I came across this video by Robin Sharma (The author of great books like “The Monk who sold his Ferrari” and “The leader without title”)
It starts with the following quote :
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Robin goes on to suggest that you install 3 habits during the next 90 days, that set the tone for the next 12 months, so that 2016 can be your greatest year (Rather than a repeat of the last year)
- Protect your mindset
- Make sure you are surrounded by positive people
- Don't watch TV
- Prepare the night before
- Plan for the next day.
- Write top three lessons learned that day
- Write three positive things that happened today
- Focus on single biggest opportunity
A Person who chases two rabbits, catches neither
Confucius
Note: I have been writing the Five Minute Journal last 6 months. It covers the second point very well.
