There may be a tendency in our lives to allow what we believe to be harmless habits, manifest into dominating forces if left unattended. For example:

• Mismanaging money can lead you to the poorhouse.
• Experimenting with mind-altering substances can create dependency.
• Telling one lie can lead to more lies to cover up the initial lie.
• Being consistently late in life can lead to missed opportunities.
• Having a negative outlook can lead to adverse outcomes.
• Gossiping can lead to lost relationships.
• Taking shortcuts in life can cheat you in the long run.
• Consistent misspellings, punctuation, and grammatical errors in your method of communication can make you appear less intelligent.
• Laziness can lead to poor health and lack of self-development.
• Speaking without thinking can lead to compromising situations.
• Lack of manners can lead to the appearance of ungratefulness.
• Failure to follow directions can lead to disastrous results.
• Lack of self-confidence can lead to people taking advantage of you.
• Resisting change can lead to other implications.

Take inventory of your bad habits and work diligently to improve upon them. What may initially appear harmless can have a tremendous effect on your day to day living.
