 7 Habits of Highly Effective People     Many people have read, or at least heard of, the book called, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," by Steven R. Covey. This book as been highly acclaimed and millions of copies have been sold all around the world. It has brought many people to change and led them to become successful. It's a book that often needs to be re-read and have notes taken while reading it. Have you ever thought about why?     I believe that principles of success are inherit, natural laws that God has set and that this world abides by. For example, people will naturally gravitate towards people who are good leaders, have caring personalities, show that they have their priorities straight, and people who are good at managing time, not wasting it. These are some of the things that are discussed in the book, but they are things that most people can get and know already a little bit. Why, then are some books more effective and famous that others? I ...

Can you imagine if you became more than you thought you could become? Some people don't know how much they can become or change, until someone shows them their potential. I think that becoming an entrepreneur can push you to become different, and not just do something different. When you set your mind to do something different that you've never done before, you're going to become something different as well. When you want to do something that will set you apart from others, that expresses and idea that hasn't been tried yet, you will change. When you step apart from the status quo, you will become something different and change your thinking and perspective.  How do you accomplish this? You need to have a plan, find a mentor, become more positive about your future and hope for your dreams. If you don't believe you can be different and don't believe your dreams are achievable, then you don't know how to be an entrepreneur. A mentor can help guide your life in...

 How do you know if you have what it takes to be successful?      Think about successful people that you have heard of in your life. What is it about that person that you like so much? What draws you to people that you admire? Is it their personality, their character, what they have been through, their talent, or hard work? To me, I think that it's people's hard work that I'm drawn to. When I hear stories of people that worked very hard to reach a goal or dream, or to become something, I am always in awe of them. I admire that so much, because it purely is their own work and effort that got them to where they are. I love that because it shows that even I, or anyone else, could do what they do if I had the same desire. It means to me, that people can do anything that they put their mind to, if they want it enough. If you have the guts and focus to get it, if you have the passion and belief that what you want is important, then you will succeed. It means that people ca...

 How do you know you’ve lived a successful life? How you live your life, is really up to you. Many people don’t truly understand that or believe it, because they live in a very passive lifestyle. Most people 'let life happen' to them and go with the flow. However, if you live in a proactive way, where you decide you will do what you want no matter what, you can live a meaningful life.  To live a meaningful life, you need to live in your true identity and give time to think about your dreams. If you don’t give yourself time to think about your dreams, and plan to develop them, you won’t feel fulfilled and truly happy with yourself.  In order to live your full potential, then you need to make the most of your daily habits, and write them down, and think about your goals. It’s important to keep track of these goals and habits each day in order to eventually, over time, change to be the person you want to be. If you never start to make daily habits different, you will always ...
