches subconscious levels in the very roots.
So it is very much necessary that we choose habits that will benefit us rather than damage us. It may be a good habit or a bad habit, but both have the same process of repetition that results in a habit.
People ignore their actions, having no awareness of what they are doing.
They repeat the wrong actions with no knowledge that the actions are turning into habits. With every repetition, the habit is getting stronger & once it gets stronger then it becomes tough to break it.
One creates bad habits with his own actions & becomes a slave of habits because after the habit is imprinted on the subconscious mind then it is not easy to change it.
When someone starts changing the bad habit then he may succeed for a couple of days but the old bad habit returns back with a bang. Bad habit has entered into the very nerves & isn’t ready to vanish away easily.
To change the habits, a disciplined mind & consistent effort is needed and by doing so bad habits can be replaced with good habits. Once one knows how to change the habits & he succeeds in changing the habit then he will form a new habit of changing the habits.
The choice remains always with us because we are the masters of our lives. The remote control is always in our hands & we can change the channel at any time. It may have happened that some bad habits may have entered our lives & they may have brought troubles & worries but we can choose to develop good habits that will bring success & freedom in our lives.
A conscious & alert mind is needed to observe the existing habits that are being executed in a single day & to make changes in the actions so that new habits can be created.
And once the good habits are created it results in a good & successful life.
Quote 9
“Champions aren’t just born. Champions can be made when they embrace and commit to life-changing positive habits.”
Champion is not a coincidence but he has a blueprint for success.
A champion is just a normal person as anyone is, but he goes ahead & commits to the development of success habits and that is what makes him above the normal.
Prior to the success habits the champion was not known to anyone, he did something in between that made him the champion. The middle part is out of the picture to everyone & in this middle part, the champion has worked for himself every day with a routine of success habits.
The championship has been claimed & determined by the individuals. No one is born a champion, championship is like a skill that one learns. It is like a language that one learns, no child is born with a language and he learns the language after his birth.
As we are grownups now, it remains our choice to learn or let things work as they are working. Either one can design a life of success habits or one can just live as the life makes us live with no effort.
Life-changing positive habits require effort to be done followed by determination & patience. Only a few succeed in changing the habits not because everyone isn’t capable but because they really do not want to change. They do not have the fire burning within them so they just take it carelessly.
The champions take it on their mind & they accumulate the strength to go on doing it until it happens. Until the positive habits have become second nature they keep repeating the habits.
Every person has the same amount of time every day. At this time, the habits are being created either by conscious effort or by unawareness.
“Success people are those who use this same time to shift the ordinary habits to extraordinary success habits.”
Failure people use the same time in doing irrelevant things & nothing relevant happens in their life. Successful people use their habits as a golden key to unlock the door of success.
Quote 10
“Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”
As one develops & masters good habits becomes successful. In the similar way one develops & masters bad habits & becomes a failure. The same electricity flows in everyone but the use of the power differs from person to person. It can be used to glow or it can be used to destroy.
Everyone has the potential to master the habits, we all are unconsciously mastering some kind of habits. We are professionals in creating & developing habits.
Habit is by default to everyone & no one can escape the habits. The only difference between success & failure is the variety of habits.
Winners have a different set of habits & they have created these habits with their everyday conscious effort.
Losers have a different set of habits & they have ignored the consequences of their bad habits & are not willing to take any action to change the habits. They continue their old habits that are not helping in any way but on the contrary damaging something essential in their lives.
Bad habits flow naturally when there is no conscious effort to develop good habits. When one has to create a garden then he has to make a conscious effort to decorate the seeds of the garden.
He has to nurture & take care of the plants every day, he has to decide & plant the seeds that are wanted. But if no action is taken to create a garden then by default the weeds will grow. Similarly, bad habits will grow when the garden of mind is not decorated with good habits.
Changing the habit is challenging at first but the challenge has to be accepted so that life can be filled with flowers of success.
Everyday commitment & stubborn determination will bring alignment in life due to the focus on good habits. Bit by bit there will be growth & growth is always satisfying.
Every new day the strength will increase, the mind will become powerful & the results can be seen sooner and will motivate us to take more action. This is the way of the winners & anyone can join the way & succeed in their goals.
