HABIT V/S WILL POWER

While preparing for CAT one thing that I have discoverd is that MAN IS NOT THE SLAVES OF HIS HABITS AS LONG AS HE HAS A STRONG WILL POWER.Though he has the advantage of changing his habits with the help of his will power he seldom does so.

One of my 24 yr old habit was to wake up late in the morning.After leaving school I dnt remeber a single day of my life when I woke up before 7:30 am.The nursery rhyme 'Early to bed a early to rise' was a distant dream.

But in the process of preparation..when I found muself way behind other competitors...in a mocking state...I thought to myself that I need to pull up my socks to be a part of the rat race .......that was to bell the CAT.And for that the first thing that i felt was to change my habits...and be a bit disciplined.With discipline comes sincerity and with that comes success and thats what i wanted.

So it was necessary for me to set a routine for myself with my day beginning at 5:30.Initial hurdles were there in following my routine but I was determined.And to my utter disbelief I have been successful in my venture as its 5:30 that my day starts everyday and that too without any problems.

Seems such a trifle thing to discuss???Well not a bad thing to begin with.After all,our mastery in such trifle things lays the foundation to a ineffable deeds.

We are humans.We cant become GOD.........but at least try and become GOD of small things.

The most tough task in this world is not to change the world, but to change oneself and the first step is to be conscious of ones habits as is mentioned in this topic. So this is a great learning for us - a first attempt towards self mastery!
