Principle #1: Make The Goal Juicy.

Whatever reason you start the habit, it has to be a juicy one.

None of those small dreams or small goals. If you are going to commit to doing something every day for this goal then it had better be worth it!

Go big or you won’t have the drive to see it through.

Principle #2: Forget About The Goal.

But you just said that we should make it big, juicy and worthy?!?

You’re absolutely right! And you should have a big goal to look towards.

But while you should have a ‘star’ guiding you along the way, you should never rely on reaching it.

Like an explorer on the open sea you look to the stars, but if you truly want to love the sea then you have to enjoy the voyage more than the destination.

Principle #3: Have Every Day Count.

The habit needs to be streamlined throughout. This means that, if you only do this habit with no alterations to it you will undoubtedly reach your goal.

Doing this makes every day important.

You will still miss some, but it is more important to be happy for each victory.
