If habits are stepping stones, their choice should be
the outcome of reality’s and targets’ cognitive approach. Acharya Rajneesh once
proclaimed that “I am less interested in your chain-smoking but more interested
in your habit. Any habit that becomes a force, a dominating force over you, is
a great sin. One should therefore live more in freedom. One should be able to
do things according to the situations but not according to the habits”.
1. Control Your Thoughts
If you don't learn to control your thoughts or
opinions, you will never learn to control your behaviour and if you don’t learn
to control your behaviour, you will never be able to build good habits. Habit
creates the appearance of justice and progress has no bigger enemy than habit.
2. Change your thoughts & Actions
If you want to replace the bad habits with the good
one, you have to change your actions, thoughts, habits and start doing small
things differently every day. Habit change happens when you start with small
things. Moreover, if you want to build courage, then simply act courageously.
If you do something over and over again, you build a habit. Some people develop
the habit of courage whereas some people develop the habit of non-courage.
3. Don’t Play a Victim
People who consider themselves as a victim will
rarely produce positive result. Instead you must utilise the given
opportunities and turn out the difficulties into a driving force to make
yourself and the world better. Mind control is the result of self-discipline
and habit. You either control your mind or the mind controls you. There is no
half way compromise.
4. Be Practical
And at last, you realize that you can't force
loyalty, consistency, or even honesty.
You can't force them to keep their word, or to communicate, or to
realize something special is right in front of them. You can’t make someone to
put up a fight for your heart or change his/her own ways. Take a step back and
reflect if your relationship has turned into battlefield of harsh words, mixed
emotions, and constant bickering, you must ask yourself whether it’s worth
anymore.
It is estimated that up to 90% of our daily
activities are habits. If you want to improve your time management, then you
need to improve your habits. Never ever allow
‘waiting’ to become your habit. Be fearless, live your dreams and take risks.
Life is happening now and if you wait you tend to lose time. You are not
required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm. Remember your first
duty is to ‘Yourself’ but it doesn’t mean that you have to be selfish. But it
is necessary to be strong, capable and competent so that you can help others
too.
The act of discovering who we are, will force us to
accept that we can move further than we think. Success is nothing but a few
simple disciplines, practiced every day, while failure is simply a few errors
in judgment, repeated everyday.
Always be yourself, respect yourself and have faith
in yourself. Ensure to make plans and organize your discipline, thoughts, and
devote attention to detail for creating something worthwhile but not for
criticizing your own self. Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get
away with screwing people throughout your whole life. Don't care about others
identity, or what all the problems he/she undergoes around. Sooner or later the
universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.
Motivation is what gets you started, and habit is what keeps you
going. It’s quite important to keep moving. There is a powerful driving force inside
every human being that once unleashed can make any dream, vision or desire a
reality.
Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Either way it is all
about your choice. So choose the right habits that enrich your lifestyle!!
