In the fast-paced world of today, success often requires more than just talent or luck; it demands consistent habits that can lead to sustained growth and achievement. Sree Krishna Seelam, a dynamic leader and founder of the WeDidIT Foundation, embodies this philosophy. In his book ‘5 Killer Habits: BE A REBEL’ he discusses five habits that’ll transform you, uplift your lifestyle, change you’re perspective, empower you, you’ll grow as a person (they may or may not increase your height.)

Transforming your life can sound as daunting as trying to find a matching sock in a laundry basket full of chaos! But fear not! Once you know them (and put efforts of course) these are going to be your new best friends.

So, by now you must be eager to know, what are those 5 habits? 1. Arise, Awake and KICKASS

First one being uh Discipline, it often feels more like torture than a trait to aspire. Choosing to wake up at 5 a.m. for that study session before class? Sure, until your bed starts whispering sweet nothings and begs you to cuddle just five more minutes. Oh, how easily we give in! But now imagine waking up every morning like a pro athlete, ready to take on the day with unwavering focus. No snoozing, no excuses – just a crazy will to conquer your goals. Welcome to the world of discipline as a habit! It may not roll off the tongue as easily as “pizza” or “nap time,” but when you treat it like the fun-loving buddy, you'll realize it’s not just a habit—it’s the key to coloring the lines of your own life!

2. Be A HERO

Real heroes spend their time, energy, and sometimes even their lives for other people, all while managing to avoid wearing capes—because let’s be honest, they just get in the way during a good sprint to safety! They remind us how important it is to give back to others. Just look at Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi; they didn’t just show us that being a hero is about being selfless and brave, but also that you can achieve greatness without needing a superhero costume (though a well-timed dramatic entrance wouldn't hurt). Take Aitzaz Hasan, a 14-year-old boy from Pakistan, who defined true heroism by sacrificing his life to save around 2000 of his classmates and teachers from a suicide bomber. Now that’s some next-level bravery—definitely more than I could muster when my little brother stole the last cookie! Volunteering for a cause is one such way we can contribute to the community and protect the planet, preferably without needing a sidekick. This chapter is going to make you question your actions—What are you doing to help others?

3. Live a Hundred Lives

Reading is an important habit that everyone should acquire—even if your only intention is to look smart at coffee shops! It enriches our imagination, broadens our perspective, and enhances our observational and articulation skills. It's like going to the gym for our brains, but instead of sweating over a treadmill, we’re sweating over what happens when Harry meets Sally! Through reading, we gain insights into different viewpoints, which fosters empathy and a deeper understanding of others. This ability equips us to discuss complex issues with confidence—although trying to explain quantum physics at a dinner party might still leave your friends nodding politely while plotting an escape. Specifically, reading nonfiction books can be pretty fruitful—unless you’re reading the one entitled “How to Avoid Reading Books,” which might just lead you in circles. Furthermore, reading promotes critical thinking. In a world where propaganda can easily sway opinions, an informed reader can see beyond biases and recognize that conflicts often stem from differences rather than hostility. This awareness cultivates a more nuanced understanding of global issues and might even help you win an argument about why pineapple belongs on pizza or not (spoiler: it’s totally subjective!). So grab a book—your brain will thank you.

4. Stay CURIOUS

Curiosity is fundamental for rational thinking and discovering the truth, especially in an era rife with fake news and misinformation. We must hold religious leaders, influencers, and officials accountable by asking critical questions like "why" and "how," rather than accepting their statements without scrutiny. It's essential to seek credible sources and apply common sense in our evaluations. The true objective of any belief system should resonate with its purpose. If the methods or outcomes do not reflect that purpose, they likely diverge from God's true intention. Remember, questioning established norms isn't an act of rebellion; it’s like double-checking if your GPS is set to "take the fastest route" and not "detour through the Bermuda Triangle." It's a vital journey toward truth and understanding—without the need for a life jacket!

5. Become a Dromomaniac

Solo traveling is a powerful avenue for personal growth and self-discovery. When you travel alone, you step out of your comfort zone and embrace new experiences—kind of like trying that exotic dish on the menu that you can’t spell, but your adventurous spirit pushes you to order it anyway! It pushes you to interact with diverse cultures and people, broadening your perspective about the world. The solitude allows for deep reflection and self-rejuvenation, where you can truly ponder life’s big questions—like why you thought packing five pairs of shoes for a weekend trip was a good idea. Each journey becomes an opportunity to learn more about yourself, build confidence, and create lasting memories, making solo travel not just about exploring new places, but also about nurturing your own identity—while dodging tourist traps and figuring out how to take a decent selfie without a second pair of hands!
