Habits are safer than rules; you don’t have to watch them. And you don’t have to keep them either. They keep you. - Frank Crane, 1861 – 1928
It may only reside in me -that wonderful feeling of “look how good I am.” This glow may come from providing an answer correctly when others were stumped. It may come from just a few days on a different diet. It may come from getting up early to go for a long run before coming to work. Regardless of how this feeling arrives, I become full of myself and therein lies the rub. For no sooner have I gained that feeling than I destine myself for the great fall.
Which is why I’m working on changing some of my habits. I like this quotation because it explains how we can change and once we have focused on it, we become the change. It’s not new age. It doesn’t even fall under inspirational. It’s just true. So as I begin my quest to stretch more – such an easy thing for such a little investment of time – I’ll keep this thought in mind. I can change through habits and by staying on course, I’ll become the change. Voila!
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Sincerely,
Bryan Dear
