The First Step in Personal Growth is Self Exploration - Know Thyself

Every action you take, every word you speak first starts in your mind.

It does not matter whether those initial thoughts are negative or positive, conscious or subconscious, they control everything about you.

The good news, You have the ability to control those thoughts, every last one of them. This means you have ability to control your actions, and in turn to change how others act toward you. The chain reaction of your actions are the determining factors to the life you live.

Who am I?
I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do, you might just 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 men; and alas, of all great failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great, those that 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 man. 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 place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am Habit.
