From Days of Healing Days of Joy Sept. 26th
I formed my habits, and my habits formed my future ...............J. T.
Practice makes perfect.
Whether it's playing the piano or makiing mountains out of molehills, if we practice it long enough, we get good at it. That's what habits are - proficiencies born of practice. Habits may be conscious or unconscious, healthy or unhealthy, attractive or repulsive, important or trivial.
Our habits form our future, Just as a train is directed by the rails it rolls on, our lives are directed by our habits. Unless we build new rails or habits, our lives will continue to move toward the same old places on the same old rails. How could it be any other way?
Habits are powerful - mostly because they're too deep to be visible. But they're there and operating all the time. We need to be aware of what our habits are. Every confrontation with an unfriendly habit is a singular victory. Every time we lay a new foot of trrack in a different direction we affect the quality of our future. Every time counts.
