I
believe many of us who read the title would have felt the above phrase reverberating
in our ears which we would have heard quite a long back. Yes of course, this
is one of the self-improvement tool that focuses on mastering the ability to
cultivate a healthy habit to improve ourselves which was originally proposed by
Or I heard it while I was watching the motivational speeches of Mr Robin Sharma.
This
concept helps in mastering our ability to inculcate any good habits which we
are passionate about as a daily ritual on a regular basis in the long run. The
habits could range from getting up early in the morning at a specific time,
going for walk, gym, playing sports, practicing music, thanks giving, sending morning
wishes to the friends, journaling, helping in household work, the list goes on.
Any of these activities when done on regular basis will have a profound effect
on your personal and professional life.
Even
after reading that concept, I was not focused enough to implement due to my busy
schedule of working in multiple jobs. The saying goes, “When Student is ready
the Teacher Arrives”, so I did encounter a situation where I felt the need to
master one of the skills that would benefit my professional life. At that instance,
I remembered this idea (this is one of the benefit if we are a good reader, the
ideas pop out of our brain at the right time). So, it all started on 23rd
of September 2016. As every new habit offers the resistance in the beginning,
I did encounter initial resistance in the beginning but after few days I just
started to getting comfortable with the practice of the new ritual. After a
consistent practice of the habit, i was able to recognize a sort of
change, which will drove me further till the 21st day. When I look back today, the task that was
challenging and strange is now a quite easy comparatively and familiar. Totally
three different set of habits that I started have become a daily ritual of my
life. Wishing you all a good luck in pursuit of such rituals as per your
interest.
