30 days: Change your habits, Change your life

It doesn’t matter what
happened in your past. Your future is a clean sheet!
You can
reinvent yourself! Every day brings with it the opportunity to start a
new life! You get to choose your identity at each and every moment!
So who are you going to be? It’s up to you to decide who you are
going to be from this day on. What are you going to do?
If you DO some of the things suggested in this book, create new
habits, and do just some of the many exercises that you will find
here, things will start to shift. 
It’s not going to be easy and you will
need discipline, patience and persistence.
But the results will
come.
In 2008, when FC Barcelona’s coach Josep “Pep” Guardiola took
charge of the team that was in a desolate state, he told the 73,000
people in attendance in the stadium and the millions of viewers on
Catalonian television, in his inauguration speech: “We can’t promise
you titles, what we can promise you is effort and that we will persist,
persist, persist until the end. Fasten your seatbelts—we are going to
have fun.” This speech started the most successful period in the 115

years history of the club and few people think it can ever be
repeated. The team went on to win three national championships,
two national cups, three Spanish Supercups, two European
Supercups, two Champions Leagues and two World Club
Championships in their four years of domination of World football. (If
you don’t follow soccer: This is like a mediocre NFL team winning
four Superbowls in a row).
They rewrote their story.
Now it’s your turn. Make some effort and persist, persist, persist!
Don’t give up! Fasten your seatbelts and have some fun!

Self-discipline and commitment
It was character that got us out of bed, commitment
that moved us into action and discipline that enabled
us to follow through.
—ZIG ZIGLAR
If you cannot do great things,
do small things in a great way.
—NAPOLEON HILL
This is one of the first chapters because it will be the foundation of
your future success. Your way to success and happiness is deeply
connected to your willpower and commitment. These character traits
will decide whether you do what you said you would do and go
through with it. These will keep you going toward your goals, even
when everything seems to go against you.
