Yes, success comes about more certainly when you give yourself no other choice. The post was not so much about changing our habits though. But I'm glad you mentioned that. Gives me the opportunity to let you know what I am coming up with a new series right here to change habits through 21-day challenges. I look forward to seeing you around. <strong>@Steve:</strong> Steve, It's a pleasure to see you here at Secrets of Success. I had been waiting :D And what's more, you have been saving this for your birthday :-) "Happy Birthday!" once again! Thanks for your kind comments, and I'm glad you liked the post. I agree with you that this would apply to most people (just stopping short of saying "everyone"), however much they may try to deny the fact. True, and if there's someone who can truly apply this in all walks of life, there would be no limits to his/her success. <strong>@Jam:</strong> Jovir, Glad to see you around after a long time. Had been thinking of dropping by your blog to let you know that you were on my top commentators list (It's not that there was much competition though, LOL!), but I guess you figured that yourself already. I also see that you have a new blog that you are promoting. I'll drop by one of these days and check it out. Wishing success to you all, Mark @Eric:

Hi Eric,

Welcome to Secrets of Success! Yes, success comes about more certainly when you give yourself no other choice.

The post was not so much about changing our habits though. But I’m glad you mentioned that. Gives me the opportunity to let you know what I am coming up with a new series right here to change habits through 21-day challenges. I look forward to seeing you around.

Just about every time I absolutely have to be somewhere for a meeting or an appointment in the early morning, I wake up in a slight panic two minutes before my alarm clock goes off. Any other day, I'd just hit the snooze button, but when I know I HAVE to get up, I do. I bet that most people are the same way, and I also feel if we could manage to use this same philosophy in other aspects of our lives, we'd get out of our comfort zones and start doing things we "can't" do a lot more often!

You have to put yourself into situations where you must succeed or failure becomes obvious. Then the can't easily becomes can. You learned the most powerful lesson of all. That you can change!
