I love Personal Development.
The love affair started when I joined a MLM company and was inadvertently surrounded by people who immersed themselves in these type of ideas.
Once I was surrounded by people striving to improve, I too was bit by the bug.
A whole new world opened up to me. Once I stated applying what I learned, my life improved in like fashion. It was like magic.
My love for the field of Personal Development is why I’m bursting with excitement to bring to your attention a blog that I admire.
The name of this blog is DevelopGoodHabits.com.
I don’t frequent many blogs but this one is different. Read what I have to say about it and you’ll soon know why it’s a game changer.
Develop Good Habits
Develop Good Habits is a blog that was started by a gentleman named Steve Scott.
Steve started this site because, like me, he has a profound interest in self-help. Because of this, he became acutely aware of some of the problems in the field.
More specifically, the whole concept of “The Law of Attraction” and positive thinking as a whole rubbed him the wrong way. He believed it made people lazy and wishing for a good life when they could be creating one.
I couldn’t agree more.
Steve has a different outlook on how you create a better life for you and your family. His conviction is that habits are the key.
The thing that separates the successful from the mediocre is simply what they do every day. In other words, their habits.
I’m in total accord with this. As a strong proponent for self-help myself, I know that most of your behavior is controlled by your habits. We rarely take new actions or make new decisions.
Once you understand this, you should understand the importance of good habit cultivation. Don’t underestimate the power of this. As Warren Buffett once said:
“The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they’re too hard to be broken”.
Steve drives home this fact by constantly putting out blog post on how to develop different types of habits for different purposes.
At the time of this writing, I even purchased an E-Book on his website entitled “The Miracle Morning for Writers”. It shows you how to build habits that are congruent with a successful writing life.
As you can see, these type of books and blogs can offer tons of benefits.
Benefits
Many people can surely benefit off of following the posts created by Steve and other contributors to his website.
Anyone who’s interested in personal development should definitely visit to see if anything their piques their interest.
I know we said that Steve’s website is all about habit formation and changing your life through your daily routine, but I want to really unpack that statement here.

-Elminate bad habits like smoking, nail biting and video game addiction

Books
I was so excited when I stumbled upon this site that I couldn’t wait to see what kind of books they offered.
When you go to the book list over at Develepgoodhabits.com, you will first see a list of “175 Must Read Book”. Seeing this list instantly made me smile because I love book recommendations by smart people.
Next, you’ll see a list of books that were written by Steve Scott. When this man says he knows habits he is certainly not lying.
The books listed here touch on many different areas of people’s lives and approach these problem areas from the angle of habit formation.
To give you context, a couple of the books listed are:
– “Declutter Your Mind”
– “Exercise Every Day: 32 tactics for Building the Exercise Habit”
– “Confident You: An Introvert’s Guide to Success in Life and Business”
– “ 23 Anti-Procrastination Habits: How to Stop Being Lazy and Overcome Your Procrastination”
And these are just to name a few. That guy Steve is a busy fellow. If you question whether or not these books are of substance just consider the fact that James Altucher has written the Forward of one of them. That should serve as confirmation.
If you don’t want to start your journey by purchasing a book, that’s ok. I mean, it’s cheap, but it’s ok. You can always check out some of Steve’s blog posts which touch on similar topics.
Just make sure you revisit purchasing a book if you like the blog posts. Books are where the magic happens.
Conclusion

In life we ultimately find out that it’s the little things that are important. Little things compounded become big things. Habits are the little things that can change everything about your life.
