Creating new habits
“I know all this stuff I say. I’ve been doing it for years.”
“Oh really,” says that other voice, “then why are you in ill health and struggling with your business?”
I joined the Master Key course because I know that my mind is holding me back from my greatness.
The first day after the incredible webinar, I started with the exercises, first creating OATS to schedule the discipline and repetition of the reading out loud principles with enthusiasm. If it’s not written it’s not true!
I’m reading the first Og Mandino (Oggie) scroll 3 times, morning, noon and night, and guess what I discovered?
Here’s the thing – even though I have been a disciple of Oggie for 5 years, I had NEVER read the scroll more than once a day, and then I skipped days, and then I stopped.
Oggie reminds us to be repetitive. Why has this not occurred to me before? Oggie tells us that we are to become slaves to our new habits. Why did this not resonate before? How can I change my reality if I don’t change my old habits, perpetuated by a sickly old mind blueprint?
By becoming aware. By monitoring my thoughts. Day in and day out. By being consistently consistent. By applying the laws of the mind. What I think about, I bring about.
How can I begin a new life, if I continue to repeat the old?
Repetition is the mother of all skill. And repetition of nothing becomes nothing! Duh!
And then boom! I realized in my daily ‘sit,’ that I was questioning my purpose. I had a written DMP for a few months already, BUT, I didn’t read it as was suggested. And then I wonder why nothing has changed?
So this week has helped me realize that if I don’t do the suggested consistent repetitions, then I’m wasting my time. And ultimately my life. If I don’t commit to the self discipline, then I cannot expect my life to change.
I’m working on a new DMP. I’m reading my Master Key notes daily. I’m reading my blueprint builder 3 times daily. All with enthusiasm! Once more than suggested, because I made a signed promise and commitment, and this time, I have no choice but to uphold it.
So much for knowing it all, this is now a new experience. A new habit.
I am made in excellence by Excellence for excellence.
Absolutely, yes!
We must be slaves of good habits
