Habits

By Dana Bosley

I recently read a riddle which I thought would be a good addition to what I posted in my mid-year review, so I wanted to share it with you here:

Who Am I?
-- Author Unknown

Your best friend or greatest enemy. I am your greatest companion. I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden. I will push you onwards or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might as well turn over to me and I'll do them quickly and correctly. I'm easily managed, but you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and, after a few lessons, I'll do it automatically. I'm the servant of all great men and, alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I work with the precision of a scientist and the passion of a patriot. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet. But be easy with me and I'll destroy you.

Who am I? I am Habit!

If you need help taming and training your habits to help you to become great, I can help you with that. Write me at info@actionvisioncoaching.com to set up a time for a free life strategy session.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
