Daily Habits

What are you doing today to act on and fulfill your most significant intention?

Day by day, for better and worse, we create familiar, predictable experiences through the force of our conscious and unconscious habits.

While some habits are quite useful and necessary for survival and advancement, other habits never had much merit or have long-since outlived their original purpose.

Since habits develop through repetition, your most entrenched habits are those you have reinforced through years of practice.

Once entrenched and reinforced through daily repetition, these familiar habits tend to limit your perspective and narrow your prospects for breakthrough in future experiences and performance.

If you truly expect to realize something new or different this year, I encourage you to choose a new or different daily habit or practice.

Your future begins, today.

It will be a perfect expression of what you seek and how you choose to live.

Get up early simply to enjoy the sunrise.

Pause every day at the noon hour to give thanks for your many blessings.

Try to see and understand the world from the perspective of a person with whom you rarely or never agree.

Go out for a sixty minute walk with no specific destination – simply keep on walking wherever your spirit may take you.
