Your Habits Will Determine Your Future
YOUR HABITS WILL DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE By Norm Bettencourt of

We all have dreams, desires, goals and it's great to daydream
about what it would be like holding that title belt high in the
air feeling the energy of the crowd cheering you on. Back to
reality now and here's a question for you. How much time do you
put into a day to make that dream come true? The time you spend
training or doing something productive to get closer to your
goal or dream, compared to sitting on your couch watching TV.
Don't get me wrong daydreaming can be productive if you know how
to creatively visualize. Realize that your habits will determine
your future. Successful people have successful habits,
unsuccessful people don't. To get your dream to materialize you
need a plan to structure your time into productive slots. All
successful people have a plan, follow it, and gauge their
progress by it. Work towards making the majority of your time
being productive towards your goal, i.e. training and
conditioning, read and view material that is going to help you
become a better fighter such as viewing video of your fights and
your opponents to see what you need to work on.
IT'S ALL ABOUT WERE YOU PUT YOUR FOCUS
Ninety percent of your focus and energy should be directed at
your fight plan and career if you want to succeed in the MMA
world or in any goal in life. Instead of coming home from a long
day at work kicking back with a beer and watching the game, put
on an instructional dvd to help you learn new techniques or
improve on your speed or power. Go to the gym left weights, do
cardio, strength train or work on techniques with your sparring
partner. During work or on your way home visualize yourself in a
match performing a technique you have recently learned, so it
becomes ingrained in your subconscious and is in your arsenal.
Build on your strengths, not on your weakness. There are three
kinds of people, people that make things happen, people that
watch things happen and people who say what just happened. Which
one are you? So if you keep asking yourself why your fight
career isn't happening take an honest inventory of yourself
because it's about were we put the focus in our life that
determines were we are going. If you keep on doing what you
always done you'll keep getting what you always got. Making your
dreams become reality is not about luck, or "if it's meant to be
it will happen". It's not hocus-pocus; it's all about were you
put your focus.
