Your habits – your vehicle, how far can it carry you?
One of the most told lies about habit is – “Habit is like colour of your skin, you cannot do without it unless you bleach. I stand (even though I am sitting) here today to tell you that if you are among these class of people, I have a message for you today; our time, this habit of yours will some day turn into your vehicle; how far you go with it is dependent on the quality of your habit (vehicle).
The reality is that habits are like clothes that we put on. We can always change them at will. Note that I said CHANGE and not to get rid of it. What this means is that you cannot do away with a habit without replacing it with our clothes.
If you are invited to party with the president of your country on one condition; that you must change the clothes you are wearing into something else that you feel uncomfortable with, wouldn’t you rather change into something they want you to wear? If you can do this just to see your fellow human being, why can’t you do it for yourself? Have you ever realized that you are a unique person that cannot be replicated in the human history – ever? That means you should be more valued than the president of your country. As far as managing your habit is concerned, you are the NO ONE CITIZEN of your country.
If you can be compelled into doing what you wouldn’t have ordinary done. Remembering that you are the CEO and president of “yourself Ltd”. Then obey the simple instruction that the CEO of “you Ltd” is giving to you today, – CHANGE THAT BAD HABIT OF YOURS. Below are some of the things you can do to change that “bad old vehicle” of yours that can not carry you far.
- LOVE YOURSELF: If loving oneself is not that important, God Himself wouldn’t have admonished us to love our neighbours as ourselves. If you love yourself, you will definitely do yourself good at all time.
- Believe you can change that useless hurtful and shameful habit of yours. Believing in yourself will help boost your self-esteem which in turn give an explosive force to free you from the shackles of BAD HABIT.
- Action: Please don’t procrastinate in doing any of the above. Remember that the best friend of people termed “failure” in life is procrastination.
- Discipline: being disciplined is the tonic that nourishes every self-development programme we engage our self in.
One last phrase I have for you today is to get motivated, stay motivated and get rid of that ‘BAD HABIT’. To your success!
