Habits Determine Your Future

August 5th, 2009

“For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words” Ecclesiastes 5:3

What is a habit? A habit is repeated behavior. It is something that you do so often that it becomes easy. It is behavior that is repeated enough that it becomes “automatic” behavior. This is a powerful concept to understand. Your actions are a product of how you think as all actions flow from your mind and from thoughts. Habits are those automatic behaviors that have their roots in your thought processes somewhere. Luke 6:45 Understanding the habits are a result of repeated behavior is powerful for you because therein lies your greatest hope and victory for positive change: Reprogram those automatic habits!

Your Habits will Determine Your Future If your automatic behaviors create lack of finances through poor money management then your future will include a life of financial struggle. If your repetitive actions involve eating unhealthy food than your future will include struggling with staying in shape and staying healthy.
The truth is life doesn’t just happen and success is not an accident. Your life and success is a result of your daily habits.

Your Habits Determine Your Quality of Life Your habits will give you predictable results. If you want to improve the quality of your life you must embrace habits that produce quality results. Quality is not an act, but a habit. Negative habits result in negative consequences, successful habits in your life will produce a steady stream of positive rewards.

Changing Habits Takes Time You will turn your negatives into positives by changing your habits now. Change takes an instant to occur and time to mature. Your change goes into effect the moment you choose to change. But it will take some time to see your changes mature to where you can enjoy the fruit of your improvements. Your change will take time because developing success habits takes time. A powerful quote says:
If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, then you will keep on getting what you’ve always got.
