Take Inventory of Your Bad Habits
Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after
your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.
Benjamin Franklin
In any organisation, once in
every year a complete inventory is taken to take stock of the assets and the
liabilities so that the balance sheet can be drawn. The health of an
organisation can be seen not merely looking at the profit and loss account, but
also at the balance sheet. The investors will be keen to know the liability
part of the balance sheet. As individuals, we should also know our assets,
which are our good habits as well as our liabilities, which are our bad habits.
Today, make an inventory of your
bad habits! Sit calmly and list at least ten bad habits, which you want to get
rid of. Against each bad habit, honestly write down how the same has affected
your life. Just visualise how your life would be now and in future without
these bad habits.
The law of nature is very clear:
what is noticed alone will grow. The same applies to removing something bad.
Unless you notice a bad habit, you cannot remove it. It’s like garbage removal.
Unless you notice, you will not remove it!
Make today an inventory taking
day!
