Habits, devotion/fixity of purpose and temptation

Habit
People are creatures of habit. Some of our habits are good, such as brushing our teeth and some habits are bad, such as losing our temper. Habits are developed by repeating specific actions over and over. And usually, the only way to get rid of bad habit is to replace them with good habits. If the void of the bad habit is not filled with something good, the bad will often return. Pick out a habit you would like to replace and a behavior to replace it with. Start now,
right now!
Remember, habit if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.

Devotion/fixity of purpose 
It is a good day to examine your commitments. What are you willing to die for? What are you willing to put time, money and energy into? And what activities are you willing to back with action and not just talk? Commitment is all about fixity of purpose and it demands persistence and perseverance. It has to do with devotion—a willingness to pay the cost. Once you are committed to something, persistent action and focus follow.
Though there may be many pressures to discontinue the course you are on. Always ignore them and focus.

Temptation
Have you ever been tempted before?
You can't stop the birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building a nest in your hair. Meanwhile, temptation is not the issue as much as what you respond to it is. There is no temptation without previous preparation. Have you been playing yourself in the temptation's playground or have you been avoiding it by travelling down a different, more godly path thinking or exposure? However, running away from temptation is the smartest thing to do.
Note: No one knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good. Nonetheless, there is a silly idea about, that good people don't know what temptation means? They do, in fact it is good people that are often tempted.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.
