First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not…Habit is persistence in practice. *Octavia Butler* “Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” *Proverb* “The more severe the pain or illness, the more sever will be the necessary changes. These may involve breaking bad habits, or acquiring some new and better ones.” *Peter McWilliams* “The thought manifests as the word The word manifests as the deed The deed develops into habit And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.” *The Buddha* “Winning is not a sometime thing it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” *Vince Lombardi* Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters. *Nathaniel Emmons* Source: Achieve Your GOALS - The Complete Goal Management System INFORMATION AND EDUCATION SERVICES www.thepdi.com - www.thepdi.com/donaldcarty © Copyright 2005 Personal Development Institute Atlanta, Georgia 30518, USA 1257
