Too many people want to be a success like other people who are a success. But, the majority of them don’t know how to be a success, they just can see someone’s success up to envy to them and wish that they can be like him without a hard struggle. When they asked why don’t start doing it, many of them give many kinds of reasons like “I’m stupid”, ”I have nothing and I’m nothing!”, and like this, like that, what is that?
That is bullshit. Someone’s success starts from a small thing, but he is doing that more and more until makes habits that be part of him. To reach success like others so must have habits like successful people.
So, how do you be successful but your habit of just scrolling TikTok every day?

So what are habits? Habits are everything that we do automatically even if we do that without thinking. Habits are some activities that are done more and more up to be part of human life. That is our habit.
When we see a magician’s performance, what we see is the result of many repetitions. And we can make sure that is not the first trick that does by the magician but was trained by hundreds up to thousands. Every eye is amused when they perform successfully and too many say that he is special, that is a natural talent, but for the magician that is just a common thing, why?
Because he was doing that repeatedly. What will be happened when the magician tells the secret of his tricks? One by one? Step by step? So you will say “oh, just that.”, ”If just like that, I can do so”. These words will be out of your mind when you know the power of habit. You will not be surprised more by someone’s success, because you know the secret.
Okay, you already know the secret, to make new habits you must to chose what will you do, what is your success? What are the goals?
If you own it already, it is time to enter the steps for making a new habit on the line that you want. first, start with a small thing, if we decide high goal from the first just makes us bored and stopping in the middle and including will be failed. However, if something habited we will increase that to the next level automatically because we feel that is less. Second, find the place. To make a habit, we must insert that habit into the other habits(what makes), the key is the ”after” word, like, “I will do sport after praying subuh.” Inserting the afterword makes the habit automated by the time the trigger is. Third, keep practicing! So, make a reminder in every place that usually we do an activity like in the bedroom, at the office, etc. Or you can request your friends to always remind you, and remember to do that every day!
