Good habits, Bad Habits

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny."

~Unknown



Poem Artwork

 

Some habits must be controlled or not encouraged at all

 

Others must be nourished for they help a man walk tall

The funny thing I have noticed is that good habits can be hard to make

While bad habits, sadly are even harder to break

A man needs to make himself aware of what he supposes

For his character is made up of those things he supports and those he opposes

Take time each day to scrutinize why you do what you do

For these things are vivid reflections of why you are you

Do not be afraid to examine your habits be they bad or good inclinations

For the trends you demonstrate become part of your predestination

Nurture those routines that are positive and of good moral fiber

Dissuade those habits that are unconstructive and damaging to your character

This one is hard to chew but sound advise & good write. I think my toes are going to hurt for awhile because as Paul said, the things I don't want to do, I do; oh wreched man am I"-ha. Good write.
Peace&Grace,
