I was
fortunate enough to start my now-20-year Training Career at Franklin Covey. It
was fabulous to work for a Training Company (especially the best in the
business), because I got to attend the trainings all the time. I still use the
stuff I learned in 7 Habits, Principle-Centered Leadership, etc., in both my personal and professional life.
One of
Stephen Covey’s leading principles is that it takes 21-days to MAKE or BREAK a
habit. I love this principle, teach it frequently, and I use it constantly in
my personal life. To change something “forever” seems too daunting most of the
time to me – but for 21 days??? Heck, even I
can do that.
It’s how
I approach diets or healthy-eating choices. Sure I can give up Diet Coke for 21
days. I can probably give up chocolate for 21 days. It’s an easy,
one-bite-at-a-time approach to Eating that Elephant – or facing any big goal. And
the best part is: It Works!
I’ve now
done this blogging thing for 21-days straight. And I’m pretty proud of myself
for that accomplishment. I sat down and read through the past 21 blog posts
this morning – and I like seeing that I am 21-steps farther down the path of
this 83-day Journey. I'm happy that I set a goal and accomplished it. And, to
quote Kelly Olsen, “Nothing succeeds like success.” – so now I’m energized to
keep going.
