Your future is hidden in your daily routine…
你的未来躲藏在你的日程中…
Do you have the habits of a successful person? Your habits alone determine who you become. Your habits alone determine if you succeed.
你有成功人士所有的习惯吗？仅仅你的习惯就能决定你能成为谁，是否迈向成功。
James Allen said, “We are anxious to change our circumstances, but we are unwilling to change ourselves.”詹姆斯 ·艾伦曾经说过：“我们都努力去改变我们周围的环境，但我们都不愿意去改变我们自己。”
Put it another way, we are anxious to succeed, but we are unwilling to create the habits that cause success.
换句话来说，我们都很努力想要迈向成功，但我们却都不愿意去培养那些带来成功的习惯。
The Law of Habit
习惯的黄金定律
The Law of Habit states that the more frequently you perform a task the easier is becomes to perform that task the next time, and consequently, the more difficult it becomes not to perform the task.
习惯的黄金定律表明：一件事情，你完成的次数越多，就越容易去完成这一件事，也就是说，这件事情就会变得越来越容易了。
If you go the same way to work everyday, you would find it difficult to go in a different direction, simply because we are creatures of habit, and we protect the habits that we have, good or bad.
如果你每天都走同一条路去上班，你会发现你很难再另寻他径。那仅仅是因为我们是有习惯的生物，我们会不论好与坏地去保护我们所现拥有的习惯。
Over 90 percent of the tasks that we complete are rooted in habit: the way we put on our shirt, brush our teeth, skip flossing at night, all are rooted in habit.
我们完成的事情有超过90%都已经根深蒂固地成为了习惯，就像我们穿衣服的方式、刷牙的方式、晚上剔牙的方式等等。
Our habits are a very powerful tool, and when used to our benefit can be life altering. However, they can also be used to our detriment.
我们的习惯是一个非常强大的工具，当我们把习惯运用在对我们有利的地方时，将会是终生受用的。然而，习惯也会对我们造成伤害。
The Purpose of Discipline and Will Power纪律和意志力的目的
Discipline will only get you so far. In order to make progress you need to tap into the power of your subconscious mind, the source of your habits.
纪律能帮到你的始终有限。你只有把好习惯的力量潜移默化地融入潜意识中，才会有所提高。
The subconscious mind is the “work horse” of the mind because it controls your habits; it manages the “habits” that accounts for your life.
潜意识是大脑的忠实地执行者，它操纵着那些与你生活息息相关的习惯。
If you have good habits programmed into your subconscious mind, then you will do good things, and you will succeed. And, if you have bad habits programmed into your subconscious mind, then you will act accordingly.
如果你拥有一个好的习惯，你就会去做一些对自己有益的事情，一步一步迈向成功。但如果你有些根深蒂固的坏习惯，你也会相应地表现出来。
Discipline and will power are to be used to create the right habits, and then those habits will give you the life you desire.
纪律和意志力都能帮你培养一些好的习惯，那些习惯会协助你过上自己想要的生活。
Change Your Habits
改变你的习惯
Today I want to encourage you to change some of your bad habits to good habits and use the power of “habit” to change your life.
今天，我想鼓励你去改变你的坏习惯，从而用好习惯的力量去改变你的生活。
If you can learn how to have a perfect day, then you can have a perfect life, you just have to duplicate that day through the tool of your habits.
如果你知道怎样才能拥有完美的一天，那你就学会了怎样拥有一个完美的人生，因为你只需要利用习惯，不断重复那完美的一天就行了。
Your habits are a servant, and they will enslave you or free you. You choose by using your will power what they do. When you consciously make a choice over and over again, it eventually becomes a habit. Your desires are turned over to the force of habit, and you become the slave of the habit.
你的习惯是你忠实的仆人，你只需要用你的意念选择你想让他们做的事。让你一次又一次地有意识地去选择同一件事，它最终会变成一个习惯。你的需求就会反过来成为习惯的力量，然后你就会变成了习惯的奴隶了。
If you’re wise you will use your will to create beneficial habits, and those beneficial habits will grant you the life you desire.
若你明智地去用你的意念去培养一些有益的习惯，这些有益的习惯就会回报给你你想要的生活。
The Profound Power of Habits
习惯深不可测的力量
Your habits will take you further than your dreams. You don’t need a miracle, and you don’t need to be lucky. You need the right set of habits.
相比你的梦想，你的习惯会带领你走得更远。在走向成功的路途上，你甚至不需要一丝丝的奇迹与幸运，你仅仅需要一系列好的习惯。
If you have the habits of a rich person then you will become rich, if you have the habits of a thin person then you will become thin, if you have the habits of a successful person, then you will become successful, it’s all about the habits that you have.
