There is no absolute guarantee that these habits will lead you to be a millionaire, but they probably send you in the right direction. Supposedly it takes 66 days to form a positive habit, and becoming a millionaire depends on the person, their drive, and circumstances. I honestly feel that each of us here are in an amazing set of circumstances to achieve that goal, whether it's your goal or not. 

After seeing this I have been thinking a lot about my daily habits and how they affect the outcomes of my days. The time that I am spending doing one thing is taking away from something else that may be a more positive action. This works in the other direction, also, so there are habits that keep you away from negative actions too.

These habits each come down to a small decision that you make during your day. Which reminds me in a roundabout way that every minute of our time is invaluable. Once time is gone it can't be brought back. We should fill our time with things that are worthwhile and better the lives of ourselves and those around us. So, I am thinking.... let's follow these habits, use them to make SlideBelts a more successful place and ourselves as well.  

It was late September, the weather had been a bit chilly, but the sun was shining. I was hiking to the Minarets in the Sierra Nevadas and all was going well. The elevation of these peaks tops out at about 12,000 feet, so I packed as lightly as I could. I knew at this elevation that snow would be present near the top, but the forecast said sunny skies.

As you may have guessed, the weather took a turn on the first night and I was not prepared. As it began to snow, I quickly began to panic; then after a bit of cursing the heavens at the top of my lungs, I collected myself and built a makeshift shelter and a quick fire near a tree and slept a terrible nights sleep.

But that morning was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever experienced. The land had been transformed and the snow glowed in effervescent shades of pinks and oranges as the sun peaked over the mountains. The fear and discomfort an afterthought as the new day began.

Whenever I take a trip or start any new endeavor, I often find myself wildly unprepared. To be honest, this happens much more often than I would like to admit, but as the Backcountry has taught me, this is life and all we can do is adapt. And more often than not, as we take on these challenges we did not plan for, we find ourselves in a much better place than we began.
