We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
John Dryden

We must exercise our will and self-discipline to incorporate good habits into our lives. We may underestimate the incredible power our habits have to influence us in the futurre. Habits lead to automaticity so that we are able to carry out the habit without expending a great deal of emotional energy. Oswald Chambers enjoins us, “The right thing to do with habits is to lose them in the life of the Lord, until every habit is so practised that there is no conscious habit at all” (My Utmost for His Highest, May 12).

What positive habits are you installing in your life so that you can be the person you always wanted to be? If you want what few others have, then you must be willing to do what few others do.

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13)
