What's your HABIT FORMING ALTITUDE?
The sky used to be the limit that we would shoot for but this past week has made it clearly evident to me that there is so much more possible. The only limit that exist is the self imposed ones we place upon ourselves.
I was able to debunk this myth by traveling on a week long road trip that took me and my family to many places of historical relevance. Seeing these places heightened my sense of responsibility to serve and lead others to the place of no limits. In education I often refer to my practice as NO BOX THINKING and I used this same premise for personal growth and life optimization! If you would like to maximize your life and potential. All you have to do is have a vision and then make a plan to reach it!
My mentor, Eric Thomas, so fittingly placed a challenge on the table this week of a 21 day challenge and it's all about making a decision to change something in your life! You see the cleverness of this challenge is that it places the limit at a point to where if you adhere to the challenge you have now formed a HABIT!
In order to form a HABIT one must perform a certain task at least 7 times before the body becomes programmed and performs on auto pilot! Therefore, the EPIC 7 day spring break trip was intentionally planned so that it would expose my son to Magical Kingdoms, Universities and Historical sites! Immersing him in the rich historical significance of these sites intentionally placed him around greatness and leadership figures to stress the point of NO BOX THINKING in life! He was exposed to black history of a lifetime that will ultimately leave a lasting impression on his outlook on life and his responsibility to LEAD others! He will now be on the path towards leadership auto pilot!
A 7 year old has now formed a healthy HABIT of leadership and is on the path to realizing GREATNESS IS UPON HIM! What will you do within the next 24 hours to begin your next HABIT? You see I will reference the WIN THE DAY theme to tell you before you can take on Eric Thomas and his 21 day challenge, you must first begin with DAY 1!
So at this time close your eyes and vision your future...... What did you see? Grab a pen/pad and write it down, in an effort to make it plain! Once you have written it down you are now ready to set your goals and begin your path towards your GREATNESS!
Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon!
