                “Habits”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”

Air Date Thursday, August 21, 2025

Each day we wake up to a new day. Each day, we choose an optimistic outlook on the day ahead or a pessimistic one. We make a choice, and that choice sets up our new day, which is usually a matter of habit.

Your habits, good or bad, lead you.

Aristotle once said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” John Maxwell noted, “Successful people are simply those with successful habits.” And the great Green Bay Packer Coach Vince Lombardi observed, “Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”

Be observant of your habits. Your habits were built over time. As you intentionally take small steps to change your habits, know it will take time before they come naturally.

For me, spending quiet time with the Lord Jesus in prayer and reading His Word gives me the very best guidance on forming and keeping good habits.
