If you look, these success habits and attitudes are everywhere. Yours for taking. However, to work for you they must be internalized. They must become a part of you, your natural way.

To make this internalization process work for you, you must focus on habit/attitude long enough for it to sink in. Focus + Time = Internalization.

In sport, athletes train for years, with coaches, to make certain movements natural. If you have to think during competition, you've already lost.

Reading an article like this, reading a book, or going to a seminar gives you an introduction to habit or attitude. If information has great meaning for you and you apply it right away and continue to use it, everyday, you have adopted a new success habit/attitude.

But think back to last book you read. If it was a good book you probably came across several ideas that made sense and would help you succeed. But each idea was forgotten by time you were on next chapter thinking about new idea being discussed.

This is not a weakness in you. It is human nature.

People Become or Achieve What They Focus On.

Once you incorporate that basic fact into your life you can succeed at anything you are willing to do.

This brings us back to beginning of this article: Think certain thoughts + do certain things = success.

The certain thoughts and certain things are success habits/attitudes like desire, purpose, persistence, etc.

To internalize these success habits/attitudes you must reinforce them continually. You must focus on a single habit/attitude at a time for them to become a natural part of you. The more you do to bombard yourself with one focused topic at a time stronger you will internalize it.
