Creating the Life You Desire with Ten Daily Habits

Written by Diann Cannon

Let us say, for example, you would like to have more energy inrepparttar afternoon. Perhaps changing your diet and exercising would berepparttar 129512 answer. A little meditation or prayer time might also be beneficial.

Developingrepparttar 129513 skills you need to get a promotion at work might entail taking a class or studying on your own. I suggested one of my clients read his materials into an tape recorder so he could listen to them while going from job to job.

Staying in touch with your friends may involve a phone call, a round of golf or a lunch date. How are you going to fit it in? Schedule it to make it a habit. (It is interesting that bad habits are so easy to pick, up isn't it?)

My ten habits include eating five fruits and vegetables a day, exercising, readingrepparttar 129514 Bible, returning phone calls, drinking plenty of water, journaling, and doing a load of laundry every day so it does not pile up.

I do not accomplish all ten habits every day. However,repparttar 129515 ones I miss I make sure to begin withrepparttar 129516 following day. With this practice, I'm building good habits that take me inrepparttar 129517 direction I want to go in my life. Once any of these habits truly does become a habit, I can drop it off my list of ten and add another activity or behavior that I would like to incorporate into my lifestyle.

What Does it Take to Make Life Better?

The store manager snapped beforerepparttar woman could speak. ‘You ain’t coming in, we're closing.’

‘Tis okay,’repparttar 129511 woman said, in broken English. She unfolded a piece of paper and thrust it out torepparttar 129512 Store Manager. ‘I am looking forrepparttar 129513 Warwick Road. I am lost. Can you help me?’

‘Ain’t got a clue,’repparttar 129514 manager shrugged. As I eased throughrepparttar 129515 gap betweenrepparttar 129516 woman,repparttar 129517 door andrepparttar 129518 store manager, I was appalled by his attitude. He managed a bookstore – surely they stocked a map!

Then I thought… ‘Warwick Road. Warwick Road… I know that road… ‘Where is it? Where is it?’

Asrepparttar 129519 moments rushed by,repparttar 129520 woman disappeared, melding intorepparttar 129521 dark, busy streets of London. Then I rememberedrepparttar 129522 A-Z map I had in my hotel bedroom, which was no more than one hundred yards away. I knew I would have to run to catch her up, but as I started to run, something happen.

It all unfolded in my imagination: A woman walkingrepparttar 129523 streets in London, approached by a man jogging after her, calling out, ‘I can help. I can help,’ and saying follow me back to my hotel. I have an A-Z map up in my room!’

It didn’t add up.

I stopped dead in my tracks. I let her go. I let her go intorepparttar 129524 darkness of a London night… alone… And this is what happened to me when I got back to my hotel room.

It bothered me that I had not helpedrepparttar 129525 woman and I pacedrepparttar 129526 floor. It bothered me so much I ended up looking for Warwick Road onrepparttar 129527 A-Z map. I found it, right atrepparttar 129528 end ofrepparttar 129529 road my hotel was on… and for that matter whererepparttar 129530 bookstore was located! Right then I spottedrepparttar 129531 bag my new book was in and shook it out and it fell out ontorepparttar 129532 bed… open on a page with a very odd question.

It asked a question. ‘Who are you?’ Immediately I knew why I was so bothered by my inability to helprepparttar 129533 woman. In that moment it all made sense to me. I had become so frustrated because I knew that I could have helped that woman and didn’t. I knew I was here to help people find direction in life. And that realisation led to another…

It really was quite ironic as I thought aboutrepparttar 129534 events: here I was, supposedly not lost and yet a woman who had admitted to being lost had made me think about my life again. The fact that she had been lost and I had failed to help gave me a wonderful reminder of who I was and what my life path is all about. This woman who claimed to be lost had most definitely given me directions back to who I am; that’srepparttar 129535 ‘who’ that got lost in all those life issues.

What if every experience in life is sent to you so you can understand who you are and what life is all about? Don’t wait for a death or an accident to realise who you are and what is important to you. Live life now… in every moment!
