Are your habits stronger than your intention? An interesting collection of words to be sure and they conjure up a host of cognitions. We intend to do the right thing but our habits say just the opposite. We want to be magnanimous but our actions speak only of being miserly. The element of fear is the pebble in the shoe that keeps us from realizing that there is no limit on abundance in fact the more we give the more we receive in return. Not easy grasping on to that notion. We learn from our upbringing that it’s dog eat dog and the only way to get ahead is to go out and take what is rightfully ours and as long as we don’t break any laws its our God given right to garner as much as we can lest the other guy get it first.
We intend to stay sober but our habitual drinking says it’s our right to take our comfort as a reward for the life we struggle with. We would love to exercise and be fit because we know a healthier body is pleasing to look at and functions as it was intended before our habits destroyed what we were given. We don’t want to smoke but the habit is so strong the intention to quit lies just out of reach like the veritable carrot on a stick.
Are our habits stronger than our intention? Unfortunately habits are easy to get into and not out of. Intention however if given enough time at the podium is more than just a speech it’s the new way of life.
