Helpful habits
A strong, positive character comes from strong, positive habits. Actions you repeat so often you don’t even have to think about, become a solid part of who you are.
Habits can be a retreat from reality and responsibility, slowly but surely wearing you down. Or they can enable you to steadily advance to higher and higher levels of richness and fulfillment.
It all depends on the particular habits you develop and maintain. You can stack your life with helpful habits and prosper, or give in to the harmful habits and falter.
Although your habits exercise powerful control over you, that control is not absolute. You can always add new habits and discard or change existing ones.
From time to time it’s a good idea to honestly examine all the actions you habitually take. Think about every little thing you do through each day, and shine a self-reflective light on it all.
Then continue to build up the habits that serve you well and step away from those that don’t. Life always improves when you get all your habits working in your favor.
— Ralph Marston
