“A morning coffee is my favorite way of starting the day, settling the nerves so that they don’t later fray.” — Marcia Carrington

Habits matter. Not a bit. They matter a lot.

Like Marcia Carrington, it may be the habit of drinking a coffee at the front end of the day.

Like Benjamin Franklin, who would ask, “What good shall I do this day?”

Like John C. Maxwell, who has developed the habit of adding value to people every single day.

Habits can make or break you.

Every year something intriguing happens at the beginning of January. When I go to the gym, it’s challenging to get access to the machines because many people work out.

Who has not set a New Year’s resolution or a goal to get in shape? We are excited. We buy the newest dress, post on social media that we’re getting in shape, and see us as Mrs. or Mr. Universe.

And then towards the end of the month, the gyms get empty once again.

I had a colleague who wanted to run. He bought beautiful shoes and an expensive watch. But he never went running. Not one single time!
