GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #155

Habits make us what we are…..

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #154‘.

Good morning Friends,

Nothing on earth creates as much debate,
As the subject of habits that define us.
On one hand, our lives habits regulate,
On the other their ill effects we often discuss.
Were it not for the habit of earth to rotate,
To us the idea of ‘Time’ we would negate.

We ask people not to their habits be slave,
Whilst habits are even necessary to survive;
Habits tell us how things would behave,
Giving us knowledge that keeps us alive.
The best dogs have their habits perfected,
Habits tell us what exactly is expected.

Our breathing is a habit we can’t do without,
The daily chores that we do are some more;
Excellence is to be good in habits, no doubt,
Practice makes a man perfect is proven folklore.
If it hadn’t be for habits, I would say.
The world’d be a chaotic place to stay

So what’s it in habits that we often detest?
Is it that we feel habits deter innovation?
Think that when natural disasters manifest,
Things, from habits, do show deviation.
Doing things over and over again,
Is as natural as the Sun and the rain.

Habits are not something to run away from,
You have to decide which are good for you;
Early bird gets you if you’re habitually the worm,
But becoming a lion is never a taboo.
Good habits make you perfect,
Bad habits make you suspect.

…..invest in good habits.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
