These are in our control.\u00a0 These are habits.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThat\u2019s what Keller means in his above quote.\u00a0 We can\u2019t just decide our future - a millionaire, successful CEO, visionary.\u00a0 We decide our habits and that\u2019s what determines our future.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThis gives me hope.\u00a0 <br />\r\n<br />\r\nTo think that I have to do \u201ceverything\u201d all at once is overwhelming.\u00a0 But to think that building the habits of a millionaire is the best way to become one, that fires me up.\u00a0 Because millionaires (or writers, or actors or great parents) are not secretive. They openly share their story and how they became who they are today.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThey say that success leaves clues.\u00a0 Go to Amazon and order 5 books about people you idolize.\u00a0 Follow their steps to success. Copy their habits.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nTHAT\u2019S how you decide your future.\u00a0<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here\u00a0.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
