This morning as I was struggling (again) to do what I SHOULD do even though I don’t want to, God reminded me of this riddle. Can you guess the answer to the riddle?

I am your constant companion.  I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.

I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.  I am at your command.

Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me, for I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.

I am easily managed, just be firm with me.

Those who are great, I have made them great.  Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a machine and the intelligence of a person.

You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin. Show me how you want it done.

Educate me. Train me.  Lead me,  Reward me. And I will then . . . do it automatically.

I am your servant.

Who am I?

I am a habit.                                                                             Author Unknown, The Power of Attitude
