The 5 Bad Habits That Silently Kill Your Dreams [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] !


Episode #125 -


Hello đź‘‹ Reader !

You don’t ruin your life in one big moment.

It happens slowly. Quietly.
Through repeated small decisions…
One missed workout. One extra snooze. One late-night scroll.
And before you know it, your best self has drifted out of reach.

This week, let me share 5 Hacks How To Break Bad Habits and How I applied it in my life:

​


Hack #1 Create a Challenge With Friends or Family

Most people try to quit bad habits alone. That’s where they fail.
When you turn it into a fun group challenge — with rules, points, and penalties — the game changes.

Example:​
During the lockdown, people created family WhatsApp challenges to quit sugar or build routines — and many succeeded because they showed up together.

How I applied it:​
When I started my 5 AM routine, I didn’t do it alone. I looped in with my mastermind. We shared our wake-up time daily. That small habit of daily check-ins rewired us — as a group.


Hack #2. Be Accountable Daily – Post Proof

If you can’t track it, you won’t change it.
Posting proof of your daily wins — even something as small as a made bed or a power hour selfie — reinforces identity. It tells your brain, “I’m someone who follows through.”

Example:​
LinkedIn is filled with professionals posting before-after photos — not for likes, but to lock in discipline.

How I applied it:​
In 2017, I was running events with 10–15 people. But I still showed up dressed sharp, posted photos, celebrated the effort. That ritual made me value consistency more than numbers. That mindset has built everything I have today.


Hack #3. Learn to Say NO

This one’s tough. But crucial.
Most bad habits are born out of emotional guilt or social pressure.

Saying “no” — politely, firmly — is a superpower.

Example:​
You don’t want to order food, but your group insists. You don’t want to drink, but everyone else is. One weak “yes” becomes a pattern.

How I applied it:​
I once skipped a high-profile Mumbai event that clashed with my family time and early morning commitments. Saying no wasn’t easy, but it felt aligned. And I’ve never regretted protecting what truly matters.


Hack #4. Think Long-Term – Practice Delayed Gratification

Short-term dopamine is the killer of long-term success.
Most bad habits are pleasure-driven. But discipline is future-driven.

Example:​
Choosing to invest instead of impulse spending. Reading instead of binge-watching. Eating clean over junk.

How I applied it:​
In 2016, I had the choice: restart my CA practice and earn quickly… or go all in on Think And Grow Rich Academy with zero guarantees. I chose long-term purpose over short-term panic. That decision changed my life.


Hack #5. Have a Burning Desire

You don’t eliminate bad habits by fighting them.
You replace them with a purpose so big, they automatically dissolve.

Example:​
Olympians don’t get distracted by junk or laziness. Not because they’re perfect — but because their mission is bigger than their cravings.

How I applied it:​
When I became certified by the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I had one desire — bring these principles to India in the most powerful way. That burning purpose helped me reject distractions, excuses, and mediocrity.


ACTION STEP:​
↳Pick one bad habit you’ve been struggling with.
↳Choose one hack from above and apply it today.
↳The first small win can create unstoppable momentum.

Episode #135 - Hello 👋 Reader ! Every time I hear these words by Jagjit Singh, I pause.Because somewhere between growing up and growing old…we forgot what it means to truly live. This takes me back to a time when happiness didn’t need a reason.A time when a good rain, a paper boat, or a game with friends was enough to make the day perfect.When we didn’t chase goals — we chased butterflies.When success meant being chosen first in the cricket team,and not first in the quarterly leaderboard....

Episode #134 - Hello 👋 Reader ! There was a phase in my life when I worked endlessly.Early mornings. Late nights. No breaks. I believed that the harder I worked, the more successful I would become.Until life taught me a humbling truth — hard work alone doesn’t make you rich. Because rich people don’t just work hard for their money.They make their money work hard for them. That shift in thinking changed everything for me. When I started studying Think and Grow Rich, I began to see a clear...

Episode #133 - Hello 👋 Reader ! 💡 “Sidharth, how do you speak in front of thousands of people without freezing or forgetting your words?” I get asked this almost every time I step off stage.And here’s the truth — whether I’m speaking to 10 people in a Tier-3 town or 3,000 people in a metro auditorium… I still feel the sweaty palms, the butterflies, the racing heartbeat. But what I’ve learned from my mentors — and from my own journey — is this: fear can be transformed into fuel. Here are 5...
