Habits



Habits are those little things we often do without the use of our heads. 
And humans have so many of them. 
Few of us really think, or perhaps most of us do,
For all we know, very few can translate ideas into actions.
Breaking free from habits, especially those destructive patterns, 
It is not easy, I know; we find them safer and more comfortable at the moment. 
It is second nature to us, because we like comfort, 
Our lives are made up of habits. 
Isn't it scary that our sickness and misery can often be traced 
Isn’t that alarming from those who endured the undesirable habit? 
If you wonder why others succeed while others fail, well, 
just look at how they differ in their habits. YOU, what is your habit? 

May this reflect in you... 

Habits indeed shape our lives in profound ways, often without us even realizing it. They can be the driving force behind our successes or the chains that hold us back. The comfort of familiar routines can be enticing, but as you pointed out, they can also lead to stagnation or even misery if those habits are destructive.

Breaking free from these patterns requires self-awareness and a willingness to change. It’s about recognizing the habits that no longer serve us and replacing them with healthier, more productive ones. This process can be challenging, as it often involves stepping out of our comfort zones and confronting the discomfort that comes with change.

Success often hinges on the small, consistent actions we take every day. Those who thrive typically cultivate habits that align with their goals, whether it’s through discipline, resilience, or a growth mindset.

So, what is your habit? Reflecting on this can be a powerful exercise. Are your habits propelling you toward your aspirations, or are they holding you back? Identifying and understanding your habits is the first step toward transformation. What changes can you make today to foster habits that lead to a more fulfilling life?

A Poem For all Ages - MGS

I write a poem that makes the world see,    a woven thread wherein hearts can be free. I write a poem that older folks feel,    echoes of wisdom, truth that is real. I write a poem that the youngsters think,   a spark of imagination, a vibrant ink. I write a poem that made the world known,   in verses and stanzas, our stories are sown. I write a poem that makes the world blue,   a reflection of sorrow, a true glance. I write a poem that makes the older folks cry,   for memories cherished and moments gone by. I write a poem that makes youngsters mourn,   for dreams that have faded and hopes that are torn. I write a poem to make the world healed,   with love as the balm and compassion revealed. I write a poem to make the world smile,    a gentle reminder to pause for a while. I write a poem to make the older hope,   a bridge to the future, a way to cope. I write a poem to mak...

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
