HABITS FOR ACHIEVERS
The secret to success often lies in what you do daily, what you do repeatively, what you do over and over and over again. Habits create focus with excellence. Habits are the rails on the steps to success.
A habit is something you do so often, so repetively that it comes to you like breathing, with almost no thought process involved. It becomes intertwined in your lifestyle. It becomes a part of who you are.
“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” —traditional saying
Daily habits become the laser focus of excellence.
Jesus Christ had habits. Luke 4:16 says: “So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.”
Our minds can be deceitful. (Jeremiah 17:9) Habits have to be cultivated, worked on and prioritized!
Significant life changes can be yours through the cultivation of habits! Sustained focus is stronger than will power!!!!
The Spirit of God is our HELPER! Make a commitment right now to be a person disciplined in habits that create focus for success!
Here’s a powerful statement on habits! Sorry, I could not find the author’s name!
WHO AM I?
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 might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and 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 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 human.
You may run me for a 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.
