Either Or, it's a choice that sometimes we may not be aware of making, sometime in the past. In becoming a WA member and initiating lessons, I've made a few startling self discoveries. One of which is organization skills or lack there of in certain areas.
Such as filing and paperwork. It's everywhere and I took a little detour to tidy up a bit and get set to keep it that way. In doing so I ran across this snippet. Food for thought.
I am your constant companion,
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure,
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me
And I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done,
Ready to put this into action?

And after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great men and women,
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those of you who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine,
Plus the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin.
It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me
And I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am HABIT!
