Are Your Habits Serving You Well?

‘I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do you might just as well turn over to me, and I will be able to do them quickly, correctly.

I am easily managed – you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great people; and alas, of all failures as well. Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human being.

You may run me for a profit or turn me for ruin – it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.

Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

Who am I?
I AM HABIT.’

Are your habits serving you? The great thing about habits is that in spite of what we sometimes see to be true, new more useful ones are actually quite easy to create and old unhelpful ones can be let go of in any second.

How would you like to live your life in a more powerful way? You get to choose.
