"The chains of habit are usually too small to be felt
until they are too strong to be broken!"~
Samuel Johnson
"We first make our habits
Then our habits make us"--John Dryden
"Habit is either the best of servants
Or the worst of masters"--Nathaniel Emmons
I love to play in water
My sign pisces (dual fish;)
May answer for some of why
And yet, I love to play in sky
All kinds of music makes me sing
To some I'll dance, I love to swing
In fact I love to do most anything
Because of that I fall prey to habits
I never do anything in pieces and bits
My problem comes from overdoing
With some things I like, I get grooving
I'm an over achiever in some peoples eyes
Which makes them think I'm not so wise
But all of that stuff is old news, I quit
I turned my habits over to my inner spirit
What I am, is a lover of Christ's Salvation
I replaced habits with Creator's Creation
All the bad addictions I had before
Have been replaced can exist no more
I drank and drugged and loved too much
Until I made my habit Creator's touch
So I can heartily recommend a change of habit
Is awaiting anyone who chooses to grab it
Note: The best way to deal with habits is to replace the bad ones with good ones,leaving no room for the bad to come back.

Thank you for sharing. Love the quotes too and advice!
To beat the habit of craving and clinging is the drama of many lives ~ if not all, at some stages.
Love, Suzie xox :-D

good responses from your flock ;)

Overachieving is certainly relative and only reflects the passion that drives some people to do better than expected.
I have never considered those that press into new territories of thought, and the expression of perception, as being unwise . . . quite the contrary.
These, I believe, are the pioneers that compel others to break free from their daily cycles, and gnarled lethargies, to become what most only dream about becoming.
You rock sister!
