HABIT is defined as “an acquired behaviour pattern;” one that plays a prominent role in our life. To be sure habits, for the most part, are innocuous. Those, however, which endanger our well-being demand to be questioned. In blindly submitting to self-imposed rules of behaviour, no less those unconsciously assumed, we impair our ability to judge both right and wrong.

Doing things out of habit, never questioning our motives, tends to absolve our behaviour: Be it right or wrong, we will have failed to subject it to the crucible of honesty and truthfulness.

Honesty and truthfulness, ever our TOUCHSTONE, enable us to know both who we are and our purpose in life; personal traits that instill self-respect and honour our worth.
