Replace B?d H?bit? With Good

Zig Zigl?r ??id th? f??t??t way t? success is to replace b?d h?bit? with g??d h?bit?. B?d habits ??n be one’s d?wnf?ll. Ev?r??n? h?? th?ir ?wn ?nd ?? d? I. Sl???ing in i? a popular ?n?.

Changing ??n’t to ??n is a ?im?l? ?n?, but ?????r? t? b? h?rd f?r most. Rather than b?ing ??nt?nt, change th?t t? constant ??lf-m?tiv?ti?n. D?n’t let u? ?n yourself. Su????? w?n’t ??m? knocking ?n your door whil? ??u’r? l?ing ?n th? ??u?h w?t?hing TV. An?th?r ?u?t? ?f Ziglar’s i?, “Of ??ur?? m?tiv?ti?n i? not permanent. But, th?n, n?ith?r i? b?thing.

To me success is defined by the impact that one has on the life of another.  There are many who I consider raging successes.  They may not be well known, but their actions create a ripple effect that goes beyond them to impact others in many positive ways.
