If there’s ever going to be change in our world, the habits in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the individual habits aren’t providing beneficial results…
A mind develops habits to do certain things and it will do just that whether you want it to or not; it has to do what habits it has developed. Our mind becomes habitual the same way an operating system works and unless it’s changed or at least upgraded to some degree, the habits will remain. It’s imperative to understand this so first the habits in place can be identified and second so the habits that may not be serving you in the most beneficial way can be changed. Habits ran my life for many years and most were of a self-serving nature. And after a long period of time (forty nine years to be exact), I realized these habits weren’t really benefitting me or anyone else for that matter. This realization is the beginning stages for the possibility of the habits to change. This will take some effort because of how ingrained the habits are, but the effort is more of an awareness than an actual exertion.
Once one becomes aware there may be another way to live, the process of changing the habits in place has begun. This is difficult because the original habits want to hold onto the familiar even if it’s not providing much of benefit. It’s how the dog chasing its tail syndrome remains in place; even at the point of its own destruction. Habits have many tools and influences to do this, some inner, some outer. This is why when a person acts in a particular way, they are more accountable than responsible for what they do. If anything is ever going to change in our world, the habits in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the habits although doing what it they were designed to do, aren’t providing the most beneficial results…
