How I Trained Myself To Stick To Any Good Habit in 21 Days How I Trained Myself To Stick To Any Good Habit in 21 Days Sticking to a habit feels harder than it should. Most of us start strong but give up after a few days — I’ve been there too. But this time, I decided to change that and trained myself to stick to any good habit in just 21 days. Here’s exactly how I did it so you can try it too. The First Thing - Remove All the Distractions Remove all the bad habits first. Stop scrolling reels, stop eating junk food. And try not to use social media unless it’s a part of your work. Remember, “When a man gets pleasure, he forgets his goals.” Being Bored is Better Than Scrolling Reels Studies show that embracing boredom actually helps your mental health and builds long-term thinking. Scrolling reels might entertain you for a moment, but it kills focus in the long run. If you want real growth and want to rise above, learn to sit with boredom. Plan Your Day Realistically...
One Life, One Shot – Why You Must Play Big
Everyone in this world gets only a single shot at this thing we call life. And in this one life, we are often faced with difficulties, failures, and setbacks. Most people give up too early. They try once, maybe twice, and when they don’t get what they want in the first attempt, in the first month, or even the first year, they throw it all away and convince themselves that “it wasn’t meant for me.”
But here’s the truth: the people who refuse to give up, the ones who keep going no matter how many times they fall, they’re the ones who win. They don’t care how many times they have to start over, how many times they look like fools, or how many times others laugh at them. They stand up again and again because deep inside, they believe they can make it. And that belief, that desperate hunger, is exactly what makes them unstoppable. Those are the people who actually succeed.
No Regrets in Life
We are all going to die one day. That’s guaranteed. You get only one life. So why die with regrets? Why look back wishing you had tried harder, or even tried at all? If you study the lives of the top 100 richest people in the world and magically take everything away from them—their money, their homes, their cars—within a decade they’ll be back on top. Why? Because their belief in themselves is so strong that nothing can hold them down for long. That’s the kind of confidence and persistence you need to build.
The best time in history, in any timezone, in any century, is always now. Not tomorrow, not next year, not “when things are perfect.” If you don’t act now, a year from today you’ll be saying, “If I had started back then, I’d be so much further ahead by now.” Don’t let that happen. I’ve been there—I know that pain.
Especially if you’re in your teenage years, this is your moment. Go try things. Fail. Try again. Learn. And then BOOM—you’ll win.
Why Teenage Years Are the Best Time
I’m a teenager myself, and let me tell you, I have nothing to lose. I don’t have a wife or kids. Nobody is dependent on me. I have time, energy, and hunger—more than I’ll ever have again. If you’re a teenager, realize how lucky you are. This is the best time to start building your empire.
You don’t need money to start. You can start with zero dollars. Look around: YouTube, blogging, coding, building AI tools—these cost nothing but your time and consistency. If you’re not into that, fine. Hit the gym, lift weights, buy books and read them, or learn new skills online for free. You can even learn languages with free apps like Duolingo.
I’m not fluent in Japanese yet, but I’ve built a streak of 215+ days and learned hundreds of words. On day one, I knew nothing. But by giving just a few minutes a day, I’ve gone from zero to actually being able to understand and speak a little. That’s progress. And progress, no matter how small, is everything.
Build Skills That Pay Forever
I don’t get paid for telling you this. I’m not promoting any app. I just want to see you grow. My aim is simple: I want to make you a million-dollar person, not just in money, but in mindset, value, and skills. Because even if someone takes everything away from you, your skills and mindset will rebuild it all. That’s the difference between a loser and a winner.
Increase Your Value
The people who truly make it in life are those who increase their value daily. By learning. By trying. By failing and then getting up again. That’s what separates those who live with purpose from those rich kids who were handed everything but have no direction, no hunger, no fire inside them.
You weren’t born in this time and family by accident. God trusted you enough to give you this exact life, these exact circumstances, because He knows you can build your own empire. You don’t need permission from anyone. You don’t need validation from anyone. And you definitely don’t need to outshine others—you were born to outshine yourself and everyone else naturally, by becoming the best version of you.
Dreams and Choices
If you want to be a doctor, go become one. But don’t force your dreams onto your younger siblings, or worse, onto your children. Everyone has their own dreams. If your child shares the same dream as you, that’s great. But if he wants something different, let him. Guide him, yes, but don’t control him.
However, whatever dream he chooses, make sure he does it at the highest level. If he wants to be a doctor, let him aim to be the best doctor in the entire country. If he wants to be a musician, let him aim to be the greatest of his generation. Whatever you choose for yourself—do it at the topmost level. Play big, never small.
Life Is Not a Video Game
Life is not like a video game. You don’t get three lives here. You get only one. Every decision you make is important. Every good deed you do will come back to you in some form. Every bad deed you do will also come back to you, sooner or later. Karma is real, and it doesn’t forget.
So why not play big? Why not be kind? Why not build something massive? Why not let yourself grow while also helping others grow? If you’ve already climbed the ladder of success, don’t pull it up. Leave it there and extend your hand to help others climb too. That’s how you create legacy. That’s how you create freedom, not just for yourself but for everyone who looks up to you.
The Truth About Big People
The truly great people of the world—the ones who made history, who built empires, who inspired generations—they never made others feel small. In fact, they lifted others up. If someone is making you feel small, know this: they aren’t as big as they pretend to be. Real greatness encourages, inspires, and empowers.
Life isn’t about showing off or proving yourself to others. It’s about using the one chance you’ve got to live without regrets, to maximize your potential, to build something that outlives you.
Final Words
Remember this: you get one shot at life. One. Don’t waste it. Don’t live for the opinions of others. Don’t die with the music still inside you. Start now. Fail now. Learn now. Build now.
Because ten years from now, you’ll either say, “I’m glad I started back then,” or you’ll say, “I wish I had started.” And trust me, that second sentence will burn you inside more than anything else.
You are alive. You are young. You have energy, time, and hunger. Don’t waste it. Go build. Go create. Go fail and rise. Go play big. And one day, when you look back, you’ll smile knowing you didn’t waste your one shot at life.
