A Plan Let's talk about

Habit

Good habit is great isn’t it?

If you keep doing it, it’ll lead you to a successful conclusion.

The problem then comes when there is a bad habit. So by definition, if you keep doing that also, you will succeed.

Think of it. If you keep doing something bad, you will succeed.

Now, have you considered the meaning of the word itself.

HABIT comes from HAB, part of the Latin word habeo meaning to have.

HABIT also comes from the Latin word habitare meaning to live.

Someone who has a drug habit for example, really has it and lives there!

Consider also some of the synonyms of the word habit: pattern, way, matter of course, rule.

People are not merely acting in a particular way, they are also in possession of it. In possession of the ingredient that allows whatever situation it is, to exist and to continue to exist. Continue to exist forever, if need be.

So next time a friend of yours becomes hooked on a bad habit, pray for them also. They need more than your help.

The idea here is for someone out there to make an observation about this topic and give it serious thought. Serious enough we hope, that will lead to a different set of actions or behavior.

Neurological pathways can be created in all brains along which behaviors run. A habit then, can become a character.

Consider this. When you go to your place of habitation, that is: where you live, there are many intricacies that make that safe place possible. Do you have a spouse that loves you and draws you near at least every evening if not during the day. Do you have children at home that bring a smile to your face and make demands on you even if ever so cute.

“Welcome home honey”: says your darling wife.

“Yo dad, take a look at what I made in school today”: is the usual from daughter or son.

“Home sweet home.” Isn’t that what you’re thinking? At least most of the time, right?

Did you know that an image of any kind can act like a physical object sometimes, depending on the state or intent of mind?

Now you know why your dear friend – the one from high school I mean, can’t get off of it. Can’t or won’t get off of that bad habit, because he or she actually lives there. They go home to it not just mentally, but physically too!

Dude, who are you kidding? This is the truth!

You know what I’m talking about and if you don’t, now you do.

I guess you’re thinking that this is just a play on the words. Yes it is, but the idea is to bring you to a new understanding of the problem. After you understand something, then hopefully a solution can be forth coming.

The solution may even come from you to help someone else.

Who me?

Yes, my friend You.

Hopefully you will no longer brush aside the addicts who just can’t or won’t stop.

We do not want to condone such bad actions of course, but for us to Stop now and Again to rethink this.

Set your Mind

We can never hear it enough.

Hear what?

Hear how to be successful. What is success? Success is the completion of your worthwhile goal.

Remember. Your goal! 

We are hoping that this time, maybe someone will resonate with you and be the spark to get you started or to keep you going. In many cases you know what you want, but may have hit a snag in your life that may derail you, if you are not encouraged by someone else. Here are two ladies whose belief in God is a factor they will tell you is important to them, and hopefully to you also.

Rachel Quist, is currently a college student expecting to receive a degree in 2016. She hopes to work at the United Nations in future.

“I believe my faith and trust in God has opened many doors for me. Even though I haven’t had much experience in life, it’s been quite a journey with expected ups and downs.”

“Creating goals and achieving them with hard work, perseverance, and determination, irrespective of the odds are major ingredients for success.”

“Voice out your opinions, and the brilliant ideas in which you have faith. Make friends with people who share your ideas and would push you to bring out the best in you.”

“Most importantly be a woman, be beautiful, be strong, and be classy in it all.” 

Doreen Kwakye currently working in the medical field had this to say: 

“In my life, what I’ve detected in a way that I can communicate as a vision and give direction to better women’s future, is being myself and loving what God has invested in me to be.”

“In life, as a woman I had to detect and learn how much I’m worth not in money, but as a human being. As a woman! I had to be better than what I was brought up to be, to set myself as a role model for others.”

“Women now a days have to learn to encourage themselves. We already know that compared to men we are weaker vessels but spiritually we are stronger. What I’m trying to say is that, spiritually, women have to live right, and stay strong, because if we are not living right spiritually, it affects us physically.”

“We tend to settle for less and that should never happen. We are worthy and valuable!”

Father’s Input

My daughter, I’m very proud of you finishing High School and preparing for college.

One of my designs as you know is: “Woman is the key”. Now this is an abstract term. So even as a woman, you still need to understand that: “Woman is the key.”

Up to a certain age boys and girls seem to be the same. I remember as a kid, a girl looked at me and warned that she would beat me up if I messed with her. I backed off quietly.

As we grow older, that changes. Boys grow into men and girls grow into women. However, the terms of reference erroneously remains in terms of physical strength. When men confront women with physical strength as they grow older, they overwhelmingly dominate. That leads to the conclusion in people’s thinking to a great degree, that there is an edge over women.

Women are not men.

My dear, you are not a man. You are a woman, beautiful and different. You may be weaker physically but you are not weak. You have your own strengths.

Do you find the best basketball player playing tennis, or the other way round?

I’m sorry if that’s a bad analogy. But you’re a a smart gal if I ever met one. Give me a good analogy to replace that one and I’ll write about it.

I’ve tried hard to move beyond the initial concept of “Woman is the key”. Who can talk about women better than women though. So, I will ask a woman. You!

“Woman is the key” was thought of in May 1981. That was 32 years ago.

How has it helped the world the way I envisioned so many years ago. Not as much as I had hoped. However, perhaps I had to grow and mature enough to stand firm and tell you and the world that: “Woman is the key to happines.”

Even though as a woman you are the key, you must be able to handle yourself well and not let another do it for you. Collaboration is okay, but manipulation is a no no!.

I don’t have the whole answer but together we can find it.

My dear, utilize what you have as a God given gift. Present it to the world, and when the world says: “I can do that!” or some other remark, don’t be deterred. Give more honor or weight to yours and you’ll be just fine. In other words: do the best you can. It’s God’s gift to you and he’s not in the judging business.

What then has God given you as a woman?
