From all the books I’ve read in the past, what I’ve learned is that if you want to live your life from good to great, you must commit to one thing – constant and never ending improvement!
Anthony Robbins, one of my favorite success gurus, called it CANI – Constant And Never Ending-Improvement.
Yes, if you want to produce amazing results in your life, you must learn constantly. If you want to be the top in your industry or the field you’re in, you must strive to improve all the time.
This is how Japan become one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. The Japanese constantly improve the quality of their cars because they commit to CANI, or in Japanese, they called it Kaizen.
And this is exactly what you need if you want to turn your life from good to great.
Take reading for example, if you commit to read a book in a month, you’ll have read 12 books in a year. And do you think this 12 books are going to change the way you look at life and help you to improve your life in a year?
Obviously, the answer is a BIG YES!
If a book will change your life by just a little bit, by the end of a year, you’ll totally become a new person who lives a great life. What if you read two books in a month? Will you speed up the process? You bet!
Anthony Robbins read more than 700 books in the field of personal development, which is what makes the top person in this related area and he makes millions of dollars in this industry.
Leaders are readers. Constantly improving yourself little by little, you’re going to create big changes after a long time. The key is consistency. You’ve to consistently take small action each and everyday to improve the quality of your life. Even if it is just a small action such as a phone call, writing down your goal, affirm your goal, visualize your success or spend 30 minutes into reading.
What you do everyday is going to determine what you’re going to get in the future.
Hey, the best time to plan for the next 10 years is now, not 10 years from now. Understand this statement and reread it if you don’t understand it.
Many people never do anything about their future. Let me tell you this, 10 years from now will surely arrive, the only question then will be, where will you be?
Will you still be in the same place doing the same thing and thinking the same thought? How are you going to use that 10 years? What do you want to accomplish in these years?
Find out the answer right now, write them all down and start to create plans and take massive action to achieve them.
It is now that is going to determine your future. What you do now is going to affect you’re going to get in the future. And if you’re not doing anything, you’ll stay the same when the time come.
Do you know that the first best time to plant a tree is when you were born into this world? And do you know when is the second best time to plant it? The second best time is now!
So commit yourself to constant and never ending improvement from now on. If you have missed the chance of making it as a habit in the past, now will be the perfect time for you. And don’t wait for another 10 years to do this. You don’t have much time left to waste.
This is how successful people are able to turn their life around. In the beginning, they may seem like doing something that is wasting their time and yield no results. However, after a long time, their effort will start to pay off. This is the real power of consistency.
And this is the power that you must learn and acquire right now. It will change your life forever.
