"Station Museum of Contemporary Art announces in(di)visible; an exhibition examining immigration, the residual effects of war, and the implications of assimilation, integration, and invisibility for Asian Americans. From the intergenerational trauma of war and the impossibility of articulating what is lost between generations to the legacy of federal policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first law implemented to prevent a specific ethnic group from immigrating to the United States, and Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which authorized the forced relocation and incarceration of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese descent, 62 percent of which were United States citizens...."

​Make a list of five people you respect, who have achieved success. Invite each of them to coffee, lunch or a meeting. Take a notebook and ask them questions about their journey to success. 

The Successful Habit Formula

You now have a list of your "Bad" habits that produce negative consequences, now you want to create "Successful" habits to produce positive benefits and rewards. Do the opposite.

Example: Bad Habit: No savings for the future . Consequences: Can't retire, no freedom of choice
Successful New Habit: Invest 10% of every dollar I earn. 
                                       Benefits: Debt free, financial independence

YOUR HABITS DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE - START TODAY FOR A NEW TOMORROW.
 summarized from The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Hewitt
