"About 90% of what we do is habitual."
Mohammed Ali was considered the greatest in the field of boxing. Ali won many matches with tough fighters. But what really could have made this black American who grew up in the scare of hatred for his race rise through the ranks to become a successful boxer? He attributed his success in the ring to what American business philosopher Jim Rohn calls pain of discipline. Ali himself said that champions are not made in the ring but through daily consistent practice in moments when no one is watching. I call it habit.
"Practice gives life to automatic actions."
"The more you do something, the more you find it very easy to do it again and again."
Practice gives life to automatic actions. Simply, the more you do something, the more you find it very easy to do it again and again. If you have your New Year resolutions, what will help you taste the fruit of your labour is forming productive habits. Someone said that success is obedience to principles. I say achieving your resolutions will be guaranteed if you obey habits such as reading, thinking and acting. They will expand your mind and nourish new ways of doing things
