<li>] the power of creating good habits</li>
<ol>
<li>] Learn how to do it. Figure it out. Then spend 1 month to learn how to do this better. Practice it every day for 1 month before taking on anything else.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] After the 1 month is over this will have become your habit and you will be able to do it unconsciously. Then when you add another thing from the list below it won't seem very hard.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Within the year you'll be doing each of these things unconsciously and will have developed an arsenal of habits that will support you for the rest of your life.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Once a habit is established it lasts for a life time.&nbsp;Developing a habit in the beginning seems hard, but once you master something and include it in your habits, it will be forgotten and you'll just do it easily.&nbsp;uses example tying your shoelaces&nbsp;</li>
<li>] A habit is usually formed when you repeat something in the exact same manner everyday for at least 21 days. Some habits take longer, some shorter. So to average it out - invest 30 days to establish each habit.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>] DO these 5 things daily - starting with 1 of them, he&nbsp;WARNS about not trying &gt;1, convinces you with the argument for the power of creating good habits<ol>

</ol>
<li>] CONCLUSIONS - putting it all to work for you</li>
<ol>
<li>] These habits when put in to action will enhance your life profoundly.&nbsp; You won't feel it&nbsp;in the short term&nbsp;when you turn 23, or even when you are 24. But as you progress as you spend more and more time in this, your results will multiply and compound.&nbsp; Each day that you spend doing these activities your results will increase ten fold.&nbsp; By the time you turn 30 you will have more friends who love you, more employers who want to hire you, and more energy than you can imagine possible.&nbsp; But on top of that because your life is built around a number of activities, not just your job, you will be more fulfilled and happier in life.</li>

<h2>[HOW-TO]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] body</li>
<ol>
<li>] diet - meal plan, grocery purchase, meal preperation</li>
<li>] fitness -</li>
<li>] health -&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>] mind</li>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;The mind, like anything else, has the characteristics of a muscle. You use it or lose it.</li>
<li>] Read every day. Books over blogs,&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Write every day. The only way to bring your thoughts to reality is to write them down. If you don't write them down they will be lost to the electric impulses inside your brain. So write your thoughts down, write ideas that come to you, write your philosophy about life. Write every day. This will help you clear your thought and formulate complete ideas. If you have a problem. Write it down. You will be able to come up with a solution better, once you've written down the problem.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Writing will help identify truths about your thoughts and define how you think. As you progress in your writing, read about writing better. Then write better.&nbsp;The better you write, the better you will think</li>
<li>]&nbsp;You can create new neural connections in your mind by doing new things. The more 'new' things you try the more your brain will become developed.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Plan to learn a new skill every year. Pick up playing an instrument one year. Spend time learning this instrument like this will be something that you will play all your life.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] The next year learn to play a new sport. Something that you've never tried before. This will both help your muscles improve and improve your mind.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Dont feed your mind with junk. If you feed your mind with junk 'input' like mindless television, excessive drama, or constant news coverage whether TV or newspapers, your mind will become lethargic and fatigued.&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;So avoid all news, whether TV or newspaper. Avoid junk TV like dramas on TV. Avoid excessive emotional drama on TV. This will give you space in your head to do things that will help build up your mind.&nbsp;</li>
<li>??]&nbsp;Take a look at the world news for today. Pick up the newspaper and read the editorials in your newspaper. Then go online and read the newspapers of the country that those editorials were about. The opinions in those editorials will be completely different.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] A better way to get exposure of other people cultures, mental stimulation, and discover what's going outside your own home is to travel, or meet other people. &nbsp;You wont miss what's happening in the news - people will tell you anyway. So while it's great to be exposed to different points of view, you won't get them in the news. The news will only report the 'bad' news, using shock, anxiety and fear.&nbsp;Excessive news will only stress a 24 year old and make them feel like they can't do anything, or become indifferent to the sufferings of others. A better idea is to discover issues afflicting the community where you live.</li>
<li>] If you think a TV show is good - write down what you like about the show, then go out and experience that for yourself. Go meet people do some stuff in the real world. This will give you the habit of becoming an action taker, getting in the game, instead of sitting on the sidelines watching others.&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;So avoid junk food for your mind and give it the resources to build itself.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>] relationships</li>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;Remember - Birthdays &amp; Anniversaries. &nbsp;] Remember the special moments in their lives. If they had a kid, remember the date and call them, or write them a card on that occasion. ]&nbsp;Remember when they had hard times in their lives. If they were close to their grandparents and they recently passed away. Remember them on that day. Help your friends get over these moments.&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;Forgiveness - Forgive Them Before They Ask For Forgiveness ]&nbsp;This is more for you, than for them. If you keep holding onto every single hurt that any one has done for you then your baggage will become so heavy you won't be able to go through the door.&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;Avoid&nbsp;- Emotional Vampires - ] No matter how good you are to people, occasionally there will be some who are vampires. They suck all the time and energy out of you. ] Sometimes you will encounter them at your workplace. Some of them will be your childhood friends, or even a member of your family. ] No matter what you do, you can't change them, you can't help them improve, you cannot guide them. ] So the best thing to do with people like this is to avoid them. Though it might hurt you in the beginning, but the best thing for you and them is to avoid them. CAUTION:If it turns out that everyone in your life seems to be a vampire you either need to change them all, or look inside yourself and change yourself. ] Most likely, the conclusion will be to change yourself and your attitude towards them.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>] finances</li>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>] communications</li>
<ol>
<li>] The&nbsp;biggest problems in the world arise because of mis-communication.&nbsp;People mis-understand each other.</li>
<li>] So take care of your communication.&nbsp;Become a communication master.&nbsp;Become some one who can communicate clearly and effectively. Not just in your speaking, but in your writing, in your thoughts.</li>
<li>] communicate at the 6th grade level -</li>
<li>] learn the vocabulary of whatever you are doing -</li>
