“Habits determine what comes into your life,
personality decides what you want in your life,
and character decides what stays in your life.
People determine what comes into your life,
preference decides what you want in your life,
and God decides what stays in your life.
Fate determines what comes into your life,
you decide what you want in your life,
and choices decide what stays in your life.
The past determines what comes into your life,
the present decides what you want in your life,
and the future decides what stays in your life.
The mind determines what comes into your life,
the heart decides what you want in your life,
and the soul decides what stays in your life.”

If you make these five habits an essential part of your life, then you will be able to manage stress effectively.”

“Habits start out as off-hand remarks, magazine advertisements, friendly hints, experiments - like flimsy cobwebs with little substance. They grow with practice, layer by layer - thought on thought - fused with imagination and emotion until they become like steel cables - unbreakable. Habits are attitudes which grow from cobwebs into cables that control your everyday life. Self-discipline alone can make or break a habit. Self discipline alone can effect a permanent change in your self image and in you. Self-discipline achieves goals. Self discipline is not 'doing without,' it is 'doing within.'”

“Habitualization devours objects, clothes, furniture, one's wife, and the fear of war. If all the complex lives of many people go on unconsciously, then such lives are as if they had never been.
Art exists to help us recover the sensation of life; it exists to make us feel things, to make the stone stony. The end of art is to give a sensation of the object seen, not as recognized. The technique of art is to make things 'unfamiliar,' to make forms obscure, so as to increase the difficulty and the duration of perception. The act of perception in art is an end in itself and must be prolonged. In art, it is our experience of the process of construction that counts, not the finished product.”
“Habitually creative people are prepared to be lucky.”
“Habitually we are caught between the play of mind and heart: mindfulness versus heartfulness! We create this polarity within. Is it possible to reconcile?
When the heart is right, there will always be an unquestioning agreement between the mind and the heart. In fact, a perfect synchronicity exists between them and they function as one. Integrating these two principal players in our life eases our burden of existence. By ignoring either one, we cannot move ahead purposefully in life.”
