Here's a short poem from Jack D. Hodge that is worth remembering as you continue making this year your best ever:
Who Am I?
I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command. Half the things you do you might aswell turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed - you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great individuals and, alas, of all failure as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failure, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human. You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me.
Take Me, train me, be firm with me and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am Habit

Wise words and quotes for inspiration, reflection and thought:
"Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain.
Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles
of life – facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our
resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own
unique potential."
-- John Amatt
“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
-- George Bernard Shaw
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."
-- Albert Einstein
Remember: what you do is what you become. Make your habits and deeds for mastery now!
Go for it!
