Habit

Brian Tracy states the Law of Habit as: - “In the absence of a specific decision on your part to change some aspect of your life, the natural tendency will be to go on the same way indefinitely. Ninety-five percent of what we do is habit.”

You can create a new habit by just repeating an activity over and over again for approximately 21 days

An explanation of habit by way of a poem

I am your constant companion
I am your greatest helper or your 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 them over to me,
and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly
I am easily managed; you must 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 men
And, alas, of all failures as well
Those who are great, I have made great
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 man
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world
at your feet
be easy with me, and I will destroy you
Who am I?
I am a HABIT!

From Michelangelo
The greater danger
for most of us
is not that our aim is
too high
and we miss it,
but that it is
too low
and we reach it.

How often do we set our sights to low? How often do we ask is this target worthy of my time and effort, instead we tend to say am I worthy of this target.

Happiness The purpose of my life is to be happy! My own mental attitude Is the most important influence in my life, working with peace, joy and success. I now choose to be happy! I choose to be free. I think for myself. I allow The Infinite to guide me in all that I do.

I have the right to any happiness, which I can conceive, provided that it hurts no one and is in keeping with the nature of Divine Law. I know I must change the conditions within myself to change the outer conditions in my life. I now live with inner peace and know that I can face all challenges with calm and reason because I think happy thoughts. As Peter Pan said.. .. .

“With just one happy thought, I can fly”

from the book “Conversations on Money, Sex and Spirituality with Wilma & Michele.

Happiness is found in Doing Not merely in Possessing
