Breaking the Chains of Habits and your B.S.

Watch your thoughts; they become words; watch your words; they become habits... -Frank Outlaw

I was talking with one of my sisters (through of course Sisters Striving for Excellence, Inc.-- the best women organization in the world!) about the reality TV show phenomenon. We both were caught up in the hype and would have long discussions about who's team we were on (Team Chrissy or Team Yandy--Love & Hip Hop; Team Nene or Team Sheree--RHOA, etc.). But this time around we both, unknowingly, decided to truly focus on our personal initiatives, goals, and vision for 2012. So the reality TV shows are taking a back seat!

We both unconsciously decided that we are breaking habits that are not productive or is not revealing positive results. Have you sat back and thought about the many things that you are doing that does not yield you the results that you are expecting? Through my meditation in prayer this am, I was forced to really think about this:

"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." -Samuel Johnson

When you are constantly thinking about your spiritual, mental, and emotional growth, you are always examining your habits. Chains are tough to cut as habits are tough to break. Change your thoughts and begin with new habits that grow a healthy you. So this where what you believe seep into your habits Your B.S. assist with the direction your life goes...and we all know that you can only move forward or backward...

Check out your own B.S. -Jewel Diamond Taylor

B.S. refers to Belief System---those things you hold to be true about yourself and others.
Your B.S. is a product of your experiences and perceptions.
Those things you have come to believe are true.
Those things buried in the back of your mind. But are they really buried?

No!

Your belief system determines your environment, your abilities and the way you approach life's experiences.
What do you really believe about yourself?
What do you belief about your ability to have, to be and to do all the things you hold dear in your heart?
If you really want to know what you believe, take a look at the people, conditions and situations in your immediate environment. (Look at what you allow to enter into your spirit and soul. What you listen to, read, and watch, all play a dynamic role. -TNG)

They are the reflection of your own B.S.
