We become what we repeatedly doOur lives are a series of choices. Your current "life" is the result of your past choices. Most of your choices are the same day after day because your brain likes routine-it's the way it was designed-to learn something and then repeat it automatically. Once you learned how to drive, tie your shoes, brush your teeth or eat a certain way, you just keep repeating it over and over day after day. Habits make life easier because you no longer have to "think" about doing something, it just happens.However, our habits can become such forces that they cause us to forget about and stop believing in the gift of choice we all possess! By the time we become adults, most of us feel we have very little choice. We begin to believe that everything around us is choosing for us. How could I go back to school? I have kids. How could I look for a better job? I have to pay the bills. How could I go to the gym? I don't have time. How could I like broccoli? I've always hated broccoli.
