The founder of one of the world's most successful companies said,
'The individual who wants to reach the top must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him, and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires'.
This is true in all of life. A dream becomes a reality as the result of your actions, and your actions are controlled mainly by your habits.
Speaker and author Robert Ringer says,
'The world is saturated with intelligent, highly educated, extraordinarily skilled people who experience ongoing frustration because of their lack of success. Millions of others spend their lives working hard, long hours, only to die penniless.'What's the solution?
Ringer says:
'Remember, life is nothing more than the sum total of many successful years; a successful year is nothing more than the sum total of many successful months; a successful month is nothing more than the sum total of many successful weeks; a successful week is nothing more than the sum total of many successful days. That's why practising successful habits, day in and day out, is the most certain way to win over the long term.'You have to take a realistic look at yourself to know where your habits are taking you.
If your habits don't line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream.
If you want to hold on to your dream, then be prepared to change your habits, because a bad habit never goes away by itself.SoulFood: Heb 9:1 - 11:16, Matt 14:22-36, Ps 5, Pro 5:1-2