如果你拥有富人所拥有的习惯，你便会成为富人；如果你拥有瘦者所拥有的习惯，你就会变瘦；如果你拥有成为一名成功人士所拥有的习惯，你就会迈向成功。所有的一切都取自于你的习惯。
It’s important that you discover the habits that cause you to succeed in a given area. Once you find what those habits are it’s just a matter of using your will to repeat that activity over and over until it becomes a habit.
发现那些能引导你成功的习惯是一件很重要的事。一旦你找到那些习惯，你只需运用你的意志去一遍又一遍地重复那些让你迈向成功的事情直至它变成一种习惯。
Getting the Right Habits
培养好的习惯
If you can get the habits right, the results will come automatically. A habit of investing large sums of money will eventually make you rich; a habit of eating the right foods and exercising will eventually give you the body of your dreams.
如果你培养了好的习惯，好的结果便会无声无息地来到你的身边。一个把积累起来的钱用于投资的习惯，最终会给你带来富裕；一个健康的饮食以及锻炼的习惯，最终会让你拥有你梦寐以求的身材。
Will power can’t do this for you because you only have a limited amount of will power. That will power is used up every time you resist a habit and even when you’re under stress.
意志的力量不会为你做这些事，因为你拥有的意志是有限的。即使在备受压力的情况下，你依然坚持这你的习惯，而意志的力量将会在这个时候耗尽。
Will Power
意志的力量
Will power shouldn’t be used for avoiding habits directly, but for creating new habits; a slight but crucial difference.
意志的力量不应该用在直接阻止某些已成的习惯上面，而应该用在创造新的习惯上。这是一个轻微但关键的不同。
That’s why it’s critical that you muster up all of your will power to create a habit and not use your will power as the source of controlling your activities. You can’t consistently use your will power to keep you from doing your habits. You must use your will power to create new habits.
那就是为什么你用尽你的意志去创造一个好的习惯而非用你的意志力量作为你的控制你行为的源泉显得如此的重要。你做不到持续地用你的意志力去阻碍你做你习惯的事，所以你必须用你的意志力去培养一个新的好的习惯。
How do you create new habits? By performing the task over and over again at the same time, in generally the same way.
怎么培养一个新的好的习惯？你可以用同样的方式在短时间内不断重复你想要成为习惯的事情。
When you do this you will have a new habit, which will take control over the old habit. It won’t be easy at first, but once the habit becomes set, it will be as difficult to break the new habit as it was to break the old habit.
当你这样做，你会拥有一个新的习惯从而摒弃旧的习惯。虽然这一切一开始并不容易，当一旦新习惯培养起来，就会像旧的习惯一样难以摒弃。
Breaking Old Habits
摒弃旧的习惯
The best way to break a habit is to replace it with a new habit. You replace eating bad food with a habit of eating good food. You replace not working out at 1:00pm with working out everyday at 1:00pm. Not saving money with saving money. You find the opposite of the task and you perform that as well. And if you can do it consistently, through will power at first, then you will build the habit and the habit will cause you to succeed.
培养一个新的习惯是摒弃旧习惯的最好方式。你可以用好的饮食习惯去取代坏的饮食习惯。你也可以用每天下午1点工作来取代下午一点不工作。你也可以培养的习惯来取代不存钱的习惯。当你发现你的坏习惯的时候，你可以做出与习惯相反的行为。如果你可以持续地做到这点，当然，一开始的时候是靠意志的力量的，久而久之，你便会培养起这个习惯。而这个习惯将会引导你成功。
How long will it take? It depends on the complexity of the habit that you’re trying to break and how deeply it’s rooted in your life. But one things for sure, if you keep on going in the right direction you will eventually get to your destination. And another thing, failure is not an option for you, so keep working on creating the habit until you succeed.
培养习惯将会持续多久呢？这取决于你所要改变的习惯的复杂性和你对它在生活的依赖性。但可以确定的是，如果你一直沿着对的方向走，你最终能到达你的目的地。另外，既然你不选择失败，你要不管地培养那些能让你成功的习惯直至迈向成功的大门。
In Closing
结束语
Nothing is more important then the right habits which will cause success. Can you build the right habits, I believe you can? Here’s to starting new life-changing habits, here’s to your success.
没有什么事比能让人成功的习惯还重要的。你能培养那些好的习惯嘛？我可以相信你能嘛？从现在开始用不断改变坏的习惯来过一个新的人生吧，从此开始迈向成功！
