BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY THAN MOST PEOPLE… because “Those who do what others don’t [not can't] reap the rewards.” (Words in the parentheses added.)
The best way to apply this quote is to think about what most people do, which is form bad habits that shackle them from experiencing life to the fullest and living with power, focus, and intention. So, let’s go over what most people do… so we can identify how to behave differently.
- Most people don’t do something to the best of their ability, but settle for the mediocre, telling themselves “perfectionism isn’t healthy.”
- Most people don’t take criticism well, they get defensive.
- Most people don’t take compliments well, even when they look and act like they are: they let their inner voice interfere instead.
- Most people procrastinate and don’t do the most important thing first.
- Most people don’t focus, follow through, and finish the task on hand.
- Most people don’t know their limits and don’t know their potential, because they have never gone far beyond their excuses, their voice of mediocrity that they took to be the “voice of reason.”
- Most people don’t wake up happy.
- Most people don’t think about the other person first.
- Most people don’t try to be agreeable or understanding, but try to be right.
- Most people don’t compliment others at every chance, but will notice, judge, and make fun of other people’s mistakes, errors, and misdirected behaviors, even if just in their minds.
- Most people think they are more special somehow than everyone else with whom they interact.
- Most people won’t change their habits after reading this.
Do the little things that make you different and big progress will happen.
To your success and happiness!

Misheel, I love the last “most people…” Very awesome.
I would make a note that “perfectionism isn’t healthy”; it is much more healthy to just focus on the task at hand. Just do that one thing you are doing now… do that well.
