Way to show some discipline here! And now you've written it down, so there's no turning back :)

I remember reading Covey's book years ago and found it pretty profound. I was in the process of changing my eating habits and exercise and ended up realizing a whole lot more about change by the end, but the paradigm business really struck me as well.

It's interesting because I see the same with successful people on steemit. Most begin with visions of retiring early from their blogging, but if they make a paradigm shift and place their focus on others, as opposed to on themselves, suddenly doors open up. The real success here is in your community and not solely in yourself.

I really like the idea of showcasing a book you're reading too; it's something I've considered before, and after reading your post, I may have to get that idea back out, dust it off and revisit it. Thanks!
