Written by Lifebook Member Damion Lupo Over the last few months I started noticing a consistent response when I’d ask people how they were doing with their goals.  I heard one thing more than anything else: “I’m working hard, making progress and moving forward.” Everyone seemed to be using a check-box goal system comprised of visualization + action to drive their lives towards success.  But then I started to think. What if this process is wrong?  What if this process completely masks the key to happiness?

“Motivation is what gets you started.  Habit is what keeps you going.” -Jim Ryun This principle is simple and straightforward. Habits are what shape our lives - for better or worse - and ultimately define us as human beings. We ARE what we continuously DO. What are your behaviors adding up to? Confucius said, “The Nature of men is always the same; it is their habits that carry them far apart.” And the great Roman poet Ovid said, “Habits change into character.” If we look at the areas of our life where we do really well consistently, we’ll find that it’s because of the things we do habitually. Sure, we’ll have our peaks and valleys, but if we have good habits, we’ll stay above average. If we look at the weak or unsuccessful areas of our life, we’ll also find that it’s because of the things we do habitually. Again, some months will be better than others, but if we’re weak in a category on a consistent basis, it’s probably because of a few recurring negative habits that seem to have stuck.

The Principle of IMMENSE POTENTIAL says you are capable of miraculous things.

You’ve got more potential inside you that you could ever develop in a lifetime. Potentials so great that they are almost unimaginable. Powers that would astonish you and everyone around you, if you activated them and put into action.

You have the potential to create a truly extraordinary life for yourself.

You have the potential to be ultra-healthy, immensely wealthy, knowledgeable, vibrant, happy and fulfilled in every area of your life. Just about everyone has that potential. However, most people will never even brush up against their true potential. They won’t realize even a fraction of what they’re truly capable of. Why is that?

What’s the difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people?

Of course this isn’t a simple question, and it doesn’t have a simple answer. There are countless forces involved. But one thing is certain: your Character will play a major role – if not THE major role – in the story of whether or not you actualize yourself and unlock your immense potential. This month we’re focusing on a specific family of Character traits that are seldom talked about in personal development circles… But they’re traits we all need to develop in order to achieve a truly extraordinary life. For lack of a better term, Jon Butcher (our Founder here at Lifebook) calls them the ‘bad ass’ character traits. :) Here they are...

The two photos below were taken 20 years apart… to the week. The one on the left was the very first photo in the very first version of my very first Lifebook. It has been in my Health and Fitness chapter for 20 years. I’ve branded that image on my mind… It’s my vision of WHO I AM in the area of Health and Fitness. Missy took the second one the week of my 49th birthday. Two decades is a long time, but not much has changed… I am at the same weight, same waist size, and same body fat percentage as I was 20 years earlier.
