Habits. They can be our greatest friend or our worst enemy.
I don't know about you but I am always working on one bad habit of mine or another. I have many. It is always a work in progress for me. Experts say that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. Now this is not a long time, we all know how quickly 21 days go by. But when you are trying to change things, 21 days can seem an awful long time. But when I do loose a bad habit? Exhilarating!
THE HABIT
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 as well turn over to me and I will 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 great people, 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 the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.
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 place the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who am I? I am Habit.

My early morning habits are the ones that I would like to change. They are not serving me as well as they could. What one habit would you like to break most today?
