Habit is one thing that we must intentionally build and if we must build it , it should be a good and positive habit. Because the habits that we develop can make or mar us over time. At times we start it as a simple harmless lifestyle and with time the effects starts showing.
Over the years I have learnt to develop an habit of always completing what ever I started, no matter how tough it may appear to be. Sometimes ago, I started a project , the starting process was smooth and stress free, but at a point the struggle was somehow unbearable, it was difficult, it was financially draining, it was discouraging. At a point I felt like stoping, but I thought to myself, why must I stop half way, how about time , energy and resources that I have already invested into the said project. I had every reason to stop, but I still had more reasons to keep pushing. When ever I remembered that I am trying to build a habit of always finishing what I have started, it give me more confidence to keep pushing.
Procrastination is another habit that I have always tried to avoid. Most times the laziness of wanting to do a particular thing will set in , but knowing that you are fighting against something will help you play your card well just to stay ahead of it.
Learning to appreciate every act of kindness is another habit that I have carefully learn to develop over time. Because I know gratitude open more doors. So when someone shows any act of kindness I try my best to appreciate them and also reciprocate same to the best of my ability.
So there are habit we should all learn to uphold and there are some we should try and do away with.
