"We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." — John Dryden —
Habits begin and manifest deep in the mind and they can be friends or foes. Good habits can make our lives easier, helping us to do the more mundane things of life without thinking about them, like automatically depositing your paycheck.
But, as all of us know all too well, habits can also be destructive…to our health, to our finances, to our relationships. It's why we struggle with losing weight, paying off our credit cards or quitting smoking…to name a few "bad habits."
Whether they are a positive force in our lives or obstacles to the goals we want to achieve, habits become ingrained through repeated actions.
Food for Thought… I am your constant companion. I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
machine and the intelligence of a person.
Learn the 10 steps to building good habits for success in your personal and professional life in 2012!
