Habit # 1 : Dare To DreamThere seem to be a lot of people in my circle of influence this year that are doing strange things.Some are tossing in their careers, while others are even leaving their homeland in pursuit of theirdreams. They are daring to dream. They are daring to live the dream. I love being in the companyof such people who are willing to break out of the status quo. Theyre my type of people.

Habit # 2 : Grasp A GoalDreamers need to attach goals to their dreams, for they are the necessary building blocks requiredto construct a fulfilled dream. Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year, andunderestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Any great wealth takes between 7 and 10years to develop. So start with a ten year goal, and then work backwards from there.


6/24

Establish a clear reason why you want to achieve that significant

goal, because that will keep you motivated and focusedthroughout the process of achieving that goal.

Habit # 3 : Pursue Your PassionThats where possibility is unveiled. Thats where potential is released. That is where the strong getstronger. That is where the joy becomes more joyous. This is where you work harder, smarter, andeven longer at times because work has become attractive. Work has in fact been transformedinto a labor of love.

It is the arena where you love what you

do and you do what you love.

Habit # 4 : Take Charge Of Your TimeThose who control their days and how their days are spent control the state of their future andtheir destiny. For if you can take charge of a minute you can certainly take charge of a lifetime.

And if you do whats important first and foremost each and every day of your life, you willcreate a significant and influential life.

Habit # 6 : Choose WisdomWisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight. In addition it is

exemplified by the administration of both common sense and good judgment. Let your

decisions be wise decisions. It is not always about choosing between right and wrong. It

can often be about choosing between good and best.


14/24

As a believer I am in a blessed position when it comes to accessing wisdom, for there

is a verse in the Bible that states that If any of you lack wisdom, ask.That means thatwhenever I am out of my depth I can gain access to a higher power !!!

Habit # 7 : Listen To Your MentorsMentors come in many forms, shapes, sizes and ages. None of us are an island, so make

sure that you listen up when your mentors speak. Surround yourself with wise counselorswhom you can draw inspiration and direction from.

Habit # 8 : Never Take Love For GrantedI still date my wife regularly. We communicate with each other at the deepest of levels. We praytogether. We listen to each other. We talk. We hold hands. We sit together in silence. We hug andembrace. We cry together. We plan. We dream. We love our children and their partners. Wegive. We share.

But one thing we have learnt to

do throughout the years, and

that is that we never take lovefor granted.

Habit # 9 : Resist Momentary PleasureSex. Money. Power. All three can provide momentary pleasure. Life, to be strong and fulfilled,must be built upon stronger stuff. All three play an important part in life, but if all you do is pursuethe momentary pleasures provided by these three, that have all at some time in history causedthe downfall of great men and women, then you are riding along a slippery road.


20/24

Sex is designed and to be used within the

confines of marriage. Money is designed

as a tool to not only get, but is a mighty

blessing to give. And power is best

administered through servant leadership.

Habit # 10 : Use Common SenseFollow your first impression. Your initial gut feeling about things will in most cases be correct. Trustyourself and be true to yourself, and if you wish to double check what you have decided to do,then run what you feel past one of your trusted mentors for clarification. Most decisions are notrocket science, and simply require the application of some good old fashioned common sense.
