Monday Morning Mojo – The Power of Habit

Be the first to comment on this post

This is a powerful thought, and I hope you will reflect on it, as you fine tune your business plans for 2012:

 THE POWER OF HABIT

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 completely at your command.
Half the things you do you might as well turn over to me,
And I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely 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 all great individuals
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 all the precision of a machine
Plus the intelligence of a human being.
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
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

I am habit!

Nothing gives you the “warm fuzzies” like a homemade gift, and what better time to pop by with something special than the Christmas season!  Pick one of your favorites recipes, prepare enough for those on your sphere list and attach the recipe to the container.  Your clients are sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Marketing can customize your recipe card for little cost, as well!
