I came across a poem the other day.  I remember reading it years ago and how it impacted my thinking.  One intriguing thing about it is that it is anonymous which is appropriate because it is a universal truth with universal consequences.  Chances are you've read it yourself but it bears repeating.  Enjoy and reflect.

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do  

them - quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed -  

you must be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons,

I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of great people,

and alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures,  

I have made failures.

I am not a machine though

I work with the precision of a machine

plus the intelligence of a person.

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 place the world at your feet.

Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

Who am I? I am Habit.

          I love you guys,

God Bless,

Don
