Greetings!
One thing that is thriving in the midst of the people most especially in our society is what is known as bad habit. Like I used to tell those that are around me, what we see as normal in our society in this present time is those things that are bad, I mean the bad habit and whenever someone acts in a normal way, we see them as doing the bad thing.
Bad habits are so prevalent in our society and in the life of everyone one of us that it's now hard and difficult for us to deal with it. So, in the prompt before me today, I would like to discuss with us, my once bad habit and how I was able to overcome it and set myself free from it.
Before now, my major bad habit was that of procrastination which is to delay things till another day. This habit which I see as a bad habit and not only that, but a cankerworm really affected my growth in life as I lost so many opportunities to this bad habit of mine.
I could remember a contract I lost due to procrastination. A client of mine who is an engineer called me and asked me to supply 100tons of granite and due to the fact that I didn't have the price list with me, I promised to call him later in the day, but instead of me to swing into action immediately, I delayed it till another four days and after the fourth day, I tried to call the man after I had did the calculation, but you know what, the man told me not to bother myself again and that was how I lost the big opportunity to the cankerworm called procrastination.
This lost really pained me so much and for that reason, I decided to turn a new leaf and by so doing, I changed my way of life from being a procrastinator to a proactive person and that has really helped me to become a new person entirely with much success attached to it for me. Although I'm not there yet, I believe with time I will get there.
In conclusion, that bad habit I had once dealt with was procrastination, but now, I have embraced proactiveness and this has really helped me to achieve more in life.
Thanks for reading.
