| Dear John, “The fastest way to success is to replace a bad habit with a good habit.” I loved the stories my dad would tell me. They were often funny and most of the time had a profound point. One time he shared with me about a man who went to see his doctor. In the examining room the doctor asked: Doc - “So, why are you here?” Man - “I hurt all over and I don’t know what’s wrong.” Doc - “What do you mean?” Man - “When I tap here (touching his forehead) it hurts. When I tap here (touching his belly) it hurts. When I tap here (touching his knee) it hurts. Doc, no matter where I touch, it hurts. What’s wrong with me?” Doc - “You have a broken finger.” Dad would break into a big smile just before the punchline. Question: What is your broken finger? What bad habit is causing you pain? The number one lesson I learned from Dad was pretty simple. Choose your input. When I talk with people who are struggling there is one thing almost all of them have in common - they are allowing negative input into their lives, and they are not choosing the input that will help them become who God created them to become. Today is your day. Choose to replace the bad habit of negative input with the good habit of positive input. This simple choice will transform your life! Choose to Win! Tom Ziglar P.S.
