Often when reading a book, we fully decide to apply what we need in our lives. All too often though, we forget our good intentions. Here are five practical ways to turn good intentions into practical habits.
1. READ THE BOOK MORE THAN ONCE. Be encouraged to personalize and internalize the principles. Many people have generated a turning point in their lives by reading this book from cover to cover and then reading it at least once again.
2. UNDERLINE AND MAKE NOTES. Have a pen and a highlighter in your hand. Underline specific lines and paragraphs - a simple act that will triple your retention rate. Write your own thoughts in the margins and make it your book.
3. REREAD YOUR UNDERLINES. By underlining and highlighting, you can quickly review key items and portions of this book. Then re-read your key items over and over.
4. APPLY THE MATERIAL IMMEDIATELY. There is an old saying, "Hear something... you forget it. See something... you remember it. Do something...you understand it. Apply what you learn as soon as you possibly can... it helps you understand and remember it."
5. PRIORITIZE WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN. Select two or three items from this book. Apply them faithfully, and make them a habit.
Remember, every living person struggles with turning good intentions into habits. Using these five points will turn wishing into doing and doing into habits.
Many successful people in the past have traced a new, exciting, profitable chapter in their lives to the reading of a specific book. I want that to happen to you.
Write the date you started reading the book: ____________________________________________
May the date you have just written be the beginning of incredible blessings, rewards, and growth.
See You on the Beaches of the World,
