"We Are Habit!!"

February 19, 2015


Habit: 1. an acquired pattern of behavior that has become almost involuntary as a result of frequent repetition.  2. customary practice or use.  3. a particular practice, custom, or usage;  4. a dominant or regular character or tendency; addiction, mental character or disposition.

"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 you 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 men; 

and, 

alas, 

of all failures, as well.  

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 man.  

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 You.  

I Am Habit!"
