Who am I?
I am your constant companion, I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.
Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well Turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done. After a few lessons, I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great people And the regret 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 but I will work with all its precision Plus the intelligence of a person.
Now you may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin. It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will lay the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who Am I?
I am called Habit!

Great post. Don’t forget what Aristotle said… "Excellence is not an act but a habit."
