2. Background
It has been said many times that life is difficult.
After reading the following lists of habits you will be
able to analyze their relationship and your own habits.
You may already be on-board with these habits and begin
implementing more. A key reminder is to realize it is
your life and path. Family members, friends,
coworkers, customers, students, etc. will be on their
own paths. It is important not to obsess about the
path of others. Liberating yourself from bad habits
and replacing them with good habits is doable. “We are
the creative force of our life, and through our own
decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully
learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those
goals,” Stephen Covey.
