Habits


Habits they say are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly which tend to occur subconsciously, without directly thinking consciously about them.

It’s quite important to know that we are creatures of habit. As a matter of fact, most of the things we do in life are habitual; we do the same things we did yesterday, the day before and every day for the last month. It’s estimated that out of every 11,000 signals we receive from our senses, our brain only consciously processes 40!

You decide your habits; your habits determine your character and your character determine your destiny!

If indeed we are creatures of habits and our destiny is influenced by our habits, then we should examine our current habits and deliberately cultivate habits that are helpful for our future. Leaving our habits to chance could be injurious to our future.

The major difference between a successful person and a failure is their Habit. Good habits are usually not easy to form but they are easy to leave with while bad habits are easy to form but are difficult to live with, breaking a counter productive bad habit could be a challenge

In essence, is important to think through and fish out the bad habits you have and ask yourself; are these habits helping me or not? …if the habit is not helpful then it is hurtful.

It is also important to know that you just don’t drop bad habits; it’s easier when you override them with good habits!

…to be continued
