Keep your date with destiny

Yesterday we talked about the importance of self-discipline.
Today we’ll talk more about developing good habits.
Good habits require self-discipline. They don’t come easily.
This morning I rose early. It was still dark, my family asleep.
But I had a date with you to continue our conversation.
What dates do you have on today’s calendar?
Are they dates with destiny that will make a difference?
Rising early may not be your thing but it pumps me up.
It revs my motor. Find the habits that rev your motor.
What taps your passion? What makes you feel purposeful?
Yesterday, David Stanton talked with me on TV about purpose.
About the eight areas of life where you can make a difference.

We talked about mistakes and learning from them.
We talked about learning from the mistakes of others.
You don’t have to make all the mistakes to learn from them.
David is a fine interviewer. We covered a lot of ground in minutes.
Think about how you can make the minutes count in your life.
Being busy helps. Being purposeful helps even more.
Plan your day. Stick to your plan. Do you have tasks left over?
Start tomorrow’s list with what you did not finish today.
Tomorrow I’ll share an idea to help you succeed in business.

What good — and bad — habits bring

Yesterday we talked about the vital role that planning plays in life.
Today we’ll talk about the importance of self-discipline.
Who is the hardest person to discipline? You’re right.
It’s yourself. That seems more difficult for some of us.
It’s easy to develop bad habits. But they’re hard to live with.
It’s harder to develop good habits. But they’re easier to live with.
When I was young, I developed many bad habits.
That got me into a lot of trouble. I paid for those mistakes.
I started writing "Your Life’s Great Purpose" with one single purpose.
To help young people avoid many of the mistakes I had made.
I wanted them to find their direction and purpose in life.
David Stanton will be talking with me about this at noon today.
David is interviewing me on WIS-TV (Channel 10) at noon.
If you’re in South Carolina, tune in and hear what we have to say.
David is a good interviewer. No telling what he’ll get me to say.
And think about self-discipline and what good habits can do for you.
You’ll make enough mistakes in life without repeating all of mine.
Learn from your mistakes. And learn from those of others.
