Subconscious Mind & HabiT

                                                ...... Subconscious Mind & HabiT......










We are all born to lead successful lives but our conditioning leads us to failure. We are born to win but
are conditioned to lose. We often hear statements like, this person is just lucky , he touches dirt and it turns to gold or, he is unlucky, no matter what he touches, it turns to dirt. This is not true. If you analyze, the successful person is doing something right in each transaction and the failure is repeating the same mistake in each transaction. Remember, practice does not make perfect.
Only perfect practice makes perfect. practice makes permanent whatever you do repeatedly. Some people keep practicing their mistakes and they become perfect in them. So their mistakes become perfect and automatic.
 
Professionals make things look easy become they have mastered the  fundamentals of whatever they do .Many people do good work with promotions in mind. but the one to whom good work become a habit is deserving. Cultivating a habit is like plowing the field.
It takes times. It has to grow from within. Habit  generate other habits. Inspiration is what gets a person started, motivation is what keeps him on track and habit is what makes it automatic. The ability  to show courage in the face of adversity; show self-restraint in the face of temptation; choose happiness in the face of hurt ; show character in the face of despair ; 

see opportunity in the face of obstacles. These traits are not coincidence ; they are the result of constant and consistent training , both mental and physical. In the face of adversity our behavior can only we have practiced, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. When we practice negative traits such as cowardice or dishonesty in small events, hoping to handle the major ones in a positive way, the latter wouldn't happen because that is not what we have practiced.

When we permit ourselves to tell a lie once, it is a lot easier to do it a second and third time until it becomes a habits. Success lies in the philosophy of  sustain and abstain. Sustain what needs to be done and abstain from what is detrimental until this becomes habitual. Human beings are more emotional than rational. Honesty and integrity are both the result of our belief and becomes a habits.
A person who is honest most of the time gets caught the first time he tell a lie. Whereas a person who is dishonest most of the time gets caught the first time he tells the truth. Honesty and dishonesty to self and others both become habits. 

Our thinking pattern become habitual. we from habits and habits from character. Before you realize that you have got the habit, the habit has got you. We need to form the habit of thinking right. 
Someone once said, " Our thought lead of actions, actions lead to habits, and habit  from character." Character leads to destiny.

Form Good Habit

Most or our behavior is habitual. It comes automatically without thinking. character is the sum total of our habits. If a person has positive habit's then he is considered a positive character. A person with negative habit's is a negative character. habits are a lot stronger than logic and reasoning. Habits start by being too weak to be felt, and end up becoming too strong to get out of. Habits can be developed by default or determination. I remember as a child my parents telling me, " You should form good habits because habits form character. 

How Do We Form Habits ?

Anything we do repeatedly becomes a habits. We learn by doing. By behaving courageously, we learn courage. By practicing honesty and fairness, we learn these traits. By practicing these traits, we master them, similarly if we practice negative traits such as dishonesty, unjust behavior, or lack of discipline , that is what we become good at. Attitudes are habits. They are behavior patterns. They become a state of mind and dictate our responses.  

How Do We Get Conditioned ?

Think of the might elephant who can lift in excess of a ton of weight with just it's trunk. How do they condition the elephant to stay in one place with a weak rope and a stake ? The elephant, when it is a baby, is tied to a strong chain and a strong tree. The baby is weak but the chain and tree are strong. The baby is not used to being tied. So it keeps tugging and pulling the chain, all in vain. A day comes when it realizes that all the tugging and pulling will not help. 

It stopes and stands still. Now it is conditioned. And when the baby elephant becomes the mighty giant elephant, he is tied with a weak rope and a small stake. The elephants could, with one tug, walk away free, but it goes nowhere, because it has been conditioned.

Human beings are constantly being conditioned, consciously or unconsciously ,by exposure To :--

* The Kind of  book read;
* The Kind of  movies and TV programs we watch ;
* The Kind of  music we listen to;
* The kind of company we keep.

While driving to work, if we listen to the same music every day for several day's and if the tape deck breaks down, guess what tune we will be humming? Insanity is deferent  
results. If you keep doing what you have been doing, you will keep getting  what you have gotten. The most difficult thing about changing a habit is unlearning what is not working and learning positive habits.
