which you would like to change and improve. Write down the things you would do to change those qualities. Say for instance, you have a nasty way of being obnoxiously tactless in speech. You can remove this bad behavior if you can make a “to-do” list on how to eliminate this bad habit. You can include in your todo list statements like: “I will slap my lips a bit if ever I begin to hurt another person by my bad habit of tactlessness.” You may also include statement like: “I will instead talk of the good quality of another person than say something bad.” With the reminders coming from the “to-do” list, you will soon eliminate the bad habit of tactlessness and develop the opposite virtue tactfulness. Likewise, make a “to-do” list on a daily basis. Moreover, you should make the effort of monitoring your progress and measuring your progress against your “to-do” list every day.

Reward Yourself For Every Goal Achieved

Now, the last point about this chapter boils down to the act of rewarding yourself for every goal that you have achieved in your “to-do” list. Make sure that you compliment yourself by giving yourself a good tap on the shoulder every time you see that you are making a significant progress towards your desired goals. Make sure that you give yourself a positive regard every time your monitor indicates that you have made a great stride towards positive change. When your every small success accumulates, you will notice someday that these small successes are the building blocks behind the great successes in your life. So affirm yourself every time you make a significant progress. This will give you enough confidence to further strive towards the improvement and development of yourself.
