Bad Habits are Like a Comfortable Bed

“Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.”


A Habit is a Cable

“A habit is a cable. We weave a thread of it everyday, until finally we cannot break it.”


Make Decisions When Your Spirit is Fresh

“Form the habit of making decisions when your spirit is fresh. To let dark moods lead you is like choosing cowards to command your armies.” – Charles Horton Cooley


I Am Habit

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 of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them – quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed, but you must 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 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 the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.

You may run me for 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.



Thank You!
